Line em Up is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on March 10, 1998, it is played for a car plus three additional prizes: one worth between $10 and $98, and two worth between $300 and $1,000. The game was created by producer Kathy Greco and is based on an idea by former Goodson-Todman staffer Chris Clementson.
[edit] Game play
The contestant is shown a game board which displays the first and last digits in the price of the car. Between these digits are the prices of the other three prizes, each of which contain one of the other three digits in the price of the car. The contestant must slide these prices horizontally so that the digits in the price of the car line up vertically in a yellow frame. The first and third prizes always have three-digit prices, while the second has a two-digit price.
If the contestant correctly lines up all three prices, the contestant wins the car and the prizes. Otherwise, the contestant is told how many (but not specifically which) of the digits are correctly placed. Knowing only this, the contestant then has one more opportunity to line up the prices and win the car and prizes as before. If the contestant does not get the price right the second time, the game ends.
