A new series of The Price Is Right Indonesia premiered last week (as did a new one in Serbia).  This is the third separate series for Indonesia since 2016.  They seemingly built new props for all the games each time, so I thought I'd post the games aired so far from the new series and their counterparts from the previous two series for comparison.

IMO Shopping Spree is the only set improvement from that collection. They really call the Showcase round "End Game" there?

That invoked memories of Bert Convy’s Super Password.

Holy crap -- am I seeing things, or are they using the Australian Showcase?

The showcase breakdown is something I would like to see in our version. Not worth squeezing more time out of the show, but perhaps it could be posted on the rear screen during the credits so diehards could pause it to see what everything cost.

They sure are - I think the only other country to use it was Thailand in 2003.

As mentioned, Serbia's first TPIR series 'Pogodi cenu tačno' premiered on the same day.  Unfortunately the episodes are geoblocked, but below are screenshots of the show and its games I could find from trailers and social media.  I think this is the first time Check Game has been adapted for an international series since the 90s.

that's actually the Aussie showcase round they're doing, ... as in "The $500,000 Mega Showcase" that produced the WORLD record for winnings until the Drew Carey MDS trio of 7 digit winners happened in 2008 (which Steve pointed out in the post above yours)

This 2026, more international games are coming your way!

After searching episodes of various international editions, here are some of the pricing games I've found:

UK - Crowther era (1984)

These are games from the early days of the Leslie Crowther era in 1984. They are from different episodes from the series available on YouTube. I quite like the mini doors they used for Lucky Seven before changing into a smaller stand prop.

UK - Warman era (1989)

In this August 1989 episode of the next version with Bob (Warman), you can see a rare playing of Plinko. They played the game for a major prize and the rest of the slots have £50 and £0 (the chip going down the board also sounds like that of the original US Plinko board for some reason).

Australia - Turpie era (1983)

Lovely shots of the sets of Safe Crackers and Switcheroo from Ian Turpie's The New Price Is Right in 1983.

Philippines - Zulueta era (2002)

Finally, we have some games from a rare 2002 episode of the first Philippine version of the show hosted by Dawn Zulueta! The episode is a Halloween special, which explains Dawn's and the contestants' costumes. The set reminds me of a smaller, but more colorful Bruce's Price Is Right stage, and I particularly like the color pattern present on the props.
