Gallery Game

Gallery Game

Gallery Game was a pricing game on the American television game show, "The Price Is Right". Played from the Season 19 premiere on September 10, 1990 to April 11, 1991, it was played for a large prize, usually worth more than $3,000. It was created by producer Roger Dobkowitz.

Gameplay

The contestant was shown a painting of the prize being played for. Below the painting was most of the price - three complete digits and a partially completed fourth digit. The contestant had to "paint" in the rest of the digit with a marker (accomplained by the "Alla Hornpipe" movement of Handel's Water Music). A correct choice won the prize.

The partial fourth digit usually had a distinguishing mark completed, in order to reduce the field of possible answers, such as a horizontal line across the top, indicating a 5 or 7.

Retirement

No official reason has been given for its retirement. It is one of only four pricing games that premiered in the 1990s to be retired (the other three being Joker, Split Decision and Fortune Hunter).
