Bonkers

10/1/2001 - Present

Bonkers was the first game to premiere in the 30th season of TPiR.  The game smacks very much of Race Game and also of Split Decision, the failed game of the 24th season.  A price is shown for a four-digit prize, but each digit is wrong.  The contestant has to decide if the given digit is higher or lower than the actual digit.  He does this by placing a disk either above (if he thinks it's higher) or below (if he thinks it's lower) the given digit.  He then hits a button, and if he's right, he wins the prize.  If he's wrong, he must continue to make changes, without knowing which digit is wrong.  He has thirty seconds to play the game, but if he does not get the disks placed correctly in those 30 seconds, he loses.

Set Changes: On the first playing of the game, the actual price was revealed by a giant price tag held by a Barker's Beauty.  On the second playing of the game, the price was revealed at the bottom of the Bonkers board by a button that Bob pressed.

It's Bonkers!	Bob demonstrates the placement of the disks.  Above if you think the actual digit is higher, below if you think it is lower.
What a nifty clock!  Very Clock Game-esque.	And he's off.  This is his first attempt...is he right?
Bzzz!  Of course not.  The odds against that are 15 to 1.	But he gets it the fifth time around and wins a snowmobile!
Wow! With one second left, no less.	Here's the lovely Heather with our monstrous price tag.
Wow! Bonkers was won in its second playing, and the guy got all four digits right on his first try!	Here's the new reveal...
