Danger Price

1976 - Present

Danger Price is a game played for four prizes. The contestant is shown a "danger price" which represents the price of one of the products. If the contestant can choose the three products that do not have the danger price, s/he wins all four prizes. Picking the danger price at any point ends the game and all the prizes are lost.

Set Changes: The first setup for included four small prize podiums with the numbers 1-4 on them, concealing the price. It also included an awkward-looking board with a fierce TPiR pirate/skull & crossbones displaying the danger price. Shortly after the game was introduced, the prize podiums also displayed the name of the prize. The Danger Price board first was located on the turntable, then moved to the center of the stage. In 1986, the entire game was refurbished with a much improved design. A new Danger Price board was developed with four octagons representing the prices. The models simply pushed a button that would reveal the price of each prize. Green has always signified the choice was safe; red signifies the danger price.

This is the first Danger Price board, today being played on the turntable.	Four beautiful prizes--and four ugly podiums!
