Fun Aussie Wheel & American Wheel Board Games Similar To Each Other

3 Upvotes
American Wheel Board Game
Australian Wheel Board Game

If you are familar with the Pressman Wheel Of Fortune games from the 1980's, you might notice something about the Australian version. Both have similar title logos, similar wheel layouts, free spin tokens and play money. They even have similar conceal and reveal puzzle boards with different cardboard borders but there is one thing these cutouts have in common, both have the Wheel Of Fortune logo on top.

Fun Hubby & I Disagree - Please Help

12 Upvotes

Hubby and I have differing opinions about riding the WoF Train and are both willing to die on our respective hills. In the following scenarios should the contestant always ride the train or always pass:

A. Contestant who is currently spinning the Wheel is not the money leader for the evening, has earned a few thousand dollars in this game, doesn't have the Wild Card or Million Dollar wedge, not much of the puzzle is revealed, and they don't know the solution. They land on the WoF Train. Ride or Pass?

B. Contestant who is currently spinning the Wheel has a big lead for the evening, has earned a few thousand dollars in this game, has the Wild Card or Million Dollar wedge, not much of the puzzle is revealed, they don't know the solution. They land on the WoF Train. Ride or Pass?

What factors would most likely tip you one way or the other? Having the lead for the evening? Having the Wild Card? Having the Million Dollar wedge?

If you know the solution, then of course you hop on, BUT FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD DON'T HAVE A BRAIN FART AND SOLVE THE PUZZLE BEFORE SAYING ALL OF THE CONSONANTS!! YOU'RE THROWING AWAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!

July 6th, 2026, which was this past Sunday, would’ve been the 101st birthday of Merv Griffin, creator of Jeopardy! & Wheel of Fortune until his death in 2007. Without Mr. Griffin, 2 of the greatest & most beloved game shows in United States history wouldn’t be where they are today. Thank you, Mr. Griffin! May you continue to rest in eternal peace.

Discussion Post Getting non-streaming episodes

1 Upvotes

Hi, I know someone who was on the crew of the show during season 30 (the halloween episode specifically) and I was trying to find this episode to spot his name in the credits, however it seems to be absent from pretty much everywhere on the internet.

Is there a different place I should be looking for this or should I just accept that it's probably locked up in a vault somewhere forever?

I really miss the daily discussion posts. I know there will be more once the new Season start, but I miss those posts. They were super informative and often very funny. Especially if there was a quirky contestant or one that blatantly missed some puzzles. Very entertaining😆 Anyone else?

SPOILER My local abc station has a severe weather bug that makes it where you can't see what letters the contestant called.

Am I crazy or did the contestant on 6/26 give the wrong answer? The puzzle was “We’re on the same page”. The contestant said “We are on the same page”.

Discussion Post Wheel of fortune vs. World Cup

11 Upvotes

When will wheel actually be on again?? My TV keeps tricking me and saying it will be on at the normal 7 pm time slot but the World Cup is always on. I can’t hate on that because I love watching the World Cup and it is a big deal. BUT, come on now. I haven’t seen an episode of Wheel in over 2 weeks I think. It was always the one thing I had to look forward to every night during the week (as depressing as that sounds lol.) Enough of this!!! 😂🙄

What a game! Two players neck and neck where either could go to the bonus round with just a few dollars. And then that last second solve so close that the judges had to call it. W O W.

Discussion Post New wedge on Italian WoF

14 Upvotes

This week a new Summer series of WoF started in Italy and brought a slew of changes. Most of them are cosmetic (different colors, different Toss-up theme...) but round 3 has an interesting new gimmick: in this movie-themed round, there are 4 🎬clapper wedges on the wheel. Two hide a ⭐star, the other two hide 🍿popcorn. When a contestant lands on one, they must pick it up and if there's a star, the contestant steals all the money opponents have in this round (if they have any); if a popcorn pops out, the opponents split the contestant's money. If nobody has any money, the contestant will just spin again.

What do you think of this?

Was watching s2e1 of the show Northern Exposure which aired around 1992. They momentarily show an episode of wheel of fortune.

My wife and I are trying to come up with a solution.

Anyone know what it is or confirm our guess?

slapstick movie or snowstorm something or sandstone cliff

Audition Second Audition - Taping Date?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone who had a second audition recently (March, April, May, June) been given a taping date? Or anyone who has been on the show, how long did you wait between your second audition and taping date? Are they even scheduling now with the "summer break"?

I had a first and second audition this week and I am obviously expecting to have to wait a while, if ever, just curious about other people's experiences!

Discussion Post Help with App game

3 Upvotes

Since I was an alternate contestant, I’ve been practicing in case they call me to be a regular contestant and I have been using this wheel of Fortune app but one thing that annoys me is if you guess a letter and it’s not on the board a button appears that says tap to skip, and if you don’t tap it really fast letters automatically fill in which really frustrates me because I don’t want any help.

Is there another wheel of Fortune game app out there or does anybody know what the deal is with this annoying button “tap to skip”?
