Shower Game

Shower Game

Shower Game was a pricing game on the American television game show, "The Price Is Right". Played from September 4 to November 30, 1978, it was played for a car or $100 cash.

Gameplay

Six shower stalls were set up onstage, arranged in a row as in a locker room. Each stall had a possible price of the car attached to it.

The contestant had to enter the stall bearing the correct price and pull a chain attached to the shower head. If they chose correctly, a giant key lowered from the stall's ceiling, and the contestant won the car.

The five other showers were randomly divided into three which showered the contestant with confetti and two which showered them with 100 $1 bills. If the contestant selected a confetti shower, they could continue the game and choose another shower. If, however, the contestant selected a money shower, the game ended, and the contestant left with only the $100.

Retirement

Shower Game was retired due to negative feedback from many Jewish viewers and in-studio audience members. They complained that the game's setup and structure reminded them of the Holocaust, which had ended less than 35 years earlier.Fact|date=July 2007
