Like a lot of modern gameshow apps, it&#8217;s quite aggressive in trying to persuade you to buy into the microtransactions, but where Barnstorm shines is that there&#8217;s usually a local multiplayer &#8220;play the show&#8221; option, and that is still here, and it&#8217;s a fairly accurate representation of the show (the shot selections are very good, but it doesn&#8217;t look like the experts ever get their question wrong out of selection so no chance of a double red, the experts are no help most of the time, and the ending if you don&#8217;t get the final question right is&#8230;quite off). The first half of the vid demonstrates that, the second half is a demonstration of the one-player &#8220;social&#8221; game, basically using lifelines and spending money and opening safes. It&#8217;s free to play, so draw your own conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"665\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/axqZVo863r0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To cash in on the new series beginning on Saturday night, Barnstorm have released the The Wheel app for iOS (and presumably Android very soon).
