RealNetworks’ GameHouse had made a deal to bring Let’s Make a Deal to Facebook as a game this Fall.
GameHouse secured the exclusive licensing deal with Fremantle Media to develop social games for the TV game show, which debuted in 1962 and is now on CBS daily.
“GameHouse works directly with top IP owners like FremantleMedia Enterprises to further their brands and reach new audiences,” said Matt Hulett, senior vice president, RealNetworks. “By partnering with FME to develop the social version of ‘Let’s Make A Deal,’ GameHouse continues our commitment to bringing world-class entertainment properties to life through fun and engaging games.”
Let’s Make a Deal is the ultimate high-stakes entertainment game show where audience members dress up in outlandish costumes to get host Wayne Brady’s attention. Contestants make deals and have the chance to win big prizes and exciting trips to exotic locales — but must watch out for the Zonks! With the help of announcer Jonathan Mangum and model Tiffany Coyne, Brady ultimately sets up the “Big Deal of the Day” for one lucky contestant.
“We are thrilled to partner with GameHouse to extend the ‘Let’s Make A Deal’ experience for our fans,” said Nicholas Dale, manager, interactive for FremantleMedia Enterprises. “Social games are a natural extension of our properties and the interactive nature of ‘Let’s Make A Deal’ makes it a perfect fit for this platform.”
