Another idea or 2...

The Golden Grahams GOLDEN ROAD
The American Express CHECK GAME
Planters SHELL GAME
Square D's SWITCH & SWITCHEROO (a little obscure -- they manufacture fuse boxes and the like)
J.C. Penney's PENNY ANTE
The Moen SHOWER GAME (maker of fine bathroom fixtures)
Major League Baseball's TRIPLE PLAY

I hope these haven't been done...

Texas Instruments' Add 'Em Up
Croton's Time is Money
Spray and Wash's On the Spot
The Flying Wallendas' The Balance Game
The J Geils Band's Freeze Frame
Hooters' Pick-a-Pair (think about it)
Victoria's Secret's Squeeze Play (it only makes sense if they sell girdles)

OK, I think this one needs a little explaining--since when has TPiR had a game called the Shower Game? Or am I worthy of a WHOOOOOOOSH!?

1978. They played it about two times, and it's never been aired anywhere since.

Ah, I see. I wasn't born yet (and if you believe that, I have some swampland in New Jersey. . .).

Well, since we're invoking retired games, I can't believe anyone hasn't come up with the E.T. PHONE HOME GAME.

How wuz Shower Game played? ;-)

Bob told Dian to meet him in his dressing room after each TPiR taping. If she did, he'd give her something out of his pocket...not a $100 bill.

That was the more commonly played version. The lesser-played version, from Tony Harrison's site:

Quote

Shower Game (retired)
Five showers stood on the stage, each marked with a different possible price for a car. One shower was correct, the two next closest price showers won the player $100, the remaining two sprayed the contestant with confetti. Player could jump into showers until winning the car or getting sprayed.

All I can think of is incredibly obscure stuff. Like this:

If anyone else gets that, there are plenty of seats in the Ruckus Room.
