Largely from a throwaway remark on the forums, can't even remember where, I thought to myself 'what WOULD our game be like with multiple £250k boxes and a Quarter-Million Mission?'...

...granted we'll almost certainly not get one because we've had a jackpot win, but I thought I'd try this for a thought experiment and a fun (?) little twist.

The rules, in case you're unaware; every time the £250k isn't won, another £250k replaces the next highest remaining amount. Repeat - until the entire 'red' side is full of jackpot amounts, in the case of the US, and I'll stick with those rules here.

First game will be with two £250k boxes, the second replacing £100k.


Who wants to play?

Could you pick it for me please. Then it actually might put some significance on a swap if needed.

Box 4... £250,000!!

(Well that would have been a very quick mission if Wakey played first!)

Box 17... 50p!
Box 19... £35,000!
Box 22... 1p!!
Box 3... £500.

A bad start, but you still have one £250,000 box along with £50,000 and £75,000... and you did lose two of the bottom three.

OFFER £6,000

The Banker will not change the offer. He believes you will crash this round.
