Title: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: brosa0 on February 27, 2019, 06:16:21 AM
About 5 years ago I had an idea that we could compare international versions of pricing games one by one - after all, there is always keen interest when games are refurbished on the US version, so seeing how different countries interpret the look of the games and their staging might also be of interest.  Of course life got in the way...

I've revisited it this year and collected as many images of the various games from every international version as I could find.  A lot of the ones I collected years ago were from various TPIR websites including our own Golden Gallery, but Youtube has also been valuable in this endeavour.

My intention is to post a new game in this thread every couple of days for anyone interested to rank the various versions and comment on.  The rankings are just to encourage a bit of engagement, so nothing strict; you are welcome to rank them all, or just your favourites and least favourites, and to include the US versions of the games in your rankings for comparison if you wish.

I might post a couple of games together where there are not many international versions of those games.

There are some versions of the games I couldn't find, so feel free as we go to add images of others that I don't have for the relevant game.  Where a country has had several iterations of a game, I've added an approximate year that each version would have existed to differentiate between them.

With all that said, here is the first game...

Any Number
https://imgur.com/iTBnz8e or see attachment.

Some initial comments: With this first game you'll quickly notice which TPIR versions are influenced by the various main template sets (e.g. the 'Bob-era' US set, 'Drew-era' US set, UK Bruce-era set, or the more recent French/international two storey sets). 

The new Argentina TPIR premiered at the start of February and appears to be the first to use just a plain big screen for Any Number rather than its own physical prop.  And if you look closely, the early Spanish versions were ahead of their time with a feature that others didn't adopt until years later...

I'll add my own rankings and further comments later on.

It seems as though the Indonesia and Thailand versions use the current Drew Carey routine (numbers on top, possibly crossed off as they are used, so as to provide a complete picture of the game situation), whereas the 70s Australian version was similar to that of the early years of the Barker game here.

This is *awesome.* My favorites might just be the Italy ones--before Italy started using the Euro, the exchange rate for Italian Lira to US Dollars was about 1800 to 1, so that's why you see all the extra 0's on their board. Thanks for putting this together!

The France set actually being a giant piggy bank is cute. I wouldn't necessarily like a set like that for the US version, but it certainly makes it unique from the others.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: SteveGavazzi on February 27, 2019, 06:54:16 PM
Brosa, this is a fantastic idea.  I love what you've done with the pictures, as well -- it'd be hard to think of a better way to compare the various sets.

Also, LiteBulb, it's great to see you around here again!

The 1985 picture of the Brazilian version really makes me wonder about the people producing it -- I mean, I guess there's technically no rule that the first number in the car can't be the 0, but it looks chintzy as all hell.

Italy and Spain, if I'm not mistaken, didn't use 0 at all, having just two digits in the piggy bank, although given how many zeros were already in every game pretty much by default (at least in Italy), that's kind of understandable.

Speaking of Spain, I'm sure it's really not, but that picture from 1990 makes it look like the Any Number board is built into the Turntable.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: brosa0 on February 28, 2019, 04:57:37 AM
That early Spanish version of the show is a sight to behold - there are some really peculiar design choices for all of the games and several others follow the 'built in' look of that second Any Number board.

The line of numbers on the Spanish '88 set displays numbers 1 to 0, but there are only 9 blank spaces to start the game.  When the turntable opens, the 0 is already blanked out so is not an option for the contestant to choose (I assume this is why 0 was removed from the second set).

The Indonesian prop amuses me.  They went to the effort of copying the US prop... and then just cut out a single big rectangle to dump a screen in.  Also an odd choice to capitalise some of the name.

The Mexican '99 prop is one of the ugliest I saw of any game in any series, with the big gaudy orange circles overwhelming the tiny board.  I always found the pink Australian prop to be gaudy too, but they made up for it by giving any piggy bank winners a literal piggy bank, similar to the ones held on the UK versions and the first playing of the US version.

My favourites would be the Chinese one (very stylish) and the first two French pigs (neat idea and that pig is adorable).
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: tpir04 on February 28, 2019, 02:51:27 PM
Very nice assortment, Brosa! Please provide more pricing games!

My favorites are the Finland (love the large digital readouts), the Mexico 99 (love the color) and the China sets.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: DRPrice on February 28, 2019, 07:39:40 PM
     My favorites are the 2001 France and Bruce's UK sets (also, the green numerals on Spain '88 are fairly nice).

     None of the others do much for me.  The worst are Mexico '99 (looks like it belongs on an SF or space-exploration show) and France '09 (looks like it belongs on Barney and Friends).

3 Strikes
https://imgur.com/KULazfB or see attachment.

A couple of notes:

- The Australian version's display was not electronic; the model uncovered the correct numbers and strikes as necessary.
- The bag for the Spanish version is attached to a green pole that was folded in against the prop; the model folded it out as the doors opened.
- The Russian version was played with all 6 numbers and 3 strikes in the bag.  The Mexican version gave the first number free and I think only had one strike in the bag.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: LiteBulb88 on March 02, 2019, 06:01:32 AM
Again, great work. I can't believe how cheap some of these prizes are--3 digits in the UK Leslie case! I can't picture 3 Strikes being played for anything less than a car, and given how hard it is to win, luxury cars feel right. But that's just me as an American, of course.

Also, LiteBulb, it's great to see you around here again!

Thanks, Steve! I attended a couple of tapings recently (I'll report on those when they air) so I figured I'd check out what was happening here. I saw this thread and had to post.

Again, fantastic work! Favorites include the two Netherlands and the Spain '90 sets. Honorable mention goes to the Mexico 2010 set for the visible baseball on the prop.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: DRPrice on March 02, 2019, 12:44:44 PM
     My favorite is probably the Mexican set, although the numbers could be brighter and the space between the first and second strike lights is a distraction.  But actually, I also like the Australian one quite a bit: sleek, clean and pleasant red color, although it could be a bit taller and the strike lights larger.

     The worst, by quite a distance, is the Portuguese set: a completely befuddled, headache-inducing mess.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JayC on March 02, 2019, 04:30:39 PM
The American versions of the game definitely have a much better looking set. The Mexico '10 set is the only one I would say even holds a candle to it.

The Brazil version just has a way too small price display and it's very minimalist. Russia's looks like a mix of the Joker set with the Dawson Family Feud face-off podium in the middle and the France '09 set looks like a UFO landed outside a theatre at night.

I think the France 88 vane display is kinda neat too.  Also the AUS 2012 version just seems so......cheap.

One fun comparison is how the sets look compared to the American counterpart.  Any Number basically is the same styled prop (based on the year), but since baseball isn't all that common around the world, 3 Strikes looks way different.

Punch-A-Bunch
https://imgur.com/JLwVjc2 or see attachment

- We get a look here at Moldova's version of The Price Is Right, one of the more unique series.  It perhaps has the cheapest, smallest overall set of any version and the Punchboard is used for their bonus round at the end of the show.  The TPIR theme is also looped in the background of the entire show.
- The Australian version of the game was called 'Wonder Wall'
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JayC on March 06, 2019, 10:59:30 PM
Most of these sets look at least somewhat similar to the US versions, with Indonesia's being nearly a carbon copy of the 2nd version of our Punch a Bunch set. Spain's set being circular is certainly different. The Netherlands '00s set makes me think of a mix of Pick a Pair and our original Punch a Bunch set.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World

And it seems that the one from Down Under in 2012 had far fewer holes than ours does here: only 24, as compared to our 50.

I'd want to be a contestant on the Moldova TPIR. Much easier to win top prize! 1988 Spain certainly broke the mold with their circular gameboard. The 1988 France is actually quite bland; it leaves much to be desired. Leslie's UK with the bubble letters is fairly nice. The 1999 Mexico set has some very funky letters.

Well done, Brosa! (I think it goes without saying from now on.)  ;)

     In other words, Moldova would be the PiR from Hell and make the current Drew Price look like game-show gold.

Danger Price:
    -Netherlands 2000...don't even know where to start.
    -Italy (both versions)...whenever I see "La Trappola" I think of "La Crapola". I guess that's what you say when you pick the Danger Price.  :-)

Take Two:
     -The 1992 France set looks like a jukebox. Somehow that's dangerous?
     -I like what Pakistan and UK Joe did with their sets. And...ACTION!  :-D

Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: SamJ93 on March 09, 2019, 11:53:08 AM
From what I recall when the Dutch version was first discussed here (back in '03 or so), the general theme of the show was "kitschy American culture." So Spongebob, while still very random, fits in that context.

In general, it seems like many foreign versions try to distract from their tiny prize budgets by making it more of a comedy/variety show...
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: SteveGavazzi on March 09, 2019, 02:32:52 PM
Italy's original Danger Price board always bothered me...I don't understand how someone could design a set that involved a price flap covering up part of the logo.

On the other hand, I do find their second board interesting.  It's neat to see how the first board could have evolved if they'd simply revamped it instead of creating the second set.

On a totally unrelated note, please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks of Street Fighter II when they see the prize labels from the Netherlands.

The Netherlands Danger Price set makes me think of the SpongeBob ice cream bars that ice cream trucks sell. What's with the Italy set? It looks like one of those handheld guide the marble through the maze games.

Interesting that Pakistan and UK Joe used a film theme for Take Two. Was the game logo in the background of the UK Joe set animated like the beginning of a film strip? France went from a giant jukebox to an ATM/slot machine hybrid.

The Netherlands '90 version had some bizarre colour combinations going on in general.  Danger Price is one of the few games without bright yellow on it.  It's neat seeing their '87 version of Take Two being played on the turntable though.

I wish I could say Australia's 2012 Take Two was the worst pricing game prop it had, what with its ridiculous oversized red oval to 'hide' the display screen and ugly font on the tags, but there are several others that are just as bad.

It's fascinating when going through these how exact the Thailand versions are, as if they have just shipped the props overseas from Los Angeles.

I love seeing how the Indonesia and Thailand series copy the US designs so much, but have subtle variations to how they've been built that make them look different enough to each other.  In some cases the Indonesian game looks better than the Thai one as a result, while its vice versa for other games.

The same font that's used on That '70s Show I believe, and sure, it's very out of style these days.

It seems like UK Joe and Pakistan are operated by the same division, and speaking of cartoon characters, I like UK Joe's Danger Price set in particular because it reminds me of Danger Mouse.

To add to the post above, the game I included from the Spanish '88 for Grand Game requires the contestant to select three prizes that are below the target price indicated, which is why I included it here. 

There was another game that uses the cash building mechanism of Grand Game, but the contestant has to get a series of True/False small prize guesses correct to progress through the game.  Probably should've included it too, so below is an image of that game.

Certainly an interesting mix amongst the Grand Game sets. Besides Thailand, Indonesia, Egypt and Mexico 99 have the set closest to ours. The France Grand Game set certainly went through several changes overtime, none of them particularly good looking. Mexico 10's looks like some odd hybrid of Super Saver with More or Less's color scheme. Columbia's makes me think of the Plinko sign.

Not a lot of variation in Dice Game around the world except for the Spanish roulette wheel. Also in the Italy version, it looks like the second to last digit is a 7, so they might have used the larger 1-9 range too.

Let 'em Roll...I am *loving* the huge dice and ramps in the China & France '09 versions. I hope they use some sort of overhead camera to show the result--that would show a unique view of the stage floor as well as make the result clear.

What are the US dollar equivalents of those amounts in Columbia's Pay the Rent?

The Netherlands Dice Game set is really cool, otherwise not much to write home about in the sets. I wonder why they replaced the dice wheel a roulette wheel in Spain. Unless they have a way to make the wheel not spin more than like 4-5 revolutions at a time it probably increases the time it takes to play the game by a lot, while also making it much harder.

Most of the Let em Roll sets are like our original set, but then you have China and France which have a huge slide and the dice roll onto the floor of the set. That would be something interesting to see on our version maybe for April Fools if they did a giant set theme.

Haven't posted since Danger Price/Take Two so this post will be a tad longer than usual.  :biggrin:

Grand Game:
     -I like the color scheme for the 1985 Brazil prop. A strong use of primary colors.
     -My other favorites are the Spain 1988 and France 2009 (but only if the zeroes are placed by hand, a la 2010 Mexico.

Pay the Rent:
     -Well, not much to say except for the Colombian version. I like that they styled it in the form of two apartment buildings.

Dice Game:
     -1980s Australia and UK Leslie have nice sets. Simple, and that's what makes them stand out.
     -A shout-out to 1988 Spain for having a wheel instead of dice. I would've enlarged it and separated it from the main prop.
     -Vietnam's translation of Dice Game is "Xuc Xac"? No comment.

Let 'em Roll:
     -China and 2009 France deserve mega-kudos for their HUGE ramps. I'd love to roll dice down one of those! I can only imagine how long it would take to play.

A few sidenotes:
     -The 2017 Portugal stage looks much better than the 1991 set. I kind of like white but that is ridiculous.
     -Whatever the backdrop for the 2010 Mexico turntable is, I like it. (It's visible in the Grand Game collage.)

I really like the look of the Dutch Dice Game. 

The tiny ramps for some of the Let Em Roll games (Russia, Argentina) were pretty pathetic.

Going back to Pay The Rent, I find it a little amusing that the UK pilot in 2017 went to the trouble of building a huge physical PTR set, only for the show not to be picked up.

Interesting to see that the UK version of Lucky 7 uses the windshield of the car as the prop for playing the game.

I'd be interested to read specifics of how each game is played in the context of the those countries where the prices contain many more digits.

The French version of Cover Up has an odd, circuit board appearance to it.  I'm not sure I like it.

Lucky 7: I wonder how many numbers are given for free in the countries with 6+ digit prices, like Colombia and the 90s Italy versions. I sure hope it's not 0  :-o.

Cover Up: I agree about not liking the France version--that's way too busy and confusing, and it's hard to see which numbers correspond to which spot. I find it interesting that 0 is an option for the first number in the Italy '00 version.

Thanks for posting Lucky Seven. I would've requested it, but I didn't want this topic banned for any amount of time.

Lucky Seven:
     -Colombian Lucky Seven should be Lucky Thirteen. There's no way you could win with 7 $1 bills.
     -France 2009 is designed like an old-fashioned coin purse. Hmm. Interesting.
     -The third 1990s Italy prop makes me think of a Visa Credit Card.

Also, regardless of what I said in my previous post, I am quite fond of the neon around the Big Doors in the 1991 Portugal stage.

Cover Up: None of these really appeal to me. Frankly, I prefer our version to any of them. But if I had to pick, I'd say the 2000s Italy prop is the best out of those presented here.

What in the world is going on with Spain's Lucky Seven board?

Interesting that France's version of the game started off as, effectively, Lucky Ten.

In Mexico's Cover Up, did the contestant automatically get a free second turn for placing that first number correctly? Conversely, did France's version add a digit in each position, or was one number immediately taken from each section to create the opening "wrong" price?

Fun fact:  Even though Atinale al Precio's sets were more or less functionally identical to ours, they played Lucky $even in Door #1.

I never thought I'd say this about anything, but Israel's gigantic wall of a Lucky $even board looks like it was inspired by Shower Game.

Scott:  As far as I can tell, Atinale al Precio's rules for Cover Up are exactly the same as ours, so yes, there's an automatic second turn.

Given that their Lucky Seven was in Door #1, and that the car was sitting on stage, did they push the car out from Door #3 or something?

For Mexico, the host (Marco) places the first number in the first slot during the explanation as an example of what to do with the rest, so the contestant has to get at least one of the last 5 correct to continue.

For the French version, one number from each section was already used in the opening 'wrong' price.   You'll notice the first set of numbers has 0 as an option, which was actually a legitimate and correct option for the first number in the price in one of the playings I saw.   Also, the French version is a touch screen that is less responsive than the early Double Cross screen, so it is pretty tedious to watch.  The contestant has to drag the wrong numbers back to their respective sets before dragging their new guessed number back to the middle.   This creates the problem of the contestant potentially forgetting which wrong numbers they've already tried.

For Colombia, they are given 12 notes but have to guess all 8 numbers.   And as you can see from the example, the prices are pretty evil regardless of how many they are given.

