Price is Right ONE PRIZE GAMES
Bill Mcdaniel
Currently there are SEVEN pricing games that are played for a SINGLE
prize. I am going to rate them and indicate which games should get the
heave ho. I am going to grade them A+ for excellent all the way to F,
meaning get rid of it.
Check Game:This game involves pricing skill, and some thinking. It COULD
be considered a TWO prize game TECHNICALLY, since one of the prizes is
CASH. The prizes offered have a good range so writing the check for $2500
every time does NOT guarantee a win, which is good. It's a much simpler
game than many who play it make it seem. It requires to LISTEN to Bob
explain the rules. If the contestant would just LISTEN, they would be ok.
Instead of looking out into the dopey audience. Grade: B
Squeeze Play:This game involves a LITTLE pricing skill, but it's a very
uninspired and unimaginitive game. Hearing the squeaking sound insults me
because it reminds me of my bones when I wake up every morning. Trash
this game, in other words, Grade: F
Double Prices:Heads or Tails? 50/50 chance to win a nice prize. Very
uninspired, the MOST boring game. Grade:F
Side by Side:Hybrid of Double prices. Again very uninspired. Grade: F
Freeze Frame:This game annoys me with the "click click" and the slow
moving numbers. The game itself is boring LOOKING also. The price is 99.
9% SO predictable, FF gets another F from the professor :)
Pick A Number:Like Squeeze Play, a 1/3 chance of winning. A "cross
section" of Golden Road. I say scrap it. Grade: F
Range Game: Many of you dislike this game. I like it, but I would like it
MORE, if they didn't always have the price generally in the "middle" of
the scale. I love the sound effect as the range finder moves slowly up
the scale. It's very dramatic, and I would keep this game, but maybe
revamp it a little. Maybe make the range $100 instead of $150. Grade: C+
Well that's it for the ONE Prize Pricing games. Overall, Keep Check Game
and Range Game. Scrap Double Prices, Freeze Frame, Pick A Number, Side by
Side and Squeeze Play.

>Range Game: It's very dramatic, and I would keep this game, but maybe
I had this idea...have the range of $150, with a $100 and $50 range nestled
into it, so if they get within $150, they win the prize. But if they are
within the $100, they could win an additional prize (or cash) and within $50, a
large prize (perhaps even a car, or $5000 or something like that).
