Triple Play (pricing game)
- Triple Play (pricing game)
Triple Play is a pricing game on the American television game show "The Price Is Right". Debuting on the Season 29 premiere on October 2, 2000, this game is played for three cars.
Gameplay
Each of the cars is played for one at a time, starting with the lowest-priced. For the first car, the contestant is shown two prices, neither of which is correct. The contestant selects the price which they believe is nearer to the actual price of the car without going over.
A correct decision moves the player on to the second car, with three price tags and the same rules, then to the third car with four price tags. Any wrong decision ends the game and the contestant wins nothing. The contestant is not allowed to stop, and must "win" all three cars one at a time.
History
Triple Play was created by original "Price Is Right" host Bob Barker, who wanted a game that had a car behind each of the three big doors on the show's stage. The game was originally conceived with the title "Slam Dunk" and in which only one of the cars could be won.
Originally, the game's logo appeared behind all three cars. The signs behind the first two cars were later removed as to not prematurely spoil the surprise of the game after the first car is shown. In addition, each of the three cars is described as the contestant progresses.
This is one of three pricing game to use a baseball reference in its name; the other two are 3 Strikes and Squeeze Play.
