$1 in 1973 (when the game premiered) is over $7 today.  Just multiply the range / scale by 10 and call it a day.  For close calls, either round every prize to the nearest $10 or do what is standard practice now and have the host make the call.

This would work for me.

What do ya think?

We're on the same page. I did have 1994's Showcase game partially in mind, too.

As I said above, I do understand the reasoning behind the function Range Game fulfills as it is now. I just view it through the lens of the question, "how can it be changed to require more attention to the actual prices?"

I think my suggestion of a fluctuating range coupled to an accordingly fluctuating Rangefinder could actually help the game fit into more situations, tbh. It's arguably struggling to fit just one certain group of prizes right now with the $600 range/$150 Rangefinder, but with flexibility it could theoretically offer virtually any kind of prize.

You can clearly see who remembered the John Lennon suite in Montreal has been consistently 20k, and who did not. 9821 and I also knew the Ford Bronco, but I overshot 1 just a bit with, honestly, a cheap Fiji despite the copy, so down I go. 9821 and pannoni DSW cash.
