The Price is Right

over 7 years

America’s #1 game show is coming to Sandbox! Play along! Bid on terrific prizes! Prove you are the smartest in the whole forum! You, too can win a fortune in fake prizes… if the Price is Right!

Format

1) Contestants’ Row

  • Four players get to play. A prize is shown. Each player gets to make one bid as to what they think it costs. Whomever bids closest to the actual retail price without going over wins the prize and gets to play a pricing game. If you’ve never seen the show before, here's an example.

2) Pricing game

  • The winner of Contestants Row gets to play a game where they can win bigger prizes. Each pricing game is different, so rules will be explained when we get to it.

  • After the pricing game, a new player is called to contestant’s row and the process repeats. After three pricing games, the two biggest winners compete in the showcase round.

3) Showcases

  • The two biggest winners play. Each player gets a showcase filled with prizes to bid on. The person who bids closest to the price of their own showcase without going over wins their showcase. Here’s an example.

Rules:

  • 24 hour time limit for players. In Contestants Row, you have 24 hours after the previous bidder to make your bid. I’ll PM you when you are called on down the first time.

  • You're allowed one missed deadline. Miss your deadline in Contestants’s Row and your turn is skipped; miss twice and we’ll get a replacement player to move the game along. Other situations will be handled on a case-by-case basis. (PM me if you're going to be gone so I can get an extended deadline/sub player.)

  • Prices are in US dollars. Our friends outside the US may use currency converters to help them out if they need them. (No googling the prices of prizes—that would be unfair.)

  • Audience participation is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED! Feel free to shout out suggestions in the thread.

A lovely 4K TV!



This 55 inch Sony 4K TV has has an ultra-vibrant display, two responsive bass speakers, and various surround-sound options. Perfect for movie night with the friends! Or binge-watching Adam Sandler flicks on Netflix at 3:00 in the morning. We’re not gonna judge. Back to you, John!

Dooze, you get the first bid! How much do you think that TV costs?



(Bidding order: Dooze, arisuu, Jeff, steph.
Dooze has 24 hours to bid on the TV. As soon as Dooze bids, ari can bid, and then Jeff, and so on. We'll announce the winner when all four bids are in.)

Sweet. Gonna keep this open a little bit more to see if anybody else signs up. I may start it a little bit early if that's the case; ignore the countdown.