First up, 2 of the ABC version's games: Any Number, not played for a car, and the Money Game. Then, here's It's in the Bag of the 2011 revival, which is played for Php 80,000, or in some occasions, Php 120,000, and a rather small Easy as 1 2 3 (it's because of the small set, you know.)

Gah! That's worse than the US edition. In the US, you can be off by an average of 1.5 numbers per guess (maximum 6 total numbers off in 4 guesses). In the Colombian edition, you can only be off by an average of 1.375 numbers per guess (11 numbers off in 8 guesses.) Plus 0's all over the place in the price! I hope Mike Richards isn't reading this thread...he doesn't need ideas about how to make Lucky 7 harder  :-o.

Most of the Lucky $even sets look like low budget versions of our game set. The UK Bruce and Joe presentation on the windshield of the car is pretty cool though. What on earth is going on in the Spain 88 set? It looks like some kind of complex math equation being performed.

The French Cover Up sets are quite...interesting. They look like circuits or the inside of a computer chip. The Australia set makes me think of our Buy or Sell set.

     The Spain '88 Lucky Seven looks like they're playing baseball.

     Going back a bit, the Vietnam '12 Grand Game is by far the ugliest of them, with its ugly number font and vomit-colored background.

     I personally feel the giant Chinese and French Let 'em Roll slides are overkill;  this is one instance in which the US set strikes just the right balance.

Couple vids to add to this for the 80's Aussie run just for future reference (Original that is, two of the few actual clips of it on YT, I think the only two that feature a pricing game played too at that), one is a Range Game playing (with a $50 range and an EVIL setup to boot), the other is a Grocery Game playing although it cuts off before it finishes (was gonna be a loss though by looks of it). Interesting note to that one is that at least for that era, they went by the same rules as here, with a $6.75 to $7.00 win range.

On Lucky Seven, I grew up with the Australian 90's series so only ever knew it as One Dollar Deal.  In hindsight it seems an odd name change (although it still fits the game), particularly when the previous series in 1989 had it as Lucky Seven.  Never liked the game as it felt too hard having to guess 5 numbers with just 7 dollars, plus the prop was a bit dinky.  The flip panels for the numbers were neat through.

I find the weird angle the Indonesian L7 is on to be amusing.  It's like they accidentally made it too long.

On Cover Up, again I never liked the Australian version due to the colour scheme and the weird extra bit to the right of the 5th column of numbers.   It's interesting to see that Russia did away with the starting wrong numbers.

What's up with the barrels on the side of the France 09 and Portugal Range Game sets? I assume the contestant was allowed to move the range up and down like the number in Magic # can be adjusted up or down?

Don't really get the buried treasure theme in Columbia's Flip Flop, but the sun and moon theme in Mexico's Flip Flop is neat.

Looks like Mexico is the only country that kept the photo theme that our Freeze Frame set has. The other ones have a carnival vibe to them, especially Russia.

Mostly boring or odd Double Prices sets, a few are very close to what ours looks like and most aren't super different.

The Side by Side sets aren't that different from our's. Columbia's looks quite interesting glowing like that. Quite mean setups in the Australia and Portugal pictures. Were the Pakistan and UK Leslie versions two-prize games, with the idea to choose the two out of the five prices for the prizes?

Thanks, you are correct.   I actually love the Mexico 2010 Double Prices.   DP is the one game that international series should be able to add their own personality and theme to due to how simple it is, and Mexico does this the best (although it does kind of look like a head with eyes and mouth).   

As with One Dollar Deal/Lucky Seven, I only ever knew DP as "2 Price Tags" growing up from the Australian series.  Never liked seeing it show up, although in hindsight it is neat seeing it played on the turntable.

Agreed that is odd, especially when other games on the Pakistan series are based on the Joe Pasquale 2007-era games.  They must have built the prop from scratch too, so it's not like they just took the existing UK one out of storage.

It has me wondering though... in a world where the game was introduced to the US show, what would a good alternative name for it be?

UK had strict prize limits on all their game shows till the mid 90's, so this was par for the course for them back then. The Showcases was all that had any bigger prizes. Blankety Blank (Match Game) was played for a check book and pen at this time for same reason.

Going back to Range Game:
     -Italy 1990s probably has the best set only because it's diagonal.
Flip Flop:
     -It's easy to see which games are cut from the US cloth. Ausralia 2005 has a different color scheme but it is otherwise exactly the same.

Freeze Frame:
     -I guess the best is Netherlands 2000. Otherwise there's not much to see here.

Double Prices:
     -My top three, starting with #1: Australia 1990s, Colombia, Italy 2000s. Also interesting how 2010 Mexico chose a fruit theme.

One Away:
     -Lots to see here. I would have to prefer the Australia 2005 set over the others. I like the 1990s set also, maybe more so, but it's more or less a case of blue overload. And what is the problem with 1999 Argentina and their *huge* sets?

Line em Up:
     -Neat how China styled it with a puzzle piece. Those may very well be my favorites.

Split Decision:
     -Intersting how Russia picked up the game after the US version retired it. Also, maybe a coincidence, but the four numbers that have been pulled down represent the year that the US version was retired! I'd have to prefer UK Bruce over Russia set, though.

2 for the Price of 1
     -The Italy set is the best, and notice the hidden arrow in the set. I like all of the sets, so it's hard to rank them, but Australia 1990s ranks above the 1999 Mexico set.

On a sidenote: In the Range Game picture from 2000s Netherlands, is it just me, or are the contestant and model children? The reason I ask is that in the One Away pic, the contestant and model look like grown adults. Brosa, can you give any insight on the episode? Was it a children's week or something?

One Away: I had to squint to see Argentina's set. Spain's has a weird set. Was Slovakia's played for a 3 digit prize where the cents (or equivalent there) were priced also?

Line em Up: I like the blue lights in Australia's set. China's puzzle motif isn't bad, but it looks kinda odd.

Split Decision: Surprised that any other version tried it since the game didn't last too long on our show.

2 for the Price of 1: Looks like Mexico's pricing portion uses a 4-digit prize.

What the heck is up with the amounts on the German versions? Surely they weren't playing for 0-3 Deutschmarks/Euros a chip...

Also, I'd be interested to see how many other versions played Plinko like the UK did--where after accumulating cash, they must decide to either keep it or risk it on one last chip for a bonus prize (with the slots changed over to alternating WIN/LOSS).
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World

Definitely a lot of variation with the color schemes and sizes. For the countries that don't use Plinko as the name it would be interesting to see how they decided on the name. It seems like Spain 88's set has a lot more space between the spikes than there should be. France's sets look totally different from one to the next, the second makes me think of an inflatable raft. Estonia's set looks really small.

German Plinko was a three-prize game instead of a cash game -- you won each prize whose number got hit by at least one chip.

It looks like the '90s Netherlands version did something similar, although with both more prizes and more zeros.

It tells you the international influence of Plinko, but man, I'd love to see a foreign version that never did Plinko. Very unlikely though.

I noticed there was no shot of the game from the 80's UK version...it seems plausible that they never did it due to the strict regulations at the time. (They were also forced to stop using the Big Wheel for their Showcase Showdown because it was deemed too luck-based.)

What I like about this thread (and huge props) is that we're seeing how other countries interpret the games from the show. It doesn't make them wrong, but it's cool to see how they're influenced by the different versions of the show around the world or their own individual styles.

Post by: tpir04 on March 31, 2019, 10:05:18 PM
First off, I really like Spain's One Away. It is interesting how the numbers are revealed separately, each with its own compartment.

Now then, I have a lot to say regarding Plinko. First and foremost, Brosa, I thought you would save Plinko for last! Now the only one I can think of would be Golden Road, but only time will tell. Secondly, it is evident which sets are copied from the US prop, with the stripes on the sides. Also it is interesting to note how many hosts are up on top with the contestants.
     
Now for the intricacies:
     -Were there steps on the back of the Argentine prop?
     -Zig Zag is an interesting name for the Belgian Plinko as it is essentially what Plinko is.
     -I don't know what it is but I really like the look of the Colombian version. Maybe it's the simple but neat lowercase letters.
     -The 2001 France paint job makes the set look more like a pinball machine than anything else.
     -What were they trying to accomplish with the 2009 France design? At least straighten the set. Then maybe it won't look as bad.
     - I find it funny how Germany has this big set and the pegboard itself is so small.
     -Greece: There is a problem when the game board is only six feet tall. The color scheme is a favorite of mine, though.
     -Once again, the Indonesian prop is most accurate to the US set. But why put the tray so high?
     -Italy: It looks like the hostess is opening a door of some sort. Brosa, can you provide any insight on this?
     -Apparently, Mexico also had a Plinko turntable prop, at least until 1997.
     -The 2010 Mexico color scheme is another favorite of mine. Along with the set design, it looks more like a carnival theme than any other of the sets presented here.
     -The 1990s Netherlands picture is evidently from the children's episode. But other than that, I wonder why the pegboard is set so deep into the rest of the Plinko prop?
     - I'm not sure what to make of the 2000s Netherlands prop. Waaaay too much pink.
     -Pakistan copied from Bruce's UK set but I don't like either of them.
     -The Romanian Plinko has some long pegs. Brosa, was this played with balls instead of chips?
     - The Spain prop is an odd one. The board is longer than it is tall. The electronic scoreboard is neat, though.
     -The 2017 UK set is a neat one, with the fantastic shade of red and the different size circles.
     -Vietnam: So Dice Game is "Xuc Xac" and Plinko is "Zic Zac"? I'm sorry, but I can't help but smile.

     -Were there steps on the back of the Argentine prop?
Yes, steps behind the prop.  They actually do a bit of a drumroll buildup for the contestant climbing up and appearing at the top of the board.

Quote
     -The 2001 France paint job makes the set look more like a pinball machine than anything else.
It's funny you mention that, given that the French 2009-2015 series literally introduced a pinball version of Plinko called Le Flipper:

     -What were they trying to accomplish with the 2009 France design? At least straighten the set. Then maybe it won't look as bad.
It certainly had its problems:
(https://i.imgur.com/7m2xXGA.gif)

Two bonus images of the board from the contestant's perspective, and the host literally climbing to the top to dislodge a chip that was stuck.
(https://i.imgur.com/gxDVIfP.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/cQb5i6x.jpg)

Quote
     -Italy: It looks like the hostess is opening a door of some sort. Brosa, can you provide any insight on this?
In this version, the middle is a 0. However, if the contestant won at least 2 million lire and still had at least one chip remaining, the 0 space became an "AUTO" space to win a car.  To win the car, they'd have to give up any cash and hope the chip landed in the AUTO space, otherwise they'd lose everything.

Also, here is Italy's version from the early 90s which I missed:

Nice pickup!

Quote
     -The Romanian Plinko has some long pegs. Brosa, was this played with balls instead of chips?
I only found a couple promo shots of the Romanian series (Plinko is the only game I have of theirs), but given how similar it is to the French 09 series I'm guessing they used chips (balls would surely bounce off the curved part?)

Post by: tpir04 on April 01, 2019, 08:43:56 AM
First, I like the Italian Plinko since it appears that it is painted in a shiny silver color. Second, France really needs to take some advice from Mike Richards on how to run a show. "Yes ladies and gentlemen, why don't we watch our host climb to the top of this thing to retrieve a chip? That should waste enough airtime." Didn't they have a lucky Plinko stick as Bob did? And finally, while it's fresh in our minds, can you give us a rundown on how Le Flipper was played?

Post by: brosa0 on April 03, 2019, 07:56:00 AM
And finally, while it's fresh in our minds, can you give us a rundown on how Le Flipper was played?

The French 09 series was the first of the new 'international' format of the show pushed by FremantleMedia, with the two-storey set, wild camera pans and looser format that allowed for more 'variety show' segments among the pricing gameplay to stretch the show out to an hour without having to add in extra pricing games (thus keeping the prize budget in check).   They had quite a few games with a basic fee game pricing portion to earn extra chances or time in some unique, non-pricing related parts.  I will post these some time in the future.

Le Flipper's pricing portion is the same as Plinko's, except that they earn extra pinballs to play with rather than chips.  The host controls the left flipper (the table is giant), the contestant controls the right flipper and plunger, and their aim is to get the ball to land in the "jackpot space" in the centre of the red circle above the flippers to win a big prize.   Otherwise, once the ball drops below the flippers (which happens fairly quickly as they are high up the table) they fall into cash amounts that the contestant wins, similar to Plinko.

-Egypt's looks like our set but a bit smaller.
-The Thailand set is pretty sleek, I wouldn't mind it as an updated version of our set.

The 80s Australian version has some awful colour coordination all around with the games.   I really liked the 90s and 00s design, although it was difficult to see the items. 

We also see another example here of the Indonesia and Thailand series both copying the general look of the US Check-Out, but with slightly different variations.  The Indonesian one probably comes out on top here.

The muted colour scheme of the '87 Netherlands series is really apparent here when comparing their Check-Out to most of the others.

Check-Out:
     -France 2001: Yeah...no. The individual podium thing is fine but straighten them out, at least!

You know what the weirdest thing to me about the 80's Aussie show is? That for the entirety of its' run it was titled "The New Price is Right", seems really odd to call it that after say 4 years on air for example. Price here only did it the first year by comparison.

Switcheroo: in the Belgian version, it looks like the blocks are to the far left of the set, meaning the contestant has to run back with the blocks to the main part of the prop. Not sure I'm a fan of that.

Pathfinder: In the Indonesia version, is the contestant really starting somewhere other than the center spot?? It feels weird in the Russian version to not have the contestant on a raised platform. And I do love the overhead view of the France '15 version.

While the Switcheroo sets have a ton of differences between them and some it's hard to tell what game it's supposed to be, the Pathfinder sets keep the same core look just with some size and color variations and some other alterations. Germany's is the only one that could be mistaken for something else. Thailand's looks like the US set if it was shrunk in the dryer. The Russian set looks like it was designed by kindergartners. The UK Bruce set makes me think of that board game Perfection.

I never really liked the head-on jib shot they use nowadays (like the Indonesia screengrab), I always preferred the angled version Bart Eskander would use (like the Australia screengrab). I get that the head-on version shows the numbers better but putting the camera too far above the set makes the game look smaller and less impressive, and I always preferred the shots where the cam was closer to the contestant's eye level.

But if they did something really neat like a direct overhead shot on the French version, I bet I would change my tune real quickly.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: tpir04 on April 10, 2019, 05:41:59 PM
Switcheroo:
     -I like Belgium's idea of having the number further away from the prices. That way, it's a toned down version of Race Game.
     -The chalkboard motif in Bulgaria and 2012 France is cool but it looks too old-school.
     -Odd how Colombia puts the number blocks way at the bottom.
     -1996 and 2001 France remind me of a radio. Maybe that's the point? And maybe it's just me, but 2009 looks like a microwave.
     -Once again, Indonesia gets the award for most similar to US set. I do prefer this timer to ours, though.
     -I would pick the 1999 Italian set over the other two because of all the open space. The letters and the board are both separate instead of on the same prop.
     -Netherlands went through some wacky changes, and for what reason? The brown and green scheme is great because it matches the turntable. I suppose you could say the same for 1990, but there's a lot of yellow there. They finally end up with some sort of...I don't know what. The 1987 prop is best.
     -UK Leslie has an ok prop. It's not exactly bad, but not the best. The heart-shaped board and color and the cursive writing make it look like it belongs on The Dating Game or some other such thing.

Pathfinder:
     -Top three are, from third, 2000s Italy, Germany, Russia. UK Bruce is enormous and 1998 Italy is tiny. Also interesting how many versions start on a square other than the center and that the center is blank. Perhaps there is a bit of an advantage for the eight squares touching the center, in those cases where the center is blank.

(By the way, 1989 Australia has the best turntable design I've seen thus far. The textured dollar sign background make it stand out. Nice!)

Penny Ante without the giant lights looks BLAND. I probably shouldn't pass judgement on their games without seeing the way they've played, but I'm so grateful for our crazy set.

It appears that the German Now Or Then isn't about past prices, but a simple game of true or false, since the name's translation means "Wrong or right".

The English translation from the Italian name for Hi-Lo literally comes out to that of another game, "More or Less". "Alto o Basso" would have been more appropriate.

