The appraiser's offer

After each round the appraiser makes an offer, based on the values still unopened. Take the offer ends the game with that amount. Keep playing turns it down.

Take it or keep going

If the contestant never takes an offer, they win the value in their own vault. The TV keeps the ladder of values, with each opened value crossed out, so the room can follow along. Here the contestant opens two more vaults, and then takes the next offer, which is worked out from the values still unopened.
