It's in the Bag is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on September 26, 1997, it is played for a cash prize of $16,000, and uses grocery items. It's in the Bag was created by former producer Roger Dobkowitz[citation needed].
Beginning with Season 33's Million Dollar Spectaculars, It's in the Bag's top prize in prime time is $24,000. All of the prize values leading up to the final bag are the same as in daytime.
[edit] Gameplay
The contestant is shown six grocery items and five grocery bags. Each bag has a price on it which corresponds with one of the six grocery items. One item's price is not listed on any bag.
One by one, the contestant must choose the item that matches the price on each bag. Then, the item inside the first bag is revealed. If it matches the chosen item, they win $1,000. Each successive bag is a double-or-nothing proposition, up to $16,000 for the final bag, with the option to quit before revealing any bag. However, if the contestant is wrong at any point, the game ends, and he/she loses everything.
[edit] Foreign versions
On the Netherlands Cash en Carlo, the money increases from €500, €1,000, €2,000, €3,500 to €6,000.
On Mexico's Atinale al Precio the money values increase from MX$2,000, MX$4,000, MX$8,000, MX$16,000, to MX$32,000.