You must have gotten only one chance in the UK Joe version of Pick-a-Pair I'd assume with just four products. Also, what's with the music theme on the French P-A-P?

Unless the game is set up differently, where there is actually only one pair out of the four items.  If that is the case, you could still have two turns, as if the first two didn't match, you wouldn't know if one of the first two matched one of the unseen two, or if the two unseen ones matched each other.

That would make the play of the game much more like Take Two, the only difference being you need two with the same price, not two that add up to a set amount.

Hi Lo: It looks like a few countries used a scale motif for their set which I'm not sure fits the game too much. Most of the sets are just too busy looking also. UK Joe's set looks like it was taken out of the wild west.

Pick a Pair: Looks like Germany and Italy were the only ones that had the game while we had the ferris wheel set. France's using a music motif is interesting. It appears Pick a Pair was a SP game for UK Leslie and Bruce.

Now or Then: Surprised more countries haven't played it since it's been around for a while. Was Columbia trying to hypnotize contestants playing it? Germany's and Moldova's (that's an early Then date) looks like the set is just pasted onto the turntable wall.

Bullseye: Also surprised to not see more Bullseye. Every set looks just about exactly like ours.

Penny Ante: Looks like it was a SP game in the UK.

Hit Me: So only Italy played it and they called it Blackjack. The second set is pretty nice. Was it not used much internationally because of the gambling inspiration or because of the gameplay?

Super Saver: Only in Italy also and it was still played after we stopped playing it. The color scheme is the real difference from our set.

Vend o Price: Does the Thailand version have similar sound effects and the doors opening to reveal the product quantity like ours?

Now or Then: Surprised more countries haven't played it since it's been around for a while.

It appears to have been played on Atinale al Precio, too...Marco Antonio Regil used to have a whole bunch of pictures from the show on his website, and even though it wasn't labeled, one of them was pretty clearly and Now....and Then board.  It was apparently played in the first season of Italy's show, too, although I've never seen pictures of it.

Hi-Lo:
     -I like how the platforms are staggered in Argentina 1999.
     -Bulgaria and 2009 France very look like bathroom scales. Except in that aspect, you'd want "Lo", not "Hi".  :-D
     -Odd color combos for 2001 France. The grayscale background and the vivid primary colors of the grocery ledge just doesn't look right.
     -Love the cylindrical shapes in 1990 Netherlands, don't know why.
     -Props to UK Joe for the cash register motif.

Pick a Pair:
     -Love the font for the 1999 Argentine set.
     -Very minimalist on Aussie 2012.
     -2009 France has an odd music motif. Brosa, is there something in the gameplay or reveal that might explain this? Or perhaps this another way of the producers showing their *intelligence*.
     -I like the look of 1980s Italy.
     -What is going on with UK Leslie and Bruce?

Now or Then:
     -What is the lady reading in 2007 China? Very nice colors, nonetheless.
     -Colombian Now or Then is an optical illusion.
     -Pretty sad to see Moldova thinks 2014 is "Then". Unless that's the earliest they have on record, or something like that.

Bullseye:
     -Not much change in the sets, obviously. Intersting change of pace in 1980s Australia with a blue arrow instead of green. Brosa, did any of these have a hidden bullseye?

Penny Ante:
     -Love both sets, and what a difference in sizes! I tend to like Brazil more than UK. I'm guessing only half the UK set is shown here?

Hit Me:
     -Not playing favorites here, as both are excellent. But including the US version, I'd say it tops these.

Super Saver:
     -Italy 1999 has the better of the two. As I've said before, I prefer a strong representation of primary colors. But the red is missing. I'll print out a picture of it and color in the red.  :-)

It appears that the German Now Or Then isn't about past prices, but a simple game of true or false, since the name's translation means "Wrong or right".

Steve has brought to my attention an archived site with plenty of info and images of the German version.

Germany played Now Or Then, but later changed it to a True/False game using the same the prop.

German versions of games that I've already posted:

Also, regarding the French Pick A Pair's musical theme, here is the original 2009 prop design:
(https://i.imgur.com/wSagrHq.jpg)

It would appear its prop was originally designed like a big organ (the prices are revealed by the host stepping on the pedals at the bottom of it), and this musical theme carried over to its redesign with the music notes.

Bonus Game:

Not a whole lot of variation here, though I like that the word in Italian is "Jolly," as that's how you hopefully feel if you win it :).

Shell Game:

Colombia: For some reason, I like the idea of using cups, maybe because that's how I've seen it done at carnivals.

France '09: What?!?!

Joker:

France '09: I like the blackjack table look a lot, with the host acting as the "dealer". That's a much cooler way to show the cards than the set we had in the US. I presume the numbered chips were the possible prices of the small prizes?
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JayC on April 27, 2019, 05:33:19 PM
Bonus Game: I'm assuming other versions did the game as well that aren't pictured here since there's very little here. The Italian 99 version is the only one that did any real switch-up in the set.
Quote

Jolly can refer to a wild card or even a joker.

Shell Game: What on earth was France thinking with these sets? The first one isn't bad but definitely small, the second one has an odd logo but otherwise isn't bad, then there's some weird either bingo or lottery motif and then...cardboard boxes. Cats would love the France '10 set! Interesting that Vietnam '12's looks more like the original version of the US set.

Joker: Actually most of these I would say look better than the US set. It looks like France turned it into a larger-scale game in 09 and 15.

Fun fact:  The Italian name of Bonus Game is "Joker."

Speaking of Italy, I've always found it interesting that they played Shell Game with only three shells.  It's a small change, but it goes a ways toward differentiating it from Bonus Game.  (Italy also introduced Shell Game much, much later than Bonus Game -- Bonus was played from the beginning of the run, while Shell didn't debut until the second-last season -- so keeping them nearly identical at that stage would have been a little silly.)

I love how Thailand's Shell Game manages to look like both of our tables at the same time.

I love how Thailand's Shell Game manages to look like both of our tables at the same time.

Australia's to that end is almost identical to the original one here sans the orange colored circles (that almost blend into the turntable actually) vs the red ones we had. I know that version (and really the one before it in the early 70's) tended to copy things pretty close anyway, but this one stands out as one especially so.

Bonus Game:
     -Goodness gracious, these are all wonderful! Interesting to see that they all have the same layout, with the arrows and everything!
     -Australia certainly loves their oranges and yellows. Again, set is fine but not with the turntable color.
     -The rings on the bottom of 1992 Italy remind me of that old Caldor logo. Although I think Caldor had three rings. This set is my favorite of the five.
     -1996 Italy reminds me of Any Number, in some ways.
     -1999 Spain: What is that picture on the left? I don't dare guess. Anyway, color is cool; makes me think of the Caribbean.
     -Finally, let me just say that with their history, I wonder what kind of a train wreck 2009 France could conjure up.

Shell Game:
     -80s Aussie gets the award for best US replica.
     -In 1994 Canada I see the Sears wordmark on the set. Hey, Brosa, were they playing for a Sears gift card? If not, was Sears a show sponsor?
     -2009 France was obviously going for the abstract look. And I like it.
     -2010 France looks like a cardboard box motif. Perhaps they were going for the street-style three-card-monte look.
     -Our first game from NZ, and it reminds me of Line em Up.
     -Gee, I wonder if Slovakia used the same table for Shell Game and Grocery Game? Certainly looks like it.

Joker:
     -1994 France: I'd say she won, wouldn't you?
     -You know what? France 15 is THE best set I've seen, for any game of any foreign version. It's got glitz, it's got glamour, just like a casino should. Well done.
     -Here we go again, back to Netherlands concoctions. They must like zig zag lines or something, because that seems to be the dominant influence in their set design.
     -UK Joe: Joe the Joker is the name of the game. Give him a jester's hat, too.

Clock Game: Wow that's an interesting and strange mix of sets. Not sure I get Australia 03's castle motif. It looks like only a few tried to copy our original Clock Game set. Was Spain 88's set only that table with the timer?

Race Game: Mostly a mix of inspired by our set and a giant stopwatch rather than a jukebox. The racing motif for some of the French sets is nice.

Bonkers: Nothing super different from our set. Do the Chinese and Vietnamese names translate to bonkers?

Hmm yeah, I wonder why they haven't tried 5 digit bonkers. They would just have to tack on an extra number for the first digit of the car or another 5 digit prize and it's otherwise played normally.

Isn't anybody going to comment on how UK Leslie used the same set for Clock Game and Race Game? All you would need is a detachable Race Game sign and tape a Clock Game sign to the front and there you are! Anyway...

Clock Game:
     -Hmm...appears 1980 Brazil played it in front of the audience.
     -Germany's got a nice prop. Those lowercase letters are cool too.
     -Funny how Indonesia simply stuck a screen in the middle of their prop. I believe we saw that with Any Number, too.
     -I like the 1992 Italy prop. Just let me be. OK?
     -Sometimes 1988 Spain has some real doozies, other times their props are simple and minimalistic.
     -I've read in a few places that Time-Play wasn't exactly played like Clock Game. Brosa, can you give some insight?
     -The UK Bruce set looks like a wristwatch.

Race Game:
     -I can see a few similarities between NZ's Race Game and Shell Game.
   -Why the arrows on 1988 Spain? Perhaps it's to exemplify the fact that you need to GO, GO, GO!
     -Very interesting how Vietnam keeps their Big Wheel on one side of the stage. On that note, it looks very similar to ours, at least the one from 1989-2009(?)

Bonkers:
     -Netherlands 2000: Yes indeed, by all means, Hurry Up! But, yeah, the rest of the set looks like Swiss cheese.
     -Where are the paddles for UK Alan?

Time-Play was indeed different from Clock Game, which I'm under the impression it replaced at some point in the Crowther run.  The game was played with three prizes, and the clock didn't stop after the contestant got one right.

Also, I should point out that there isn't really a 2007 version of Der Preis Ist Heiss -- that picture of Race Game is actually from their Game Show Marathon.

Been meaning to ask, does Thailand have two hosts?

Yes, they do.  The youtube channel that hosts a lot of the Thailand episodes appears to be a fan's channel for the female host.

Clock Game: Not sure I get Australia 03's castle motif.

Do the Chinese and Vietnamese names translate to bonkers?

I always loved the castle motif of the Australian Clock Game (I'm guessing it alludes to a clock tower), except for the plain font used for the game's name which always seemed out of place.  Also, the clock is divided into 30 segments with one segment lighting up each second, so it wasn't a continuous countdown with fractions of a second possible like the American version.   Looking back on it, that Australian series made some interesting choices with its games, between the Clock Game prop and renaming Lucky Seven and Double Prices.

Pretty sure the Vietnamese name for Bonkers translates to 'Counting down'.

Clock Game:
     -Hmm...appears 1980 Brazil played it in front of the audience.
 
Bonkers:
     -Where are the paddles for UK Alan?

Yes I love Clock Game being played in the audience.  It's always fun to see the different staging of some of these versions.  It also appears that she is trying to price a grocery item.

The paddles are black like the dots, so are hard to see.  That said, that Bonkers prop from the Alan Carr pilot is one of my favourite international ones overall.

Here is the result of that Bonkers playing:

For both 5 Price Tags and Money Game for the most part the international versions didn't look to differ from ours too much. A couple went circular for the price displays in 5 Price Tags which makes it too small. I like the Italian versions using different colors for the podiums.

The French Money Game sets with the car motifs are pretty cool, although the French 09 board is definitely too small.

I always liked the Australian 5 Price Tags prop, particularly with it displaying the number of chances the contestant had earned (not to mention incorporating the game's name into the prop too).

Not sure I've mentioned it yet, but it drives me a little crazy how tight an angle Egypt's wideshots of their games are, to the point of struggling to see the game elements on some of them until they cut to a different shot.

I like the Money Game props that try something different to the US version.  Even the paint job on Indonesia's version looks fresher and more pleasant to look at than the current US one.

Five Price Tags:
     -Argentina 1999: Do the contestants call the prices by the numbers?
     -Australia 2005 is a great prop. The lights on the sides are a nice touch.
     -Of all the Italian props, 1999 is my favorite. Interesting how they put the prices into a `5'.
     -The curved prop on 2010 Mexico is different than the rest.
     -Brosa, in 1987 Netherlands, do the Dutch keep their Big Wheel on the stage all the time? As for 5PT, 1990 is the better of the two.
     -Anybody else think that 2018 Portugal prop looks like a gumball machine?

Money Game:
     -Nice variations on colors and shapes here.
     -Brosa, does Argentina offer the wrong picks as a consolation prize? If so, what good is 00 in the money column?
     -Whereas the rest of the circular props have square number cards, it appears that Australia has circular numbers also. Are they hanging on little nails?
     -The French car props are certainly a change of pace.
     -2000 Netherlands is probably the only sensible prop we've seen so far.
     -UK Leslie: Oh dear. If I was Leslie, what should I say? Congrats, you've won $19. Not exactly a focal point of the show. But I think the prop is nice. The colors are just right. Looks like UK Bob had three money slots, instead of four.
     
Ten Chances:
     -Did 2009 France move the wheel mechanically or manually?
     -Do the Italians have a purpose for the light stripes on the bottom or are they just for show?
     -Interesting how the Netherlands and UK Bob props count down from 10 instead of up from 1.
     -Hey Brosa, did 1988 Spain use trilons for their numbers?
     -There's a vane display on the bottom of 1989 Spain. What's that for?
     -Always like UK Leslie's props. This is no exception.

Temptation:
     -1980s Australia, once again, blends their prop into the turntable. Same with Grocery Game, I believe.
     -2001 France is reminiscent of their Check-Out game. I think they like those zany shapes a bit too much.
     -Wonder what the story is with Italy's "color pyramid"?
     -How do the Mexicans play Temptation? I would think it would be harder with six digits and not five.
     -If possible, can you do a GIF of the host revealing the price on 1988 Spain's Temptation, like you did with One Away? I'd like to see how the numbers are revealed.
     -UK Leslie's got a fantastic prop, mainly because of the number font. It's similar to the Money Game font.

I can't answer that question, but it should be noted that our Money Game has used 00 as well...and it has been wrong.

How do the Mexicans play Temptation? I would think it would be harder with six digits and not five.

Surprisingly, it's functionally identical to the U.S. -- the first two numbers are revealed at the start of the game, and even though the prices of the gifts can be anything, they still have two digits highlighted as choices for the price of the car.

     -US set is my favorite. None of these quite top it, although Indonesia comes very close.

Hole in One:
     -Brosa, can you give us a background on the windmill on Argentina 19? Was it always like that or a gimmick like we did for Best of 2017(?)
     -Brazil has to have one of the blandest sets I have ever seen. No colors, lines, anything. Ah well.
     -Does 2015 France have various obstacles, or just the loop? And, should I get the ball around the loop, is there a bonus of some sort?
     -Love Germany's split-screen. Nice to have a close-up of the hole.
     -Nothing to say about Israel, but take a gander at that set! Very appealing. And that's a giant wheel, too!
     -The Dutch put in some obstacles, too, huh? Tricky...
     -Is the Vietnam set on an incline? Perhaps it's an illusion.
 
On the Nose:
     -Haha, On the Nose, so they put up a drawing of the host. Not exactly fond of that approach, though. Award goes to 2001 France for a generic, yet very colorful, target.
     -Not sure I get Italy's space theme. Maybe it's just to be different.

Superball!:
     -I like 1999 France prop, but not any more than the US set. The Italian set is similar, but it seems too low to the ground.

Barker's Markers: Interesting that the two sets look very similar even though they're not the same country. Eligeme means pick me in Spanish.

Credit Card: Interesting variation of sets. The France 01 set makes me think of something out of The Jetsons.

Fortune Hunter: Pretty cramped space.

Shopping Spree: Odd to see the price reveals underneath the prizes on large boards like that. Another pretty much carbon copy from Indonesia.

Step Up: Trippy.

Hole in One: The windmill in Argentina and the circular thing in France 09 certainly add a miniature golf course vibe. The ones with the golf course backdrops and the GP podiums in France 09 and 15 and Netherlands 12 are pretty neat. The game logo in Thailand seems like its really far away from the putting green.

