Pricing games are a feature of the game show The Price Is Right.

The contestant from Contestants' Row who places the winning bid has the chance to win a large prize such as a car, a trip, or cash. Only one contestant at a time is involved in a pricing game, and tends to get the unanimous support of the audience. After the pricing game ends, a new contestant is selected for Contestants' Row, and the process begins again. Six pricing games are played on each hour-long episode; three games per episode were played in the half-hour format.

103 games have been played on the show: 69 are in the current rotation, 2 are on hiatus, and 32 have been retired.^{[citation needed]}

Currently, on a typical episode, two games (one in each half of the show) will be played for a car. One game will be played for a cash prize, and the other three for merchandise or trips. One of the six games will involve grocery products, and time permitting, another will involve "small prizes" worth between approximately $5 and $300, which are used to win a larger prize.
