This is yet another game that isn't to be found hiding behind anything--it just "appears" on stage. This is the skeeball game that used to be on "The Price is Right," but it is now retired. I'd like to know why it was retired--it was one of my favorite pricing games. Maybe it'll make a comeback one day (in my dreams!). Anyway, this game had four small prizes. To win the balls that went with the three prizes and the superball, the contestant had to correctly guess which price of two prices was correct. After the first three prizes, the contestant tried to get the balls into the "WIN" circle (there were also $50 and $100 circles). Like for Hole in One, Bob gives a demonstration throw. After this, Bob gives the contestant a practice ball (being a skeeball lover, this should help greatly--I always need to get a "feel" for the particular skeeball set). Then the contestant tries to get in whichever of the 3 balls s/he won into the "WIN" circle. After this, the fourth prize is shown with the superball. If the contestant wins this ball and gets it into the "WIN" circle, s/he wins all three prizes. If the contestant gets the superball into $50 or $100, s/he gets 3x that amount. And if the contestant has already won all three prizes and gets the superball into the win circle, s/he wins an additional $3000! |

For guessing which price of the two shown is right for the smaller prizes, look at the last digits of them. The one that ends in 0 or 5 is probably right. If one ends in 9, that might be right too. If neither ends in 0, 5, or 9, the right price is usually the one that ends in an odd number. For getting the balls into the "WIN" circle, throw the balls straight and from the center. Since I've never been on "The Price is Right," much less played this game, I couldn't tell you how much power to give the ball, but you can determine that with the practice ball. |
