New Pricing Game Idea: Price Disk (undecided name)
« on: January 23, 2018, 06:50:30 PM »
The game is set up like this with 8 digits arranged in a circular pattern on a "disk":

  1  9
3      0
6      7
  4  2


There is also a light bluish "window" (similar to that found on Push Over but curved instead) that stretches to include 4 of the 8 numbers.  The contestant must rotate this "window" so that when read CLOCKWISE, the correct price of the prize is highlighted.  For example:

  1  9
3      0
6      7
  4  2


This would be read as $2,463, not $3,642.

Also, for ease/simplicity, an LCD screen (something the show seems to love) in the center of the titular disk would update itself for every one of the window's moves.
If played for a car, this game could either be reworked to have 10 digits instead of 8 and a 5-digit window OR the display would simply put a 1 in front of the bid.  Of course, since it would be an LCD screen, it would always format the bid with a dollar sign and the thousands separator comma.

Alternatively, the digits on the set and the "window" could also be part of a special LCD touchscreen a la Double Cross.

So essentially this game is a mix of Freeze Frame (numbers arranged in circular pattern), Push Over (light blue window), and Double Cross (touchscreen is used to submit answer).

It's identical to "Freeze Frame", which also has it's numbers read clockwise.

Except in this game, you're working with individual digits instead of pairs of digits and you're moving a window over the numbers instead of the numbers themselves rotating.

You can make whatever excuses you want regarding the set design, but it's still Freeze Frame.
