1 Right Price is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on September 11, 1975, it is played for two prizes, generally valued between $1,500 and $8,000 each.
[edit] Gameplay
The contestant is shown a price and two prizes, and is asked to determine which prize it belongs to. A correct decision wins both prizes.
The game is the antithesis of another pricing game, Double Prices, in which there are two prices for one prize.
[edit] History
1 Right Price and Double Prices shared their first three sets before they got their own props. 1 Right Price continued to use its third set for slightly over a year after Double Prices received its own prop.
On July 9, 2008, 1 Right Price was played for the 1,000th time in Price history.
[edit] Foreign versions
While the game is played on several versions of Price outside of the United States, the UK's most recent incarnation took a different approach by introducing an entirely separate pricing game with the same name.
This version of 1 Right Price is played for one prize. The contestant is shown three possible prices for it, each with the same ones and tens digits, and must guess which one is correct in order to win it. While called 1 Right Price, the game is actually a variation of Double Prices (essentially, "Triple Prices").