One the Nose: Surprised there's as many as there are. Estonia's, Portugal's, and UK Joe's are kinda creepy.

Superball: France's is pretty weird. I actually like the look of Italy's, it would look even better if it used our version's color scheme.

     -Mexico (2) gets best award for most looking like an ATM. Wonder what the deal is with the logo on the bottom.

It's the logo of a bank, so I'd imagine it was a show sponsorship arrangement (hence the change in colour from the original blue too).

Hole in One:
     -Brosa, can you give us a background on the windmill on Argentina 19?

Pretty sure it's there for every playing.  On one playing I saw, the ball hit one of the windmill's blades as it went in front of the hole, but the ball still went in.

Quote
     -Does 2015 France have various obstacles, or just the loop? And, should I get the ball around the loop, is there a bonus of some sort?

Just the loop, and no bonus.

I love the theme for Spain 06's and UK Joe's Push Over.

The Australian Push Over is played differently from ours. You either push left or right to knock over one of the blocks on the end. It's actually a pretty neat concept.

What can I say? I love me some Push Over!  :-)

A bit of OT observation...one of the prizes offered in the French-Canadian Golden Road was a trip to Cuba. With US-Cuba relations being normalized, I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen a Cuba trip on our version yet, especially considering Wheel Of Fortune has offered them several times in the past couple years.

Could the set for Squeeze Play '12 in Australia be any more boring and bland?
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: tpir04 on June 04, 2019, 07:26:16 PM
Add em' Up:
     -Looks like Spain gave the 1990 game a paint job in 1992. I cast my vote for the 1988 set for not just being a rectangle, like the other two sets. Second place goes to 1992 for a very colorful appearance, followed by the 1990 set, although the 1990 prop does have that neat title set in Brush Script cursive.

Golden Road:
     -I really thought you would save this one for last, as it is the namesake of our site.
     -Anyway, it appears that many (well, exactly half) of these used the original set design, instead of the rainbow "jukebox" style.
     -Argentina is okay, but I wish they put more dots on the floor to make up the "road".
     -I like China's price displays! Can we get something like that over here, please?
     -Regarding the Italian sets, I'm gonna say that the 1999 prop is better, simply because of the colors. The colors used for the 1993 prop don't blend very well, and the cursive clashes with the Old West-style font.

Pick-a-Number:
     -Nice number font for Argentina. The jumble of numbers on the bottom is much better than our present one.
     -Canada's number font reminds me of the one for our One Away.
     -I don't get the Mexican house theme. Anyway, that number font for 1999 looks like Cooper Black, although somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
     -Portugal: Nightmare fuel.
     -Nice rainbow set! Absolutely most vivid, but I prefer Spain's instead of Bruce's, because of the brighter shade of blue.

Push Over:
     -Does France always have one block of each number? Also, the second prop has numbers on the top. Can you provide some background as to what they're used for?
     -I love the light bulbs that Spain used in 1999! The whole prop stands out from the rest of those in the collage.
     -Spain 2006/UK Joe: That's a cute idea, with the "Jonah and the Whale" theme. (It could just be a generic pirate theme, and "walk the plank" but there would be no reason for the whale, in that case.)

Squeeze Play:
     -Props to Australia for a very colorful prop. Then we get to 2012 and they fall off the deep end. They couldn't even put a name on the prop (although I believe they have it on the video screens on the second story.)
     -I like the orange of Germany's Squeeze Play. If Squeeze Play had appeared on the 80s Aussie TPIR, this would probably have made the cut.
     -2000s Italy: Pick the wrong number, and it will be a shocking letdown! BZZZZT!
     -1990s Netherlands obviously painted their prop to blend in with the stage, as you have the red and yellow, with touches of green and white.
     -1992 Spain leaves much to be desired. The numbers are so small! Not one of my faves.
     -I have always liked Leslie's prop, and I just don't know why! Maybe it's the unique shape, instead of the usual oval. 
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JayC on June 04, 2019, 09:38:28 PM
Add em Up: IMO the set went from pretty nice to ugly color scheme wise.

Golden Road: The Argentina price stands are nice. The large rainbow behind the game logo in Mexico just looks odd, and in general the sets/game logo are just too bland looking.

Pick a Number: These sets make ours look really good. A couple of them look like something in a nightmare and the others looked like they were designed for a pre-school. I know Casa means house, but I don't really get Mexico adding in the house theme.

Push Over: The Pakistan, Portugal, and UK Bruce sets make me think of our current Time is Money set. I kind of like the boat theme Spain 06 and UK Joe has-- are they the same exact set?

Squeeze Play: What's with all the 0s at the end of the price in Italy? Were they in play also, or was it just the first four/five numbers? Weird looking game logo too. The Australian set went from a bizarre mishmash of colors to a really plain circular set.

Unfortunately, this was the rule rather than the exception for the pricing games of the 2012 series.

(although I believe they have it on the video screens on the second story.)
They did, but that is most certainly no excuse for not having it on the prop itself.

The Australian Push Over is played differently from ours. You either push left or right to knock over one of the blocks on the end. It's actually a pretty neat concept.

What can I say? I love me some Push Over!  :-)

It is a neat concept, really a combination of Push Over and Bump.  If the US version ever wanted another 50-50 quick game to go with Coming Or Going/Side By Side/Double Prices then it would be a pretty straightforward one to introduce.   The blocks were originally far smaller.

I just love that Spain not only adapted Add Em Up to their series, but went to the effort of giving it two makeovers and made it last a lot longer than it did on the US version.

I love Argentina's Golden Road podiums too and wouldn't mind seeing the US game refurbished with similar podiums.  It's kind of neat too how they adapted the game to be a cash/small prize game.

Speaking of Argentina, their Pick A Number and Squeeze Play props are really nice and fit in with the cohesive nature of their game props more broadly.

I'm pretty sure the second France Push Over was simply a case of playing Push Over as a progressive game, three times for 3 prizes. 

The first Australian Squeeze Play does a good job of resembling a Jukebox although I always thought the colours were garish. 

In the photo I included of the 2012 Australian Squeeze Play, the setup is '19440'.  From recollection, the prize was 'Flowers for a year' - 1 x bouquet of flowers per month for 12 months.  This made it one of the easiest Squeeze Play setups I think I've ever seen.

China's 2015 series went through a brief, bizarre gothic phase, which I think was best exemplified with their Squeeze Play prop.

All I see is a black X

A greeting from Secret X.  :P But in all seriousness, it's fine on my end.

Secret X:
     -It is evident by now that Argentina uses the same pink and purple color scheme for many of their games. It's grown on me; I like it.
     -What's up with Brazil? Why are there six X's?
     -I see Colombia's Big Wheel in the background.
     -The Estonian set reminds me of Hollywood Squares.
     -I cast my vote for 1999 as best French prop.
     -France 2009: I'm guessing the models turn around and if the X makes a three-in-a-row the contestant wins. It's definitely unique.
     -The German "X" markers are very stylish. I'm guessing they're using the "Baby Teeth" font, but I could be wrong.
     -The question marks on the 1992 Italian set remind me of the ones for the Chance cards in Monopoly. Also the best set overall.
     -Netherlands makes me laugh. I wonder if they intended "Mister X" to actually mean "Mr. X" as we do here, or maybe it's just a translation.
     -I vote for UK Bruce 96 as best set, next to Italy.

1/2 Off:
     -Colombia goes from the bottom up, Mexico goes from the top down, and China mixes them up! Brosa, is there a reason that China arranges the boxes that way, or is it just for show?

Give or Keep:
     -I say that the Spanish set is best, for the selection of colors, and also for the set design, especially the lighted arrows.

Trader Bob:
     -Can you give some background on the German set? It doesn't look right.
     -I really like the UK set, because of the color combination, and also because of how organized it is.

There's really not much to it.  The game is called "Price Ladder," and the items are brought out on progressively higher podiums.  The board itself didn't play any more of a role than ours did.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JayC on June 10, 2019, 10:10:07 PM
Secret X: Bulgaria and France 09 using models as the Xs is well...unique. I wonder why UK Bruce changed its set after just one season. The Thailand set looks like a nice modern upgrade to our set with its lighting. The Vietnam set isn't bad but I don't like how different the color scheme on the SP stands is from the game board. Not a bad set overall, most just kept it like a regular Tic Tac Toe board.

1/2 Off: I like the colors the China set uses but the numbers being randomly placed bothers me. Columbia's looks like it belongs on (Nickelodeon) Double Dare.

Trader Bob: Just looking at the image for the German set I thought it was supposed to be shiny film negative.

The models are black shirts covered by zipped jackets, with one of their shirts having an X on it. they all remove their jackets at the end to reveal who was wearing the X.  The other three X shirts that the contestant can place are worn by audience members.

Not sure on Brazil.  There is a 7th X at the bottom middle of the prop too.  Maybe they won two X's per correct small prize?

Not sure on China mixing them up either.  I'd say just for show.

It should be noted that the versions of "Most Expensive" from the UK and Portugal are really Eazy az 1 2 3 (yes, even Leslie Crowther).  Bruce's Price Is Right also played the actual Most Expensive in its first two series; I'm no good with pictures, but it's the first game in this episode.

Safe Crackers: Not that much difference really from our set or from each other. Greece and UK Joe went with an actual sized safe rather than within a Big Door.

Most Expensive: Interesting how the prizes are actually integrated into the number stands in Italy.

Eazy Az 123: Mexico having the hands with the fingers up in the middle like that just looks really weird. China's sets are all over the place with the third set being way too small. The UK Joe set is kind of cute but goes overboard with the child's room theme.

Safe Crackers:
     -Not much variation here, but I like that Greece and UK used real safes.
     -Italy 2000s is my favorite, for having that gold and silver combination (pun intended).

Most Expensive:
     -I like the circle pattern on the base of the Aussie 80s set. Being a fan of the original US set, this is my favorite.
     -Very original idea of putting the prizes on a shelf inside each of the three numbers, instead of having the prop to the side or behind the prize. The Italian set from 1994 appeals to me the best.
     -Interesting that Vietnam copied that one design of ours, yet we had already gotten rid of that set five years earlier.
   
Eazy as 1-2-3:
     -China went through two sets in 2007? Well, I tend to like the first set, mainly because of all the light bulbs.
     -I've wondered this for a while: Why does Thailand have that connector between those two Big Doors? It's irritating the heck outta me.
     -I really admire the ingenuity of the UK, but that's just way too overblown.

Clearance Sale:
     -There's only one here, but it looks very nice. I especially like the pattern on the side.

I love seeing the staging of Most Expensive in the international series with many of them being centre stage rather than behind a big door. 

It's also cool to see the past three US sets for Most Expensive all represented here with interesting takes on them all.  Vietnam using their Punch A Bunch podiums to display prizes is kind of amusing, as is the 80's Australian set continuing the orange obsession of the turntable games.

     -Thailand: I love that they try to copy our sets, but I just can't accept a set that covers part of the title.

Thailand's Bargain Game is challenging my belief that the larger the set pieces, the better, and I don't like that.

I don't speak any languages other than English, but... the pun on "spelling bee" doesn't translate, right? So why do so many other nations' versions embrace not only the hexagons but also the bee motif?

In Spanish it would be something like "challenge of spelling", so no, the pun doesn't translate.

Mexico and Spain translates to "the beehive" and "the hive" respectively, and Italian is "the bee colony".

Even in the US the idea of a "spelling bee" is pretty loose. What spelling bee lets you get away with giving the letters out of order, or just saying the word?

For the record, the Pasquale version of 1 Right Price (and I'm guessing Spain '06, as well, since it has almost the exact same set) is 1 Right Price in name only -- if anything, it's Triple Prices.

With all the variations most of the games have gone through around the world, I'm amused that every single version of Switch? is basically identical.

Yes - you are correct.  Checking that video again, I think what confused me was that they reveal the actual prices one by one and the wrong price was revealed second with an understated 'win' bell.  They then took their time revealing the third one as if nothing had just happened and the correct answer hadn't already been found.

I notice how many times the "OK" logo appears on 80s Italy pricing game... seems to have been used more there than the classic dollar sign over here.

Spelling Bee: I'm a little surprised the games use pretty much a similar set and I'm assuming the exact same format as ours except for some requiring four letters to win, even maintaining the bee motif. I guess there's not many other ways you can present the game using the same rules though. Columbia's of course does seem different though, I can't really tell how the game is played there just with that picture. The Vietnam '19 set wouldn't be a bad update for our set.

Switch: Pretty similar to ours just with different colors. The Argentina color scheme is pretty cool although it seems more fitting for underwater or with a darker show set. I'm assuming the correct solution was to switch in that Australia 12 playing?

Bargain Bar/Game: Very compact other than a few of them. Do the Thailand price reveals flip manually like ours or are they screens? Don't really get the UK Bruce film strip motif, if that's what it's supposed to be.

One Right Price: Very compact setups also. Ooh, playing for two cars on UK Bruce.

One Wrong Price: There's really no way to tell what they're playing in the Spain set. UK Joe could've done a little more with the set.

Not as exciting as it looks -- if I remember correctly, if you won, you had to pick which car you wanted.  Or maybe you could only win the one with the one right price.  Either way, I'm pretty sure you weren't getting both of them.

Card Game:
     -France 2001: Is that neon? I like it. The background reminds me of the US Switcheroo.
     -What was UK Leslie's range?

Poker Game:
     -I honestly don't know why they changed to that gaudy set in '96. They revamped some of their set pieces as well. This one is too busy. Putting it to a vote, the 1999 prop is best, for a charmingly simplistic set. It's followed by the '87 set, and '96 gets third.
 
Buy or Sell:
     -I like this digital readout, but not as much as the display of our US set. That's a very charming dollar sign.

Coming or Going:
     -That Mexican set is a favorite of mine. It has red, orange and white, with touches of blue and white.

Card Game: Very interesting mix. The France 01 set looks like a carnival dunking booth and Italy's looks like a giant Showcase podium with a wide range of colors. UK Joe's giant decks of cards is pretty cool.

Poker Game: I think I like the 87 and 99 sets more than our set.

Australia: Barely a difference from our's really.

Coming or Going: The Argentina set is cool, maybe a bit larger than necessary.

More or Less: Canada's set looks like it was inspired by Gold Rush on LMaD. The China set is so compact. Interesting that Indonesia and Thailand has a scooter/bike at the end rather than a car. Way too dark of a backdrop in the Thailand set.

Pass The Buck in Vietnam

Fixed it for you. Welcome to G-R!

A couple comments here: First and foremost, although I admittedly can't understand a word of this, I like what I see! CR is very colorful, and the prize cues fit nicely, especially the due at 1:29, which sounds like a remake of this:


Now then...

Master Key:
     -Amazing how small some of these sets are, Belgium, Greece and UK Leslie notwithstanding.
     -Chile's huge keys for the win!
     -I do like the second France 01 set, for the shades of blue. It looks very nice, given the background.
     -That curved archway surrounding the keys though. Spain always has some good stuff.
     -UK Leslie's set is a favorite of mine. It's got a wide variety of colors, and it stands out (in a good way) in front of the gold of the Big Doors.

Pass the Buck:
     -I notice there are numbers 1-9. Brosa, what's the prize distribution, out of curiosity?
     -Mexico set is a favorite of mine. Nice color selection.

Shower Game:
     -Leave it to France to adopt a game like this. Out of the three, France '09 gets favorite (next to US version, of course), for smooth transition of colors in between the stalls, followed by France '01. France '15 takes last. Also interesting to note this game was picked up some 23 years after the US version retired it.

The cue at 1:04. (Sorry. Didn't get to it quick enough.)
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JayC on July 06, 2019, 11:09:38 AM
Master Key: Pretty interesting mix, it looks like there's a wide variety of budgets that each version had for its set.
-I notice the big wheel is visible behind the game in Russia's set. Was it like that for every game played on stage before a SCSD?
-Wow, Chile's keys are huge. Were they the ones used for the game or just props?
-I like the looks of the lock SP podiums in Thailand.
-Off topic, but the Vietnam turntable backdrop makes me think of the nighttime Hollywood turntable from the season 31 MDSs.

Pass the Buck: Columbia has a nice layout. In general the set is pretty cool.

