1. List of some pricing games from the format
“The Price Is Right”
L’ABBINAMENTO Occorre abbinare correttamente 5 prodotti di drogheria al loro prezzo
IT'S IN THE BAG The contestant is shown a series of five grocery bags, with a price tag on each
one indicating the retail price of the grocery item in the bag. Six grocery items are then shown; five
of the six items correspond to the items in the bags, while the sixth item does not match any of the
displayed prices. One at a time, the contestant must match up the grocery items with their prices.
After all five choices have been made, the host reveals the price of each item. If the item in the bag
matches the one the contestant chose, the contestant wins the corresponding amount of money and
must decide whether or not to continue to the next level or quit with the money they have already
won. If they choose to continue and an incorrect match is revealed, the contestant loses everything
they won up to that point and the game ends. The first correct match pays a €1000 prize, with each
successive correct match doubling the contestant's winnings (€2000, €4000, €8000 and €16000).
In prime time, the last bag's value is increased to €24000.
L’ACCOPPIATA Fra 6 prodotti di drogheria occorre scegliere i 2 prodotti che in base al loro prezzo
rientrino nella stessa accoppiata.
Vengono comunicati 3 range nei quali rientrano le 3 possibili accoppiate di prodotti, ad esempio:
> la prima accoppiata va da 1 a 1,25 €
> la seconda accoppiata va da 1,25 a 1,5 €
> la terza accoppiata va da 1,5 a 1,75 €
dopo la descrizione dei prodotti il concorrente può tentare la prima accoppiata, scegliendo 2 prodotti: il
presentatore scopre il loro prezzo, e se rientrano nella stessa accoppiata il concorrente vince subito il
premio in Vetrina; se invece l'accoppiata non è stata indovinata, il concorrente ha una seconda possibilità:
deve tenere uno dei 2 prodotti scelti e tentare la nuova accoppiata con uno di quelli ancora sulla ruota,
e se questa volta trova l'accoppiata giusta vince il premio.
PICK A PAIR Six grocery items with matching prices are shown in three pairs, each with their
price concealed. The contestant must select two items with the same price in order to win a prize. If
the contestant is incorrect, he may make a second guess, keeping one of the initially-selected items
and attempting to match it with one of the remaining items.
MINIMARKET fare la spesa con 5 prodotti di drogheria
per vincere il concorrente può acquistare quali e quanti prodotti vuole (dei 5) per rientrare nel range
di 2 prezzi comunicati dal presentatore all'inizio della prova (ad esempio tra i 22 € e i 23,5 €).
2. GROCERY GAME The contestant is shown five grocery items and asked to purchase quantities of them
to total between € 22 and € 23,5. The contestant can purchase any quantity of any item. However, once an
item has been selected, that item cannot be selected again. After the contestant selects an item, its price is
revealed and multiplied by the quantity, then added to the contestant's running total on a cash register. If
the contestant succeeds, he wins a prize. The game ends if the contestant's total exceeds € 23,5 or they
exhaust all five items before reaching € 22.
PIÙ O MENO Scegliere i 3 prodotti di drogheria più cari tra i 6 proposti; la maggiore difficoltà è
rappresentata dal fatto che in genere i prezzi dei prodotti sono molto simili, e per vincere è necessario anche
un pizzico di fortuna.
HI-LO The contestant is shown six grocery items and asked to choose the three he believes are the
highest-priced. After the prices of the contestant's choices are revealed and placed in the Hi row, the
lowest-priced of the items in the Hi row is kept and the remaining items' prices are then revealed
and placed in the Lo row. If the contestant has correctly chosen the three highest-priced items, he
wins a prize.
Early in the game's history, the contestant was asked whether each individual item's price belonged
in the Hi row or the Lo row. The contestant either won the game by correctly placing each of the six
prices or lost by making a mistake.

GRANDE GIOCO il Gioco si basa su 6 prodotti di drogheria, per vincere il concorrente dovrà
indicare i 4 prodotti che costano meno di un determinato valore
GRAND GAME The contestant is shown a target price and six grocery items, four of which are
priced below the target price. One at a time, the contestant selects items he believes are priced lower
than the target. The contestant's winnings start at €1 and are multiplied by ten for each correct
selection, to €10, €100 and €1000. A contestant who makes an incorrect guess prior to reaching the
€1000 level keeps whatever money is accumulated to that point. After reaching the €1000 level, the
contestant may choose to quit the game and keep their winnings or to risk that money in order to
attempt to select the one remaining product priced lower than the target. A correct final choice wins
the maximum of €10000; however, if the final item the contestant selects is one of the two above
the target price, the contestant loses everything.
