Take Two

1979 - Present

Take Two is a game played for four prizes. The contesant is shown a target price that equals the price of two of the prizes added together. The contestant chooses two of the prizes s/he think will equal the target price when added together. If s/he is correct, s/he wins all four prizes. If s/he is wrong, s/he has the opportunity to try once more, using one of the prize s/he already took or the two prizes s/he didn't choose originally.

One of the four prizes usually ends in a double zero (such as $600) and is often one of the prizes required to hit the target number. Such a prize should stand out as a keeper should the contestant need his/her second turn.

Set Changes: The Take Two board started with a pink and blue motif and changed to yellow and red in 1983. The board was completely revamped in 1997. In the brief period when the board is seen but the prizes are not revealed, a board covers up the name of the prizes. With the coming of the 1997 set, this board now contains the TPiR logo.

Here's the first Take Two board back in 1980. Note that the prize names are covered.	Isn't a sewing machine every soldier's dream prize? This split screen shot died quickly.

Those prizes equal $1260, which is not the target price. But stick with that $800!	Here's the display affiriming the bad news. Unfortunately, this contestant didn't fare much better with his second take, either.

Here's some better news...	The Take Two board with color change circa 1988.

Yet another winner!	This is a radical board transformation to say the least. Bob is conveniently standing in front of the Price is Right logo.

Which of these two prizes add up to $2767?	It's those two. Our contestant didn't win, although Bob was kind enough to show the right answers.