Shower Game: Pretty nice sets, very surprised to see France still playing it. That game name definitely would not be approved here.

The Vietnamese version of Make Your Move seems to be the most familiar to the US version. The game title is hard to read though. Love the Australia ones since they allowed players to win a prize that matched, even if all three did not match, as well as the good design that wouldn't be a bad upgrade for our current version.

Balance Game: Columbia's is similar to our's just on a smaller scale. Thailand is like our's but with blue instead of purple. That blue floor in the Columbia makes it look like they're in water.

Check Game: Both looks here are pretty nice, really ahead of the times looking compared to the original set of our version. Interesting that Spain felt the need to have a giant arrow pointing to the check. Also interesting how Italy and Spain felt the need to upgrade the sets every few years for this and some other games while in the US most of our pricing games go decades without set changes.

Gas Money: Not that I would want our set to do this but I like the setup the Argentina set has with the readout on a monitor on the side. The Mexico set isn't bad but a little too simplistic.

Magic #: Australia and Germany basically copied ours while Italy went more simple. I wonder why they made the readout so much smaller in the second set, the only thing better about it is the numbers stand out more.

Make Your Move: Very interesting mix. I like the Australia 90s set the most, I prefer our version's color scheme but this one is quite sleek also. The 03 set seems like they wanted to make it their own but not drastically change it. Italy's version looks more like the retired game Bump we had. Russia's numbers are much too small.

Balance Game:
     -I like the Mexican one. It looks very sophisticated.

Check Game:
     -I like the colors for the Italian 1992 set, and I love that there's lots of open space on Italy '99.

Gas Money:
     -Yeah, the Mexican one just looks way too busy. Hard to follow the colord and overall design.

Magic #:
     -I really like that the Aussie set has the space background. It fits really well.

Make Your Move:
     -As always, I can't make any sense of the Netherlands 2000 prop. I do like the one from 2012, though.
     -I really like the overall design of Spain '99.

Brosa, I have a suggestion: Since it appears that we're ending our journey soon, as it appears that most of the games have been covered, could you put together a collage of the many Big Wheels, as a follow up to the pricing games? I'd really love to see it!  :-)

Thailand's Balance Game is how I imagine a repaint of the US game in recent seasons would've looked like, in line with the solid blue/yellow adopted for other refurbished games like 10 Chances and Most Expensive. 

It's worth noting that Spain's Check Game range values decreased between refurbishments.

I always loved the 'stars' in Australia's Magic Number set, but I never liked the name of the game just hanging there below the display.

I never liked the narrow font used on Australia's Make Your Move prize sliders either.  France's Make Your Move is one of my favourite international game sets, even if the theme is a little random.

It's in the Bag: I see Australia's only uses four bags-- are there still 6 GPs or do they use 5? These sets pretty much just look like cheaper versions of ours with some having odd patterns or color combinations.

Phone Home Game: Interesting that France and Italy kept playing it in the 90s and even into the 2000s for France. I like how France updated the phone to reflect the phone style for the time.

Bump: Very nice looking set.

France just about copies our Swap Meet set but then totally does their own thing by using a railroad handcar for That's Too Much. Very interesting.

I'm not going to directly address your question, but it's worth pointing out that in Australia, It's in the Bag wasn't a cash game -- you simply won a prize package if you got everything right.

France just about copies our Swap Meet set but then totally does their own thing by using a railroad handcar for That's Too Much. Very interesting.

Not so interesting, really -- those are two different versions of the show.

Also, I'd be interested to see how many other versions played Plinko like the UK did--where after accumulating cash, they must decide to either keep it or risk it on one last chip for a bonus prize (with the slots changed over to alternating WIN/LOSS).

I wish our version would. Especially that they would have at least considered it for that Plinko Day episode.

That was my intention, as I've collected screenshots of most of the big wheels and contestant's rows as I've gone along for that purpose.   I've also got screenshots of most of the games that are unique to international series and weren't played in the US to post too.

Dumb question, but does that also include what some versions may have used in lieu of the Big Wheel? I know the UK Leslie Crowther era used two special Showcase Showdown games when it was forced to give up the wheel. One was the closest that version had to Grocery Game; the other was somewhat reminiscent of The Price Was Right.

Phone Home Game: Interesting that France and Italy kept playing it in the 90s and even into the 2000s for France.

On a somewhat related note, if I'm remembering my dates right the UK Crowther's "Escalator" did (briefly) coexist with our Walk of Fame, but Italy's "Star" came about a decade and a half after Walk of Fame was gone over here.

There's only that one episode that's on Youtube of the 2003 Thailand series that I've been able to find.   They used the Australian theme music and winning bell/losing buzzer.  The showcase is interesting as it uses the common International showcase rules (selecting a random range, then pricing the showcase within that range without going over) but the result is revealed in a similar manner to the Australian showcase (each showcase prize's price revealed one at a time).

It's worth noting that Bulgaria's Cliff Hangers uses a monitor, and the mountain climber races up the mountain very quickly (this particular playing was a wipeout).

Also, I should point out that Vietnamese version was based on the US version but has the same winning bell/losing buzzer as Australia (the Australian come on down theme is used in credits), and a showcase round where 2 people bid on 1 showcase, but each showcase prize's price revealed one at a time.

Basically a mix of a few copies of our set, some simpler ones, and a few that have too much going on in Cliff Hangers. I like the Spain, Portugal, and UK sets after Leslie, a little small but I like the colors used. The UK Alan set is even simpler with the color scheme but it does look nice.

Very interesting mountain climbers, ranging from looking the same as ours, more cartoony, to generic drawings and even a silhouette. I like the ones that went for a more realistic mountain look in the background, especially France 96. France 99 was a total downgrade, but at least '09 and '10 look better.

Another week, another new El Precio import. This time it's Make Your Move (or Move and Win as it's named here). Played for $30,000, it's played just like our version, except they turn down the lights to reveal the answer.

brosa0, can you tell me where you found the pictures of Vietnamese Grand Game 2012 as well as their Plinko 2014, Bonus Game 2013, Shell Game 2012 and 2013, Line Em Up 2012? If they came from a clip can you send me a link to that clip? Thanks.

Also, I should point out that Vietnamese version was based on the US version but has the same winning bell/losing buzzer as Australia (the Australian come on down theme is used in credits), and a showcase round where 2 people bid on 1 showcase, but each showcase prize's price revealed one at a time.

Also can you give me links to some of your Vietnamese Price Is Right (Hãy Chọn Gía Đúng) episodes on Google Drive? I've been looking for them for years.

Pretty much all of the Vietnam screenshots came from episodes on Youtube.  If you search for Hãy Chọn Giá Đúng followed by a year (e.g. 2012, 2013) you should be able to find quite a few episodes including the ones that the screenshots are from.

It's in the Bag:
     -The front of the Australian prop looks like giant LEGO blocks.
     -Indonesia's bags are too narrow. They need to be widened a bit.
     -I love the Mexican color scheme. Green is a perfect color for a cash game.
     -I really, really love the Phillipine Big Doors. I'm not saying we should get something like that here, as I think they're waaay too flashy, but still appealing nonetheless.

Phone Home Game:
     -The French 1996 and 2001 sets are really my only favorites. Props to them for styling the set that way.
     -The 1983 Italian set is very pretty. I like it.

Bump:
     -I never was a fan of the Bump set. If I had to pick, I'd pick the one from '03. At least the name is easy to read.

Walk of Fame:
     -Star or Escalator? Hmm...I'd pick Escalator. It's a simple set that gets the point across.

That's too Much:
     -France: Just...no. I get the desire to be unique, but THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH!
     -Mexico, on the other hand, has a very colorful yet minimalistic set. I would prefer it over the US version.

Cliffhangers:
     -Australia 2012 removed the name. That's really a disappointment. If I hadn't ever seen TPIR before, I'd never know the name!
     -I like the Colombian set. There's lots of variety in the design.
     -It's very interesting how some of the props are facing the wrong way, as is Finland's. Is there a reason for this, or is it simply flipped for the heck of it?
     -About the only good thing about the French 2010 Cliffhangers is the SP podiums. They look nice. Designing the shelves to look like they're on top of Yodely Guy's back is very original.
     -The stage of the 2001 Indonesian TPIR is very elegant! Do you happen to have a picture of the whole set?
     -I really can't get over the Indonesian 2010 prop. At least expand the strip so that the numbers fit!
     -I'm not saying anything about the Portugal, Spain, or UK sets, since they're all copycats!

Yodely Guy:
     -I got a real kick out of the 95' Italy one. No personality, no face, just a body. At least it's better than the one for Russia. You can't beat a stick figure.

Mountain Themes:
     -I gotta give 'em credit: changing the theme is a great way to spruce up the game. My favorites are the Sphinx, carnival, and art gallery themes.

Below is the first series of "unique" games from international TPIR, with this particular set coming out of the UK.  I'll try to add Youtube links where available.  Following those is the first half of the contestant's rows (countries A-L).

3 In A Row:

Contestants select one item at a time and answer a question about the price of that item (e.g. True or False, Higher or Lower). They win with 3 correct answers in a line in any direction.

Matchmaker:
UK: Spain:
Contestants have to match two panels hiding the same prize to win that prize (at least two of the panels have nothing).  They can't select a previously-selected panel unless trying to match with a new panel.   There is no pricing at all in this game, so it surely ranks as one of the worst games in the whole series.

Partners:

It's hard to say how exactly this game works from the video, other than there are two contestants involved and three pairs of prices.   Seems like it might be inspired by the Phone Home Game?

(https://i.imgur.com/nPMpK1S.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/nPMpK1S.jpg)

Permutation:

The contestant must add four of the six listed values together to come to the correct price of the prize.  They are given the most expensive one for free, and get a second chance if incorrect on the first attempt.

Tic Tac Toe:

Walk The Line:

Basically a five item version of the pricing portion of Let 'Em Roll, deciding whether the item is higher or lower than the previous one in the line.  The contestant wins if they get all of them correct.

Post by: tpir04 on August 07, 2019, 04:23:05 PM
Some comments about the UK pricing games:
     -3 in a Row is a favorite of mine. I can see some elements of Now or Then in the gameplay, and the room for error is greatly expanded as well.
     -Matchmaker certainly is not a pricing game, but it is okay nonetheless. I like that when one prize is revealed, the most previous prize is flipped back.
     -It seems like Partners is identical to the Phone Home Game, except that you're playing for the items themselves, instead of grocery products that have cash values attached to them. 
     -Permutation is good as well, but it's very important to note that Leslie tells the contestant if their first Permutation is higher or lower than the ARP. You omitted this in your description, which altered the judgment I had about this game (before I watched the video). I believe that rule makes playing the game a lot easier.
     -I also happened to watch Time-Play as well, and I did not like it at all. It seems too rushed. There are three prizes instead of two, which already makes the game much more difficult than necessary. In addition, at least with Clock Game, you get a break to collect yourself before bidding on the second prize. There is no such break here.

CR:
     -Lots of variations on shapes and colors. Since commenting on all of these would take a long time, I'll just provide my absolute favorites:

-Aussie '73, love the CR backdrop;
-Aussie '80, orange overload;
-Brazil '80, for the dollar signs in front;
-Chile, neon for the win;
-Germany '89, for the dark blue color;
-Italy '84 for the circular podiums, and;
-Italy '89 for the trapezoid-shaped podiums, and that oddly placed door in the back. (Any idea what that's for, Brosa?)

Shout-out goes to the background of the Indonesian TPIR, as I love the vividness of the color scheme and the symmetry of the G-T asterisks.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: Muon Duc Huy on August 08, 2019, 07:40:20 AM
Contestant's Row:
- Aussie: Like the 2003 set. The blue monitor just look beautiful. Don't like the 1989 set because I can't see the bid on the yellow podium.
- Canada 1994: Cheap set.
- China 2009: Don't really like the circle podiums, but looks interesting to me.
- France 1999: Look similar to the Vietnamese 2011 one. Interesting.
- Germany 2007: Really bad compare with the 1993 one.
- Isarel: An exact copy of the Dutch ones.
- Italy: Quite interesting to see their inflation rate there. (Vietnamese is the same but without the last three digits in the CR)

Also, when will Part 2 Contestant's Row come out?

Next up are games that originated from the French 1999-01 series (source for a lot of the info was http://www.lejusteprixtv.com/), along with the second half of the contestant's rows.

Le Bowling:

In the French version, the contestant must knock all the pins down within three bowls to win (one bowl free; two extras gained through small items)
In the Italian version, the six pins correspond to different prizes/outcomes which they can accumulate with the extra bowls.

Le lancer franc:
Essentially a basketball version of "On The Nose".

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/Nz9dBas.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/Nz9dBas.jpg)

Les tirs au but:
The contestant has to score three goals from six attempts, but can reduce the number of goals required to win through two small items.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/QjZJZhB.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/QjZJZhB.jpg)

Le Juke Box:

In the French 2009 version, the contestant selects from three music genres and has to guess the song that is played.  If they do, one of the prizes is revealed and they must guess the price correctly from two options to win that prize.  This is all repeated for the other two prizes.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/Bulkreq.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/Bulkreq.jpg)

Le TV quiz:
Essentially the same as Le Juke Box, but with TV shows instead of songs.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/WbeUY3u.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/WbeUY3u.jpg)

Le Cine quiz:
Similar gameplay to Les tirs au but, with five correct guesses of music film tracks required to win which can be reduced to two correct guesses required through three small items.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/nMKrurW.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/nMKrurW.jpg)

Le Flechettes:

In the 99-01 version, the game is played similar to Card Game in that the contestant must pop balloons of various values until the total is within a certain range of the price of the prize.

The 09 version is a small prize game where the contestant drops a dart on a value, then drops the corresponding earned dart on the centre red circle multiplier to win that money.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/hRduXgq.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/hRduXgq.jpg)

Les cerceaux:
Another small prize game, with the contestant using hoops to earn money (one free hoop; up to four more can be earned).

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/XwOJhH7.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/XwOJhH7.jpg)

L'alarme Fatale:
The 99-01 version is basically a 5-prize Race Game variant.

The 09 series version is a small prize game to earn up to three keys, which the contestant use to open cells containing the prizes.  They then have to navigate through an obstacle course within a time limit without setting off a detonator to use the keys to open the cell doors for the corresponding prizes.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/rqeyjpo.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/rqeyjpo.jpg)

Le code barre:

The contestant has 30 seconds to find and match the four barcodes that correspond to the four prizes.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/9MLYB1X.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/9MLYB1X.jpg)

Le distributeur:

The contestant uses small prize guesses to complete the ATM "code" to win 10000F.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/yC4Aed8.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/yC4Aed8.jpg)

Le 50-50:
A two player game using a home viewer on the telephone, much like Phone Home Game.  There are two, six-panel boards side-by-side (one for the in-studio contestant, one for the home viewer).  The in-studio contestant uses two small prizes to earn chances to reveal what's behind two of the panels on each side.  Both sides' panels include 2 x lose and 1 x second chance, however the in-studio contestant's side has 10/30/50 for the remaining three panels while the home viewer's side has 0/00/000.  The best panel revealed from each side is combined, so the contestants can win up to 50000F (50 + 000).

(https://i.imgur.com/M1s6hvw.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/M1s6hvw.jpg)

Le oui ou non:
Translates to "Yes or No", the contestant must correctly guess a series of questions with the answer either 'Yes' or 'no' to progressively 'unlock' three prizes.  The game is over once they make three mistakes or get enough correct to win all three prizes.

- Vietnamese version of Price actually taped in Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, according to Wiki. In those different places, the Contestant's Row looks different.

As a little aside, here is Slovakia's contestant selection lottery tumbler:
(https://i.imgur.com/AmRX2Su.png)

Every contestant has a number on their shirt in addition to their name, and there are four numbers drawn at the start of the show and one before each subsequent one bid.  If their number is drawn out they are the next contestant to 'come on down', so the contestant selection is completely random.

Post by: tpir04 on August 14, 2019, 12:27:30 PM
Le Bowling:
    -For gameplay, I'd vote for the Italian version. While the French version sounds more like bowling, the Italian rule set appeals to me more. As far as set design, I'd vote for France '09.

