I think Rachel is a lovely girl, I also think her game is a really good idea. I really like the show but in this instance they were totally horrible to her, o.k be consructive in your criticisms about the board game and about Gross Net Profits etc but don't expect everyone too have a Business Degree. I know the Dragons are investing their own money and have to be carefull doing so, but I really felt for her when she walked away, really I did
Yes, this game turned out to be successful. But this shows why they didn't invest in her, poor presentation for one and two, games are almost always a failure. Good for Rachel, she proved everyone wrong!
The game is pretty successful, she really did expand and make 17 other cities, and i heard they were suppose to make a harry potter version as well. Destination Hogwarts or something. Crazy how far some people get with there ideass
Rachel did very well & got an MBE! In 2009 it went into administration unfortunately. But this is proof that just because investors don`t back you, you can still go on and achieve great things!
Whilst this is edited to create a certain impression, this game IMHO, is a winner. Perhaps they're not as vicious as they appear but the world really is ready for a serious competitor to 'Monopoly' and this may well be it. It saddens me that people like Duncan aren't more supportive of her. If Peter Jones had backed her, I'd have choked on my own saliva. What a bunch of patronising shits.
Funny in the end. Even though they slated her because of her competition she outsold every other board game including monopoly. fell on a bit of bad luck with the Harry Potter game but now she's involved in a venture with a former dragon so she's still doing ok. If not for the HP disaster she might be absolutely sailing now
Doug Richard always tries to look smart- here he's just an idiot, telling her she's not worth investing in because she's nervous and doesnt know her numbers. Now her game became successful and he looks like a fool, I wouldnt trust him to run a lemonade stand.
That's a stupid reason to peg someone, because they don't know the difference between net and gross profit. I'm sure she knows it. Just because she got confused of the difference doesn't mean she doesn't understand the mechanics of the business.
@TheOptimod that's true, but it's good to have people like him. He provided Rachel all the mistakes she has made so that she can learn and prevent it later on in life.
@stakk67 Well, her company went bankrupt in 2009 or so. She lost her house, her car and everything she had been working to achieve.
What happened was that her bank went bust and her license for a harry potter version of the game was rendered useless when the movie was postponed six months.
Today things are better; she is working on new projects with the dragon Simon Dolan.
Search for destination (game) on wikipedia and look at the third reference (from BBC news) for more information.
@stakk67 i suppose you havent got the memo that her company is in liquidation. But you are right, she did go on to be succesful. She got the right exposure
@stakk67 A game can be successful without being profitable. I think it looks great, but games are very difficult to market because they generally have a very narrow focus. Destination London seems like it would fit well in a tourist shop, or in a place like the Learning Express in the US, but I've never seen it in any major toy shops or in any of the temporary kiosks at the malls. That alone is saying something.
I remember playing a board game with my brother in the 70s. It was called Cabbie and had a v approximate map of London as the board design. The figures were different coloured London taxis and the object to make as much money in a specific time period as possible. What was so original about this new version?
@RighteousPsycho, I must have low standards too, I think she's pretty and she's got a great figure! That aside, I've got to say, I felt a bit sorry for her watching this, as has been said below, she sold a lot of this product but didn't have the experience to make the business work. It's a cut-throat world and you can see by her reaction to the rejection that she took it all very personally. Poor lass.
@gnark1ll1us to be fair, the game did brilliantly (outselling monopoly in hamley's in its first year), and she herself did well to get big deals for her board game with pixar and Warner Bros. unfortunately mismanagement of the company led to overspending and it is now in administration, which probably would not have happened had a dragon invested, showing that sometimes we underestimate how important it is to have an experienced business partner at the table...
@MyTarkin Honestly, i think it's quite disgusting that you have to comment on the fact she doesn't look English.. how much of a repulsive and ignorant human being must you be? Does it really matter whether or not she is English, she's not causing any harm and has made a buisness for herself.. which is probably more than you have achieved with that sort of racist attitude. I bet your parents are proud of you.
well hello, actually, this was my own idea. I worked as a cab driver in portsmouth and everything in the game is from own experience as a cabbie. I've had about 15 other people all claiming to have had the same idea. By the way, I was 2 years olds in 1979. My idea was also rejected by all the big companies, which is why I set up my own company and did it myself.
not suprised they didnt invest ballloon couldnt understand a simple question and remember a few projection figures, how she made it i dont no, game must b good
what do these so business people know?? all they are there for is to look baffled.Aparently this boardgame is a huge success. so who and wtf are these dragon people.Just shows you how much they actually know.They are successful in there own way but they arent simon cowl foir spotting talent.( dont quote me on that)
Then quite simply they make themselves look like fools on this programme and yes they may earn the money ..so do footballers but most of them are thickos.. NUF SED):O)
You have just made two asumptions.And you are commenting on the wrong video of dragons den..this woman made a success so the dragons failed.... NUF SED ;O) ..oh and try not to use my words(Nuf sed :o)) its not good business.lmao
you dont expect dragons to instantly spot a mega opportunity. Most times they can spot a good business to invest in and sometimes they can suss out a crap one. all the dragons are 'multi-millionaires' which count for something - they have valuable advice. So if you were there, and it looked like she didnt know the answers - would you invest? no is the answer. It was the pitch that failed her
if the dragons had a magic ball to see in the future, then maybe then would invest
It;s not a question of what they know - if every potential investment had "Hey, I'm a sure-fire winner" written over it - investors would be running to her. Sometimes you have to use your judgement - sometimes your are wrong - sometimes you are right. All these guys are right more often than they are wrong - which is why they are all successful entrepreneurs. What do they know? Enough to be multi-millionairres. This was one comparatively small fish that got away. Try to be as successful.
