1995 - Present
Side by Side is a Double Prices-esque game with a slight twist. A four-digit prize is shown along with two sets of two digits. Both sets are in the price of the prize, but the contestant must decide in which order they go. For example, if the numbers "42" and "68" are shown, the contestant must guess if the price is $4,268 or $6,842. A correct guess wins the bonus prize.
This is another short pricing game with a 50% win rate used to make up for time lost on more complex games. Side by Side is somewhat more exciting than Double Prices, Switch?, and One Right Price because of its sleek setup and neat win/loss readout. A win will read out with the price, a loss reads out with the word "sorry". In fact, Side by Side is usually easier than the other simple 50% pricing games because the range between the two price possibilities often exceeds $2,000.