Le lancer franc:
     -The Portuguese set seems too plain. The French version from '09 is too confusing and abstract. The French '99 set is easy to see. It gets my vote.

Le Flechettes:
     -I really like this game! The concept of dropping a dart sits well with me. The second version is really not related to pricing, but it's very colorful nonetheless.

CR:
     -Mexico 80s: Do they write their bids on paper or something?
     -The Dutch set from '87 is real nice. Very simplistic, but elegant nonetheless.
     -I really like that neon around the Philippine 2011 set. It makes the set very bright and eye-appealing.
     -I don't really get the curves of Portugal '03. They just seem too unnecessary.
     -The displays on the early Spanish versions are A favorite of mine. It's a nice break from the eggcrate and LCD that we usually see.
     -I like the set used for UK Leslie. The whole stage is really quite pretty, with the blocky letters and everything covered in gold glitter.

Yes, it was sponsored by a department store and doesn't seem to have had a huge budget.  Moldova is still the cheapest, using those chalkboards. :P

Overall, I think my favourite contestant's rows are:
- Argentina 2019 - nice colours
- Australia 1989 - the coloured wedges remind me of the Wheel Of Fortune set in Australia in the early-mid 90's
- Chile - love the numbers
- China '15
- France '89
- Spain '88-'93

Next up are three games from Argentina's current series along with some Showcase Showdown alternatives to the big wheel, plus the first half of the big wheels used around the world.

Delivery Lizy:

The contestant must price four different meals/food items and 'deliver' them to the building on the screen with that item's price on it to win cash.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/Ee8JtEn.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/Ee8JtEn.jpg)

El Carrusel de Lizy:

A cash/small prize game where the contestant pops as many balloons as they can within a time limit and wins the sum of the notes contained in the balloons that were popped.  This game seems to be based on the game "La Pluie de Ballons" from the French 2009 series (although in that series, they have a set number of balloons to pop rather than a time limit).

(https://i.imgur.com/v8ppXgD.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/v8ppXgD.jpg)

El Super de Lizy:

A small prize/grocery item game played for cash, the contestant must select the total price of a trolley full of grocery items from six options.  They can win two extra chances through two small prizes.

Double Bullseye:
Played in Australia as an alternative to the big wheel (although it was sometimes used in conjunction with the wheel in some of the hour-long formats).  It was used in the first series in February '73, just 5 months after the US show's debut, which helps to explain how it came to be used in the Australian series.  This also means it actually predates the big wheel as a way of determining a showcase player.  According to Wikipedia, it was also used in the 2001 Philippines series.

Supermarket:
Used early on in the Leslie Crowther series.  The contestants would select four of the six grocery items with the contestant whose total was closest to £20 winning through to the showcase.

Secret One Bid:
Used in Spain's '88-'93 series.  Unlike the normal one bid rounds, the contestants would have to write their guess down.  There were two rounds with three contestants in each, with the closest without going over in each round winning through to the showcase.

Ryan.

I think so, yes.  I'm guessing it was in response to the other popular game shows at the time (Sale Of The Century, Wheel Of Fortune) having carryover champions.  Also, it's worth noting on the 80's Australian big wheels that they include the decimal for the 100 space, so it is "1.00".

For the Big Wheel in China '15, I just felt something Wheel Of Fortune here.

I have no idea what's going on with the Brazil '80 one.

I've since discovered the Brazil one was actually not from the Price Is Right but rather was used in a lottery draw - see: Still quite amusing seeing so many TPIR-like wheels going around all at once.

It's saying something that the flat big wheel for China's 2015 series is not even in the top 5 most bizarre things about that show.

For the Secret One-Bid: What happens if two people have the same bid?

These wheels are all very interesting. Some are just the wheel, others are surrounded with stands, and others are lavish like ours.

Australia 1989: I like the simple pattern used for the side walls, along with the number font.

Belgium 1990: Eh. The stand is a bit odd, but it doesn't detract any.

Brazil 2009: I like the circular design of the background.

Bulgaria: Very colorful wheel. Third favorite of mine.

Chile: Absolute favorite. The bold numbers and the neon on the sides, in particular.

China 2015: Second favorite. I like the idea of a horizontal wheel. Perhaps replace the cube on top with a Pricedown dollat sign or G-T asterisk. I wouldn't advocate for a change on the US version, however.

Colombia 1981: Thin wheel, but charming nonetheless.

Germany 1991, because of the very simple numbers.

Indonesia 2010: Really odd numbers on this one. They seem very out of place.

Israel: To say nothing of big set pieces.

Another new game debuted in Argentina last week.   Below that is the first lot of 'new' games from the French 2009-2015 series plus the second part of the big wheels.

Memo Lizy:

The contestant has 10 seconds to memorize the prices of six small items.  They then have 20 seconds to place the six price tags on the right items.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/4dn2w2J.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/4dn2w2J.jpg)

La Pochette Surprise:

Essentially a differently staged Bonus Game, with the contestant winning if they get the corresponding small item correct.

Click for larger image
(https://i.imgur.com/LYH86w2.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/LYH86w2.jpg)

La Balle au Centre:

An interesting take on On The Nose.  The contestant has five paintballs and must first hit the correct price out of the four options.  Once they do that, they use their remaining paintballs to try and hit the bullseye to win.

Le Mini-bar:

The same as Hole In One, except they must slide the mug into the hole at the end of the bar.

La Brique Au Prix:

The contestant must hit bricks in the wall without causing it to collapse and can earn more hits through small items.  The orange bricks hide cash amounts and they have the option of bailing with what they've earned if they think the wall might collapse.

La Pluie de Ballons:

The game that seemed to inspire "El Carrusel de Lizy" from Argentina's current series, only here they earn a number of balloons to break rather than an increased time limit.

In Vietnam, there exist a Big Wheel varient from 2010. It's the same as the 2011 one, but slightly crappier.

I do like the Big Wheel from Mexico, because it virtually almost represents OUR big wheel!!!

-Italy 1989: The side panels are really colorful, and I like them.
-In the Lebanon picture, there is an "LBC" logo in the upper-left. Could this be a subsidiary of ABC? I ask because the shapes of the logos are similar.
-I like the numbers of the wheel on Mexico 1997. Does anybody know what font they are and if/where they are available for download?
-Mexico 2010 is my favorite. It utilizes LED but doesn't overdo it.
-Peru: Love the pinwheel style paint job and the bulbs on the sides.
-UK Bob: I always favored the "Euro" stand that was used.
-Slightly off topic, but I'm fond of the octagonal Big Doors, used in Vietnam 2014.

Below are the 'original' games from Spain's oddball 1988-93 series, along with a couple of adapted US games/designs that I missed earlier.

Poco A Poco ("Little By Little") / El Nido ("The Nest"):

The contestant selects one panel from each of three columns that correspond to a portion of the price of the prize (the first digit, middle three digits, three 000's at the end).  Each panel contains a random cash amount.  The contestant can either bail with the total cash amount revealed from the panels they selected, or risk the cash to win the prize if their selected panels form the price of the prize.

In early playings, the game was called El Nido and the contestant only selected panels from the first two columns.

(https://i.imgur.com/aOgMqwy.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/aOgMqwy.jpg)

La Escalera de Precios ("The Price Ladder"):

The contestant must order five small items from least to most expensive.  They get two chances, with the number of correctly-placed items revealed after the first chance. They win whatever small items they have in the correct places, plus the main prize if all five are correct.

(https://i.imgur.com/KY5X7Lq.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/KY5X7Lq.jpg)

Las Siete y Media ("Half Past Seven"):
http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/el-precio-justo/precio-justo-14-06-1988/5339768/

This game seems to be inspired by Hit Me/Blackjack, only it doesn't appear to involve any pricing.  The contestant spins the wheel on the left until they get themselves as close as they are comfortable to 7 1/2 without going over.   Once they stop, the model spins the "Bank's" wheel on the right to try and beat the contestant's number (it appears the bank has to 'hold' if they reach 6).  The number panels in the middle all contain prizes, and the contestant wins the prize corresponding to the number they have if they beat the "Bank".

(https://i.imgur.com/B2YuTiE.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/B2YuTiE.jpg)

El Gran Juego de Banesto ("The Great Game of Banesto"):

This game, sponsored by Banesto, requires the contestant to use correct small item guesses to scale the money tower on the left.  A car, worth less than the top cash amount, is also up for grabs. 

The contestant is given a ball which they can trade in to continue if they get a small item wrong.  When the contestant gets to the middle of the ladder, they can choose to play for the car on the second highest spot on the ladder and forgo the top cash amount.  If they do this, they must guess which of the coloured panels on the right contains the picture of the car, then correctly guess the next small item to win the car.

(https://i.imgur.com/shKvGE9.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/shKvGE9.jpg)

Los Barcos ("The Ships"):

The contestant must find the two panels that contain images relating to the main prize.  They lose if they reveal water instead, but can win two extra lives through small items.

(https://i.imgur.com/aUcTcZ5.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/aUcTcZ5.jpg)

El Libreton BBV game (sorry, not sure on the actual name):

This game, sponsored by El Libreton BBV, requires the contestant to stop the randomizer on numbers that correspond to the prizes at the bottom of the prop.  They have ten chances to select numbers, so want to avoid landing on the same number more than once.  If they land on one of the two sponsor panels, they can select any number (ideally one that's in the price of one of the better prizes).

(https://i.imgur.com/M8lBRIC.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/M8lBRIC.jpg)

La Gran Cazada de Leche Pascual ("The Great Pascual Milk Hunt"):

Another sponsored game, the contestant must search in the prize (e.g. an actual car) for the letter blocks that make up the word 'PASCUAL' on the main prop.  They win if they find all the blocks, which each correspond to a digit in the price of the prize. They can use small items, I think, to win wildcards if they cannot find one or two of the blocks within the time limit.

(https://i.imgur.com/iQTRwvJ.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/iQTRwvJ.jpg)

As De Copas:
Unfortunately the video that had this game on Youtube seems to have disappeared and I can't remember how it is played.  I'm thinking they had to match panels similar to Matchmaker (which Spain played in the first season), but with a small item element to earn more chances.

(https://i.imgur.com/XKkyrKk.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/XKkyrKk.jpg)

Juego De Los Piratas ("Pirates Game"):

The first of three games played on a video screen, this one requires the contestant to guess the fourth, third and second digits of the prize's price from three choices each.   They can have up to two wrong guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/tWRJpp9.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/tWRJpp9.jpg)

Juego De La Aventura Jurasica ("Jurassic Adventure Game"):

Another game played on a video screen.  The contestant has to guess the first three digits, with up to four wrong guesses allowed.

(https://i.imgur.com/4U2hvTx.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/4U2hvTx.jpg)

Juego Del Faraón ("Pharaoh Game"):

The third game played on a video screen, the contestant selects the number on each row that, when combined with the correct numbers on the other two rows, forms the price of the prize.

(https://i.imgur.com/BbjRXta.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/BbjRXta.jpg)

La Escalera de Prémios ("The Prize Ladder"):
This was played in every episode as a consolation game for the contestants who didn't make it out of contestant's row, slotting in between the last pricing game and the secret one bid playoffs.  The contestants have up to five cards drawn from a deck to try and win some cash.  They have to guess whether the next card is higher or lower than the previous card.  If they are correct, they can continue; if not, they lose half the amount earned and stop.  There was a jackpot they could win for getting all five cards drawn.

The next set of "unique" games from France:

Murs de Ballons:

The contestant has the chance to pop seven balloons on each of four sides of the cube to win the cash amounts contained in them.  Each side has higher cash values to win than the previous side, and the contestant uses small item guesses to earn the chance to play for the sides with the higher values.   The game was adapted for a Christmas variation called "Le Calendrier de l'Avent".

(https://i.imgur.com/EwIy73B.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/EwIy73B.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/65D7rVc.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/65D7rVc.jpg)

Le Labyrinthe:

The contestant has 35 seconds to use the touch screen to make the path through the maze without touching the hazards.  They can use small item guesses to increase the number of times they can make an error before losing. Also adapted for a Christmas variant called "Le Traîneau du Père Noël".

(https://i.imgur.com/sFXwoFm.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/sFXwoFm.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/FdzoyWK.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/FdzoyWK.jpg)

La Petanque:

The contestant tosses their ball to knock the balls out of the four rings to earn money.  They can win three extra balls through small item guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/JthnGyJ.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/JthnGyJ.jpg)

Le Prix Selectif:

This is a memory game played for three prizes of increasing value. The contestant has 15 bottles (3 x yellow, 5 x blue, 7 x red) and is facing 15 buckets. The lids of the buckets will open for three seconds with a colour on the bottom of each lid that corresponds to one of the bottle colours.  For the first prize, the contestant has to place the 3 yellow bottles in the correct buckets; then the 5 blue for the middle prize; then the 7 red for the largest prize.  They can earn extra chances through small item guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/hwoD9Ne.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/hwoD9Ne.jpg)

Le Ball-in:

The contestant must manouevre a plate into the hole that corresponds to the price of the prize. If they are incorrect, the plate will fall through the back of the hole and smash on the ground.  They can earn additional plates through small item guesses.  A variant was played as a Christmas game "Les Cheminées de Noël".  Le Ball-in was also played on China's 2015 series.

Le Super Bonus:

The contestant has to manouevre the ball in the giant compass prop into the hole in the middle of it to win the main prize.  They have 30 seconds to do so and can earn up to 60 more seconds by correctly pricing three medium prizes (they also win the medium prizes if guessed correctly).

(https://i.imgur.com/SUoaOrX.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/SUoaOrX.jpg)

L'envol des Prix:

Essentially "Four Price Tags" with up to three guesses available through small items, but using a remote control helicopter that moves to the podium to indicate which price the contestant is choosing.

(https://i.imgur.com/Ph6YZXD.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/Ph6YZXD.jpg)

La Labyrinthe Electrique:

The contestant must navigate a metal ring attached to a helmet they are wearing through an obstacle course without touching the guiding rail.  If it does, they receive a small zap and lose the game.  They can earn the right to touch the guiding rail more than once through small item guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/aUtvejT.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/aUtvejT.jpg)

Les Fromages:

The contestant must guess where in France a particular cheese comes from.  They can earn two additional cheeses to place on the map through small items, and can win up to 3500 euro depending on how many cheeses they placed correctly.

(https://i.imgur.com/2fJeDOi.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/2fJeDOi.jpg)

Le Prix Qui Pete:

The contestant can earn up to four chances to punch the balloon they believe displays the price of the main prize using the boxing machine. 

(https://i.imgur.com/hiTq8vz.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/hiTq8vz.jpg)

Les Cadeaux du Père Noël / Boum:

Another of the Christmas games, this one requires the contestant to touch "presents" as they appear on the giant touch screen to win money.  They can earn extra time to play the game through small prizes.  This game was subsequently modified to a non-Christmas version called "Boum!"

These games were introduced in 2015 when France refreshed their series.  It's fair to say from these games that anything can be turned into a pricing game so long as you can slap a few small items onto it. :P

Le Couloir laser:

The contestant must make it through a laser obstacle course without touching the lasers.  They are allowed one mistake and can earn two extras through small item guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/A97muSi.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/A97muSi.jpg)

Le Monde a L'Eveners:

While hanging upside down, the contestant must transfer water from one bottle to another within a time limit.  Beforehand, they must pick the price of the main prize from four options.  The number of bottles they must fill equals the number of picks they take to find the right price of the prize.

(https://i.imgur.com/64Sa0wj.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/64Sa0wj.jpg)

Le Goling:

The contestant must roll the ball along the track and land it on the hole at the end to win.  They can win up to four attempts through small item guesses.

Le Photomaton:

The contestant has to put on the items that match the character that is displayed on the screen before running across to have their photo taken at the photo booth.  They have 50 seconds and can earn an extra 20 seconds through small item guesses.  They win if they match three of the characters in time.

(https://i.imgur.com/dxfFhDA.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/dxfFhDA.jpg)

Le Prix Au Kilo:

Three prizes are displayed on three different balance scales, with two weights displaying prices on the other side each of scale.  The contestant must choose between the two prices for each prize to balance that scale and win the prize.

