Double Prices

1972 - Present

One of the first five pricing games and undoubtedly the dullest game played today. The game is simple: a prize is shown along with two possible prices. One is a right price, the other is wrong. Pick the right one and you win. Usually played these days to make up for time lost in more complicated pricing games.

Set Changes: The setup for Double Prices has always been extremely simple. At first, the game was played in the center of the stage. The podiums for the price tags have changed slightly with the years. The first setup was a three-tiered podium that included the two tags and the company logo (or the TPiR logo) on top. For a brief period, the horrific One Right Price podium was used for this game also, which meant that ugly "?" was shown meaninglessly. By the late '70s the podium had morphed again. In the mid-'80s the game was moved behind one of the doors. By the 1990s, the current Double Prices podium was established, which is by far the sleekest to date. It includes a button that Bob pushes to reveal the correct price.

This is the first setup for Double Prices. Note the extra plug the Caloric company is getting.	Isn't this just awful? That $2700 is just hanging there. And the ? from One Right Price is out of place here.

Here's another Double Prices podium circa 1978. It has three shelves and no ? mark, but it's still pretty ugly.	Dear God...we wasted a car game on Double Prices? What a shame.

This is the 1980's Double Prices podium. A slight improvement.	That car is yours! They probably didn't get much use out of these high price tags again.

The current Double Prices podium is much more tolerable. That's a towel Chantal is wearing.	Of course, it always helps to win. This contestant lost out on a spa. Note the button Bob is pushing to reveal the price.
