Push Over

Push Over

Push Over is a pricing game on the American television game show "The Price Is Right". Debuting on March 3, 1999, it is played for a four-digit prize worth more than $3,000; a five-digit version is sometimes played with a grand prize of a car, trailer, or boat. The game was created by producer Roger Dobkowitz. [http://www.golden-road.net/index.php?topic=6912.0 ]

Gameplay

The contestant is shown a row of nine numbered blocks, which are comprised of the price of the prize (in order) and other decoy blocks at the beginning and/or end of the price. The last four digits (or five in the case of a five-digit price) are marked by a colored window.

The contestant must push the blocks until the correct price is showing in the window. If they are correct, they win the prize. Any blocks that are pushed beyond the window fall into a box, permanently out of play, and cannot be recovered. During the game's first playing (and a few others after that), Bob Barker joked that the blocks cannot be retrieved because they "go to China" and even went so far as to look down inside the box and said he saw people eating chow mein.

The first price shown in the line has never been the correct price. [ [http://www.golden-road.net/grnoldx/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8608&highlight=dob+push Q&A with Roger Dobkowitz #3] Dead link|date=April 2008]