(https://i.imgur.com/Ep2bWxf.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/Ep2bWxf.jpg)

Les Echelles:

The contestant is faced with four ladders, each with their own handle at the top. Three of the ladders will fall when the contestant climbs them and pulls their handles.  The contestant must select the ladder that doesn't fall to win the main prize.  They start with one attempt and can earn up to three attempts through small item guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/3cziXVQ.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/3cziXVQ.jpg)

Disco D'or / Le Bon Masque / Le Prix Des Stars:
Disco D'or: Le Bon Masque: Le Prix Des Stars:
These games were played on special themed shows.  In each case the contestant is shown five people and five pieces of information or objects that correspond to those people, and must match them correctly to win (e.g. in Disco D'or, they must match five disco-era performers with their album sales).   The contestant can price two small items to earn 'mistakes' in their matching without losing.

Danse Synchro:

This game also appeared on two themed specials.  A dance routine is performed by dancers, after which the contestant must perform it with them and copy as close as possible. At set intervals, their photo will be taken and after the routine, the photos are reviewed to see whether the contestant was copying the routine correctly at least three times.  The contestant can price two small items to earn 'mistakes' in their performance without losing.

Skate Park:

This game is basically "Six Price Tags" with up to three guesses available through small item guesses.

(https://i.imgur.com/LsZygf7.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/LsZygf7.jpg)

Le Ping Pong:

The contestant must hit ping pong balls into the holes on the table to earn money. They have 60 seconds to accumulate as much money as they can, and can earn an extra 30 seconds through small item guesses.

A 1 Dent Pres:

The contestant must observe a giant mouth and count the number of teeth that appear in the mouth, giving the exact total at the end to win the game.  They can increase their margin of error through small item guesses.

Some unique games from Germany, Italy and Mexico.

Germany:
Rätselpfennig:

The contestant must price four grocery items correctly.  They get two chances to do this.  Once they do this, they then have to choose which of the three columns of number equals the price of the main prize to win it.

(https://i.imgur.com/DYQelQg.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/DYQelQg.jpg)

Schaufenster:

The contestant is shown eight grocery items along with their prices, which are then covered up after being described by the announcer. The contestant then has 30 seconds to match the grocery items with their actual prices.  If they match at least six correctly, they win.

(https://i.imgur.com/lY19zc9.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/lY19zc9.jpg)


Italy (main source: https://www.okilprezzoegiusto.tv):
Chi dei Due:

This game is basically a two-prize "One Wrong Price", with the contestant having to guess which of the two prices is false. 

(https://i.imgur.com/71E31eA.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/71E31eA.jpg)

Gran Menù:

Playing for two prizes, the contestant is shown a lunch cooked by an in-studio "chef" featuring four diferent dishes from around Italy.  They must guess the price of each dish one by one.  If their total is within 5000 of the correct total of the lunch, they win both prizes.  If it's outside the winning margin, they can win one of the prizes if they had the price of one of the four dishes exactly right.

(https://i.imgur.com/Ufc1qvM.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/Ufc1qvM.jpg)

Il Girasole:

The contestant is faced with a sunflower with 16 petals that indicate different cash amounts.  They can earn up to four spins of the sunflower to accumulate cash through small item guesses.

Le Stelle in Gioco:

The contestant can win up to three selections of astrological signs through small items.  If their chosen signs are revealed alongside any of the three main prizes on the main board, they win those prizes.

Super Vincita:

The contestant selects three numbered squares from a 90-square board and can win an further six through small item guesses.  If three of their selected numbers appear in the six panels on the right of the board, they win the main prize.  If one or two numbers appear in the panels, they win a minor cash prize.

Vietnam has just revived Line'em Up today.

It's good to see them adding extra games as they haven't had enough to keep things varied and interesting (imo).   Not a fan of how Line Em Up looks there though, pretty bare bones compared to their original LEU prop.


Thailand has recently added four games from the US series:  Do The Math, Range Game, Most Expensive, Double Prices. 

In Range Game and Do The Math, the panels that display the prices of the prizes are not electronic.  The main display in Do The Math is still a screen.   

Also, I just love the Most Expensive logo, which is sort of a 3D version of the mat from the US series.

Do The Math:

Their Most Expensive set definitely looks nice. Do the Math looks nice too, just a little too much going on with all the different equations written. The Double Prices prop is just too wide with the price tags and logo as small as they are on it.

Another new game for Argentina last week: 10 Chances.

I usually like their game designs but I think this is the worst they've made so far.  It's a lot wider than it needs to be and the colours don't go together.

(https://i.imgur.com/mw8JVVk.jpg)

I've been keeping tally of how many times each game has been played in Argentina's series to see how the series developed in its first year, based on episodes uploaded to Youtube (which is 180 total of the first 185 episodes or so).  Below is the count through 180 episodes:

83 - Plinko
66 - Gas Money
62 - Grand Game
54 - Dice Game
52 - It's In The Bag
50 - Pick A Number
47 - Golden Road
46 - Switch
45 - Pick A Pair
43 - Danger Price
42 - Coming Or Going
40 - Most Expensive
39 - Hole In One
39 - Secret X
38 - Lucky Seven
37 - Range Game
37 - Squeeze Play
31 - Punch A Bunch
29 - Carrusel De Lizy
28 - Any Number
25 - 5 Price Tags
23 - Delivery Lizy
22 - Line Em Up
20 - Freeze Frame
17 - Bonkers
15 - Memo Lizy
13 - El Super De Lizy
13 - Flip Flop
13 - Make Your Move
9 - Master Key
7 - Shopping Spree
1 - 10 Chances

Shopping Spree and Flip Flop appear to have been retired.  Both were in the original rotation of games, but Shopping Spree was played 6 times in the first 30 episodes with its 7th and last appearance in episode 68, while Flip Flop's last appearance was in episode 106.   Line Em Up and Secret X were also in the initial rotation and haven't appeared since episode 144, which is quite a large gap for this series.  Likewise, 5 Price Tags was last played in episode 146.

Memo Lizy on the other hand is one of the latest games to debut but has already been played 15 times in 25 episodes.

Another new game debuted in Argentina recently: Precio Explosivo.
Link:
The contestant is shown a prize along with four prices and must avoid selecting the price of the prize until only that correct price is left (much like Gas Money, only with no cash/bail out option).  If they select the price of the prize it 'explodes' in glitter and they lose.

It's already been played 5 times, while two other games (5 Price Tags and Bonkers) haven't been played in a very long time which would suggest they've been added to the 'retired' pool of games.

El Precio Justo keeps trucking along in Argentina, although there have been no new pricing games since the last one that was posted.

Episodes up to #275 are now on Youtube, so below is an updated tally of the pricing game frequency since the show premiered.  It's been interesting to observe that about a quarter of the last 50 or so episodes have had 7 games (and, in two cases, 8 games) played during the episode instead of the usual 6.

Two new games for Argentina since the previous post:  Suma Exacta and More Or Less.

Suma Exacta reuses the prop from the retired 10 Chances game that only lasted two playings.  The contestant has to select 5 grocery items, one at a time, out of 10 options to reach an exact designated total.  Have included 10 Chances below for comparison.

(https://i.imgur.com/p2ykjnJ.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/mw8JVVk.jpg)

More Or Less (Mas o Menos) is played as a single prize quick game, with the contestant having to decide if the price is more or less than the incorrect price that is displayed.

You would have to wake me up after the prize reads and we would only have time for Double Prices for the rest of the show.

You would have to wake me up after the prize reads and we would only have time for Double Prices for the rest of the show.

The prize reads are literally the announcer saying the names of each item as they are displayed on the prop - no sizes or descriptions given - so it only takes about 7 seconds to roll through them.  This is the same for other games using grocery items. 

It is rather bemusing to watch the model pressing the 10 Chances buttons every time the contestant makes a choice, as if they have any function whatsoever in relation to the big screen (which they really don't seem to).

Here's a link to the first playing:
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World

Yet another two new games for Argentina:  Par o Impar and Lizy Shopping.

In Par o Impar (translates to Even or Odd) the contestant must decide whether the 2nd digit is odd or even, and likewise for the 3rd digit.  If they get both correct, they win the prize.

(https://i.imgur.com/GCbJALp.jpg)

In Lizy Shopping the contestant must match the six price tags with their corresponding prizes.  Once they do this, the contestant selects one prize at a time to reveal whether the price they gave it is correct.  If it is correct, they win that prize.  They can risk their winnings and continue to reveal prizes one at a time to win them all, or can bail with the prizes they've already won.
(https://i.imgur.com/plI3tyx.jpg)

Also, for a few weeks now the show has been running a car promotion in each episode.  A couple of audience members have their number drawn at random from a barrel and can select one key from a board of 100 keys.   They take turns trying to start the car with their chosen key and if they do, they win the car (if not, they win nothing).

This soaks up a fair bit of time and has resulted in a couple of recent episodes only having 5 pricing games played in them, and even a lot of the recent episodes with 6 games have had 4 'quick' games in their lineups to fit the promotion in.

Another new game for Argentina this week: Precio Al Cubo.

This is just a much harder version of Line Em Up, which was retired from this series ages ago.  The only difference is that the middle three digits have four options each.  It's a shame it's so hard as the game looks great.

The new games keep coming for Argentina; this time it's Clock Game (Tempo Justo).

Pretty straightforward here, except that the announcer is the one that tells them higher or lower rather than the host.  The first playing (screens below) resulted in a last second win.  Only four pricing games were played in that episode rather than the standard six.

I completely forgot how the Vietnamese version have changed during the past 4 months, so here's what they have changed:
- New hosts (Former Wheel host Tuấn Tú and Hoàng Linh)
- There is a safe in the announcer's seat. When a contestant win money, the announcer will open the safe and give the money to the contestant.
- They probably retired Golden Road.
- Kirby music can be heard during the show (not the price cue though).
- Some pricing game have some small design changes.

Just been catching up on El Precio Justo (Argentina) after a busy couple of months.   The show has continued to tape and air during COVID-19 with some interesting and bewildering results.

But first... there was an interesting new game that debuted just prior to the virus impacting the show:  El Arbol De La Fortuna ("The Tree of Fortune")

In this game, there are different money value cards scattered on the reverse side of a large tree, including one top value card of $10,000, as well as several "Lose Everything" cards.

The contestant starts with 10 seconds to pick as many cards off the tree and can earn an extra 20 seconds through two small prizes.  They are then blindfolded and pick as many cards as they can within the time limit.  These are then revealed to the contestant one by one, with the cash amounts revealed accumulating. The contestant can bail at any time, as revealing a "Lose Everything" card loses them any money revealed and ends the game.

(https://i.imgur.com/Rd9zb4v.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/P9IhSi8.jpg)


Since my last update when Clock Game debuted, it appears the show has fallen in love with that game.  It's replaced the big wheel and showcase at the end of regular episodes - similar to other international versions - but was also getting played in place of one of the pricing games early on in the episodes.

(https://i.imgur.com/Y2Gwcqa.jpg)


Since COVID-19 hit, the show's become a bit of a mess and barely "The Price Is Right" at all the longer they've gone on.  The episodes appear to now fill a 2 hour timeslot and have become variety shows including updates on the virus, and other non-pricing related games and segments.  In some episodes, there have literally not been any pricing games played at all, and in others only the new Clock Game has been played.

Initially it appears they tried several formats, including:

1. Playing with just the minimum contestants needed to play the pricing games, with no audience, which worked okay and could work on the US version with some tweaks

2. Playing with contestants at home through video, which also worked okay and could work on the US versions as a "TPIR at Home" sort of format.

3. Up to 8 of the show's cast and crew acting as the contestants and audience members, playing a few of the pricing games as part of the 'variety' format.

The situation highlights a possible issue with the US version returning: beyond the audience social distancing issues, the show is a large production behind the scenes with lots of different games, organizing prizes, etc. that all still need to be able to be done for the show to be made.

I've gotta say that these two can be the trend for  the show if they'll be modifying the format of the show if they decide to continue it after (even during) this pandemic. Thanks brosa for the info.

Honestly, this seems pretty ridiculous.  There's no reason to think they won't keep producing the show, and there's no reason to think they'll monkey around with the format.  I can maybe see them trying at-home players if they decide they absolutely need to get things up and running again, but I can't imagine they'd upend the whole format just for the sake of producing The Price Is Right if it isn't even going to be The Price Is Right.

Perhaps a bit more, but then again they can get help for many games while in studio, and there is always a chance that someone in the audience knows the answers just as well as a computer.

I suppose if it became necessary (not that it will, but if) they could possibly work out a deal with their affiliates where a contestant and someone from the station could meet (as reporters are already doing for news type reports in some situations), so that the station employee could confirm that the contestant wasn't cheating while still maintaining a safe distance and limiting the interactions to one on one, rather than a large group.

At-home contestants would kill the vibe of the show. I just can’t see it happening, whether it’s technically possible or not.

I’m even willing to make a friendly bet that it will never happen—if anybody wants to call, $10 says that we won’t see at-home contestants play on the US version the next 365 days. Open to anyone on the board, first taker only.

It's interesting how they at least most tried to mirror the US show with the designs. I can't say I've seen all the designs for previous special, but they did here at least, and used the US music too (if edited in a modern-day Family Feud style). Also of note from watching it.....no inspiration putt in Hole in One, and no 2nd putt allowed either.

The selection of the SCSD players are a bit different from the previous incarnations of the show. The three players with the most accurate bids on their One Bid rounds in order from the least to most are the ones to spin the wheel.

The German (with some modifications), British (Crowther era), Mexican, Canadian and Italian version had the American showcase format.

Almost all post-1995 versions followed the format of the showcase of Bruce's Price is Right.

The Australian and Philippine (2001) versions had the Double Bullseye showcase format. It's also possible the the New Zealand version used it too.

That's the period they've introduced the Double Bullseye showcase format along with the price ordering. The original range was $50. This format was carried over to the subsequent versions in 1981, 1989, 1993, 2003 and 2012 with a standard $100 range.

Just to clarify - 90s French Canadian "Misez Juste" had the American showcase format but the 10s French Canadian "Price is Right: A Vous De Jouer" had the TPIR Live format of "one showcase/both players bid in secret".

Also of note, and I suspect was due to budgetary concerns based on ITA rules that limited what you could give away per show over there at the time, the first series of Crowther Price had a rule where you only won everything in your showcase if you bid within 10% of the actual price, similar to the $250 or less/less than $100 away DSW rule here in the States. If you didn't come within that, you only won a portion of it, with the biggest prize not included. Every series after that though had the traditional rules.

El Precio Justo in Argentina has seen an outbreak of COVID-19 amongst its crew and guest participants.   In recent weeks the show had settled into a format of 3 pricing games (played by guests and crew of the show), lots of Clock Game, lots of a tablet stopwatch game and lots of variety segments (Just Dance, cooking, basketball shooting). 

The host, Lizy Tagliani, had also been taking stopwatch game to the streets for random passersby to play it for the show:

It appears Lizy was amongst those who tested positive for the virus initially, but has subsequently tested negative and is recovered.

It is fair (and sad) to say the show has devolved into a hot mess this year, starting with the car promotions at the start of the year taking so much time away from the pricing games, and then particularly since COVID-19.  The show largely exists in name only with very little pricing taking place, and is only on air to take up 2 hours of airtime each day.

A recent episode featured only one actual pricing game. Pretty much filled with exactly what you said. A *bunch* of stopwatch game, both in studio and out on the streets. Two in studio (with one of having some people take multiple turns). Two on the street segments. One of which featured some pricing after playing the stopwatch game. A T/F with one GP. Then, after they did a bunch of solo Clock Game, they also did a group Clock Game where everyone stood around a prize and had 60 seconds to zero in on price with each person (out of like five) giving a bid one at a time.

Definitely a shell of itself right now, but a recent tweet I saw suggested that it was one of the popular afternoon programs down there.

Good day to all! After going down some promo clips of the Aussie PIR on YouTube, here are some interesting screengrabs of games that you haven't seen on the collages here on this thread!

