Make Your Move

1990 - Present

Make Your Move is an interesting game played for three prizes; one two-digit, one three-digit, and one four-digit. The prices of each prize are found on a board in a continuous string. The contestant must put markers representing the name of each prize underneath its corresponding price. If the contestant gets all the markers lined up under their respective prices, s/he wins all three prizes. Since the contestants can't overlap the digits, there are usually only two or three logical combinations for all the prizes.

Make Your Move may be the Blank Check of the 1990s in the sense that a surprisingly large number of contestants don't know how to play it. Some contestants want to overlap digits, while others try to move markers so that part of the markers aren't even under the digits!

This game is noteworthy for its stylish board and lights behind and around the digits that light up to indicate a win. The prizes and lights are color-coded for added charm.

Here's Make Your Move, one of the more stylish pricing games we've ever seen.	We're playing for these three prizes...now line them up under their respective prices...but don't overlap!

He's making his move...	...and he's set the prices.

They don't do this anymore; to help the audience understand the game, the prices have been color-coded per this contestant's guess...but that doesn't mean he's won...	...THIS means he's won! The neon lights up and he takes home all three prizes! This is one cool board!

Just for kicks, here's a Make Your Move loss from 1998. These are his final bids; note that the lights aren't color coded for his bids.	The lights are faint, but if you look close, you see that $25 was the road kit price, $715 was for the dinnerware, and Florida was $5311.
