Check game gets changed to a two-prize game.

The player is shown two prizes, and the player must then write the check for an amount that is higher than the prize on the left, but lower than the prize on the right. If the player is correct, they win both prizes, plus whatever amount is on the check.

If this sounds like another magical game with a special number, it was fully intentional.

Before Carol Merrill, Barker's Beauties and Vanna White there was Roxanne. She even had a doll made for her!

I had that exact same idea for Make Your Move! I even joked that they could make the change permanent and Make Your Move could be the quickest SP/Car game in the dhow's lineup! The producers would love it!

Honestly I’d like to see 4 digit Lucky Seven for high end four digit prizes again. That was such a refreshing playing on Halloween and the game so much more fun to watch.

I would too, but only if the player got to eliminate one of the 4 numbers.  Not a big fan of difficult pricing games that don't offer cash or an automobile

I guess I'd say play Check Game and/or Money Game in reverse.


For the latter, you'd have to pick 4 numbers, none of which being the front or the back of the car.  If you did, the game is over and the player loses.  However, he or she keeps whatever was won prior to filling up the money side.  After filling up the money side, you have to choose one of the three remaining numbers that were part of the price of the car.  If you pick one, you'd win $5000 & a chance to walk away.  With two, it's $10,000, and if you picked all three, you'd win $15K (or 20K/25K) AND the car.

During the bailout segment, if you were wrong, you lose everything and the game ends.  BTW, the car has to be a luxury vehicle.

I know that's stealing or borrowing from Gas Money, but if the above actually happened someday, I wouldn't have an issue with it.

The TALK Is Right / Pricing Game One-Offs

The current showrunners have shown a willingness to try different things with pricing games on a single or occasional basis.  Some of them aren't inherently bad ideas (e.g., six-digit 3 Strikes, as long as there are no repeating digits).  Some, I would say, are (e.g., Any Number with a piggy bank worth more than the car on offer).

One I thought of years ago I'd like to see tried is Make Your Move with two two-digit prizes and a five-digit car.  You could come up with a setup that works, and considering two three-digit prizes have been used in the game's history, we know those coloured sliders can be swapped out.

What are some other one-off ideas you'd like to see tried for pricing games?