I've seen this a long time ago, and found it once again just now, the 1984 Aussie Any Number:

A quick side view of what I assume is Switcheroo:

Here's the cool green-yellow scheme of Hole in One:
(https://i.postimg.cc/g2zvW7y3/Screenshot-20200630-214223.jpg)

Their "2 Price Tags" prop, yes, it's called that way, and Ian acknowledged it as a difficult game!
(https://i.postimg.cc/nrwCfdnG/Screenshot-20200630-215907.jpg)

The game turned out to be a win.
(https://i.postimg.cc/13K495Rz/Screenshot-20200630-215948.jpg)

The last of the 1980s pics is their giant price tag.

In 1993, Price came back to the Aussie airwaves. Here are some games on a clip of their "coming soon" promo:

The Cover Up board (which we thought we only saw on the 2003-06 version):

A glimpse of the Safe Crackers safe:

Here's a part of the 'ol Money Game played for what I believe is a bathtub:

And a rather different color scheme of the Showcase board:
(https://i.postimg.cc/ncywHpRN/Screenshot-20200630-215106.jpg)

All these pics are assumed to be from a test pilot since the home base here is pink rather than the blue one from the series.

Finally, another shot of the Money Game board from a different vid. What's up with the all double zeroes down there?

I think I actually admire this set over the current US Plinko set.  Well, just the color scheme; definitely not the structure.  Though the structure isn't awful.  A touch up would be favorable.  Maybe add some violet to the board, I don't know.  Otherwise Vietnam Plinko is okay

Just came across the Indonesian version's YouTube channel, and it seems that they have revived the series amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, with contestants observing physical distancing (they've removed the audience seats). A new host, announcer, opening theme, along with some cosmetic changes. They got rid of the US-style titles and replaced it with a similar 3-D logo. Here's a pic of a refurbished Punchboard and their Big Wheel.

The golden door frames were really neat, along with the shades of colors of the big doors. Also, there was another video of a "giveaway" portion somehow made as a pricing game with two contestants. Not pretty sure how it worked, but here's the clip:

Any Number
https://imgur.com/iTBnz8e or see attachment.

Minor correction here: the "Australia '90s" set is actually the one from the '00s revival. This is actually the 90s version (or rather, one of them; it was originally sapphire blue but I haven't been able to find footage of that version).

(https://i.imgur.com/lZ8Ju7U_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium)

With the help of this thread, I've been trying to work out why I don't like Do the Math very much (even though I think the concept is fine), and I think it's that the games of the Bob era tend to be elegant but generic enough that you can update the sets as they start to show their age (or, indeed, localise them for different countries), while all the Drew-era games except Do the Math and mayyyybe Vend-O-Price are designed with such a focus on the visuals as part of the game that it's almost impossible to imagine what could be done to refresh, say, Hot Seat in twenty years. But Do the Math feels like they're trying to do a Bob-era set with no understanding of what makes them charming.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: theamazingracer on October 29, 2020, 10:57:02 PM
Also the 90s version of Cliff Hangers was different. In fact, I'm pretty sure this was the only 1990s game that got a whole new set for the 2000s version instead of just repainting the one in storage. Excluding the showcase's new board (which was based on the old one anyway), the ONLY other major physical changes to any of the 25 sets are Any Number's spikes being removed and Make Your Move getting a new sign.

(https://i.imgur.com/HfZy7Uk_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium)

But it's not the only new set a game got for the 2000s revival. One Dollar Deal/Lucky Seven was modified slightly when they redid the studio and the weird stockticker thing they added blocked its name sign from the camera, and Side by Side of all things got repainted.

Following from a post above, I found it interesting that most of the games for this year's TPIR Indonesia revival were refurbished/rebuilt and not just re-used from their last series just 2 years ago, although I suppose that might be because it was on a different network.   It appears that the latest series didn't last too long, finishing at the end of October.

Below are the refurbished games that were posted on Youtube - 2018 series on the left; 2020 on the right.

I like the look of their show logo for 2020, otherwise I think for the most part the previous pricing game sets were better. For Lucky $even, is the contestant pricing the combined total of the prizes offered or one prize at a time?
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: theamazingracer on December 10, 2020, 06:02:23 AM
I'm the opposite I think - I like the weird 3D effect on the old doors, but the only new game set I like less than the old one is More or Less (and that's only because Comic Sans is of the devil, otherwise I'd like it more too). Otherwise I think they strike the right balance between being inspired by the US version and being a knockoff, where the 2018 sets play it too close to the original and suffer as a result.

I was watching an episode on YT of France's Le Juste Prix (2010s version) and there is a game that's called "Pousse des dés" (Pushing of the Dice), it's based on "Push Over" but with 3 prizes - 2 3 digit prizes and one four digit prize.  Each Prize has its own set of blocks to push over.  I don't know if you can win just one or two prizes in this version.

That sounds a little like Make Your Move in a way, just different with the separate sets of blocks.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: brosa0 on January 04, 2021, 02:52:05 PM
It's really just Push Over x 3.

It's been good to see some extra shows posted online of that show as it's meant a better look at some of the games.

One in particular is Le Gratte Gratte, which according to lejusteprixtv.com was originally based on Double Digits.   

However, it was retooled into a much different game when France put all of their games on steroids in 2010-2011.

(https://i.imgur.com/xyJlp4C.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/wTstkxT.jpg)

In the game, the contestant has to arrange the four digits of the main prize to make up the correct price.   They can earn more attempts to do this via four small items to price, with the options for each one being a reverse of each other (e.g. 45 or 54).  Some of the window panes grant 1 extra attempt at pricing the main prize, while the rest are empty. For each small item they guess correctly, they get 10 seconds to wipe as many windows on the board clean as possible to try and reveal the panes that grant the extra attempts.

Post by: rn on January 05, 2021, 09:00:23 PM
The French version also has a home game That's basically "Shell Game" with cards with the models pictures on the them.  Choose the one with the blonde model, the winner is drawn by random selection of the people who guessed right.

In the one episode that I saw, Master Key was revealed during the intro.  With the prizes that the contestant wins, the lock "Explodes".

The win range appears to be $3,000-$4,000, so I would say yes. Using a price that is already in the winning range is rather clearly setting it up to be lost, and I do believe that Roger would have considered it cheating.

Here are some more games from one of my favourite international TPIR series, Spain, that I haven't posted previously.

Caja De Musica - plays like Shell Game
(https://i.imgur.com/e6xsMte.jpg)

3 In A Row - UK game
(https://i.imgur.com/3lBmtXa.jpg)

Los 10 Negritos - not a pricing game at all, but still fun nevertheless.  The contestant draws one ball at a time from a box of 10 balls that are numbered 0-9.  After each draw they have to place the numbered ball as one of the first four digits of the cash amount, with the caveat of placing all four numbers in order from highest (1st digit) to lowest (4th digit). If they can do that, they win the cash equivalent of the number they've created.  e.g. if they've drawn 3, 6, 9 and placed them as the first three digits (963_) then they must draw a 0, 1 or 2 on the final draw to be able to place it as the fourth digit and win.
(https://imgur.com/G5sgtMW.jpg)

DGT-sponsored game - DGT is the government department responsible for traffic/road network in Spain.  There are four small prizes that the contestant uses to move their car along the road (you can see four different-coloured segments for the path).  At the start of each road segment, a short PSA for different traffic signals/rules is played, followed by the small prize being presented.  If the contestant correctly chooses higher or lower, their car continues down the road to the next segment and the cash amount at the bottom of the board increases.  If they get a small prize wrong at any time, they lose the main prize (a car in the playing I saw) and win the cash amount that is displayed.

A little bit. Six prizes are represented by two panels each and the player picks two panels. If they pick two that don't match, the one revealed earliest is covered back up and they must try and pair the other panel with something that hasn't been revealed yet (and can then only choose a re-covered panel to end the game with a match). Find a matching pair at any point to win the corresponding prize and end the game; pair two empty panels or try to pair something you've already seen but get it wrong and you win nothing.

So basically you can only win one out of six prizes, but also they're lousy prizes anyway. There's a UK playing on Youtube where the prizes include a CD player, a backgammon set, and a silver serving tray.

To be fair the UK version (that one anyway) pretty much ONLY had lousy prizes outside of the showcase round, because of the budget restraints forced on them. So you can't really place that on this one game in this instance.

That seems like the UK's answer to Any Number in a way. In the sense that you only can win one of the prizes offered (situations where only one prize out of a set is offered after the fact), or nothing.

The odd thing is the doors spun in the 1980s version, slid sideways in the brief 1989 revival, then spun again in the 1990s and 2000s versions.

Been catching up on some recent episodes from Portgual's series, and a few new(?) games that I haven't posted before caught my eye.

Danger Price
(https://i.imgur.com/QzfQcWH.jpg)

Goling - a game from the 2015 French series, where the contestant has to roll a ball through the path and land it on the hole/groove at the end of the path.  The most recent playing of this game was particularly embarrassing for the contestant: on their second roll, the contestant didn't even get the ball up the loop, then on their third and final roll, their "roll" was more an underarm lob that missed the path completely, bouncing once on the prop then away off camera along the ground.

Bowling

Walk The Line - same gameplay as the UK/Australian game

Also just wanted to point out how ridiculously cramped the current Hole In One staging is:

Drew would love the Bowling game to be brought over here. Portugal seems to have a thing for games with game/sport elements.

How big is the size of the Portugal set? It looks like every game you posted is played in the same space. That Mini Golf/Hole in One set couldn't be any smaller, it's like the original Let em Roll setup here.

Some shots of the set and games from Spain's upcoming series.  They've only recently started taping.  The female assistant/model in the Hole In One shot is the host's stepdaughter.  Cliff Hangers has been mentioned in articles as one of the games. 

Many of these come from promo videos on the show's website (https://www.telecinco.es/el-precio-justo/mecanica-concurso_18_3114570086.html) and twitter account (https://twitter.com/preciojustotv).

So Spain's series ended up being short-lived, cancelled on 18th June after just 47 episodes due to poor ratings.  Somewhat amusingly, they still released an official board game for the series in November:

(https://i.imgur.com/IbdNtt4.jpg)


However, Romania premiered a new TPIR series Pretul Cel Bun on 6 September, which is currently still airing.

Below are shots of all the games I could find, as well as the set.   As you can see, it is quite faithful to the look of US TPIR.

There are plenty of videos of the series on their Youtube and Facebook accounts:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqdCmUUNVOcjEEryu_dizYQ/videos
https://www.facebook.com/watch/PretulCelBun/

They appear to upload the first segment (8-15 minutes) for most episodes to those channels, along with highlights and promos.

A couple of other random shots of a few of the games.   There has already been a slight change to the look of the cash amounts on the Plinko board, as well as the staging of Easy as 123 (the podium the blocks start on is now between two of the prizes).  Plus a nice front on shot of Hi Lo :)

Agreed, after watching it a bit more I love their set.   I think it's a nice mix of the US and modern international/French TPIR sets.   Given how similar the game props are to the US version, it's fun to see what a lot of these games look like being played centre stage.

Croatia's version of Clock Game is what our current version should look like--retro-flavored, but with a modern clock face and enlarged for HD.

I'm still stumped by what game they're playing in the fourth pic down--"Vrijednost" translates to "value," so that's no help. Is it a one-person Showcase round?
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: brosa0 on January 23, 2022, 02:32:36 PM
Yes, that's one of the standard showcase rounds for many international series.   They first press a button to randomly select a range from (usually) 9 options, then have to price the showcase within that range without going over to win it.  The values and the yellow highlighted square are rapidly changing until they press the button.

Croatia's set is certainly interesting, though I do find the middle panels of their big doors being the same like that kinda weird...

Much weirder though is that they decided to make that middle part of Door 1 (and ONLY Door 1) blue, but only for Plinko?  Who decided that was a good idea?  The blue part of Door 1 in the Plinko pics just looks super tacked-on...

Partners:

It's hard to say how exactly this game works from the video, other than there are two contestants involved and three pairs of prices.   Seems like it might be inspired by the Phone Home Game?

A full playing of Partners can be seen on this video:

It seems to be inspired by The Phone Home Game, but here's the information about the gameplay:

The One Bid winner chooses his partner from among the volunteers in the audience.

- The two contestants are faced with three pairs of items. The contestant then chooses the prize they would most like to win.

- The item is described, and the audience member is shown three possible prices, and chooses one, which they think is the price of the item the contestant chose. Leslie asks the contestant if they would agree with the audience member's choice, or choose a different price. This process carries on until the third pair of items.

- Leslie would then check the actual prices of the three items the contestant chose. If the price the audience member chose matched the contestant's chosen item's price, they would both have won the said item.
Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: JhayPrice on March 05, 2022, 02:07:52 AM
Tic Tac Toe:
According to Wikipedia, this was a variation on Secret X.

But as for the rules of Tic Tac Toe, it can be said that it is a variation of Secret X mixed with a little On The Nose based on the rules below:

- An item is described, and three possible prices are shown to the contestant.

- What they have to do is to select the price they think is the correct one to earn three "TOE" cards and the item. If they choose the nearest price, they do not win the item, but they do win two cards, and the furthest gets them only one card.

- To win the main prize (not the item they chose the price of), the contestant must place their "TOE" cards in four rotating tumblers that contain the words "TIC" and "TAC" as well as images of fruit similar to slot machines (lemons, plums, and cherries).

- Leslie spins the tumblers one at a time. If the contestant had placed a "TOE" card on the winning tumbler that would show "TIC-TAC-TOE", they would win the main prize. The three non-winning tumblers only contain a pair of fruit and "TIC," or a a pair of fruit and "TAC."

Title: Re: Pricing Games Around The World
Post by: brosa0 on March 07, 2022, 05:13:54 AM
Thanks for posting those, and for the reminder of how bonkers and creative the Leslie-hosted version of TPIR was.

Partners is like a lot of the new games in this version - a few great concepts in there but it doesn't entirely hit the mark.   Having the main contestant choose between two prizes and the second contestant selecting the correct price from three options is great, and giving the first contestant a 'right of reply' as to whether they agree with that price is particularly interesting. 

However, it seems a little bit flawed to ask the first contestant whether they'd rather choose "the higher price" or "the lower price" instead of the chosen price, when the second contestant could well have chosen the highest or lowest of the three options.   A better option would've been for Leslie to say upfront that the second contestant will select one of three prices, and that you must decide whether the actual price is higher, lower or on the nose.   Or alternatively - ask the second contestant to select two of the three prices that they think are most likely the price, then have the first contestant select one of those two as the price of the item.  That way they both still have a say in the final outcome.


And yes as you say, Tic Tac Toe applies the On The Nose-style pricing portion to the Secret X/Joker main game where the contestant can earn all but one of the available options to win the main prize.   I actually really like the concept of combining those ideas, although I really dislike the staging of the game.

Man, I really miss that style of Clock Game. I do love how they added gear thingies to accentuate the base of the prop, but I don't quite get their point of doing so.

As a side note, I think that the show has sourced its fonts from the TPIR font repository. It's the only place I know of that has the font for the classic Lucky Seven numbers that they use on their Showcase board, the custom 3 Strikes logo font, and one for the eggcrate displays!

Someone posted the premiere of the Italian version earlier this year or late last year, and it was two hours long as well, but only had 8 games.  I barely made it through that, so this seems like a bigger slog.  I wonder how they'll pull it off, it will be interesting to see.  This was one of the first international versions of Price I learned about when I joined the fandom years ago, so I'm glad to see it coming back again.  I've enjoyed this topic, it's been interesting to see the different interpretations of not just the games, but the show as a whole in different countries.

It's great to see more of the Greek version. 

The Afghan version is everything I love about checking out all the various international editions with such a different presentation to any other version of the show.  It's quite amusing how dreadful the quality of the pricing game graphics are compared to the reasonably nice looking set that is around the monitor.  Also, this is the first time I've seen an international Side By Side based on its new US design.

I find it interesting how so many current adaptations of TPIR in other countries make such an effort to mostly replicate the props from the U.S. version. Even though the aesthetic of the U.S. version is "These games were designed in different years across multiple decades with no unifying theme."

When four-digit Pathfinder is played with the contestant starting on the first digit, it's impossible for the path to reach the four corner spaces.
