Title: TPiR Pricing Game
Post by: TravisP on October 27, 2006, 12:51:15 PM

We've had a pricing game debut over here today, but I'm not sure if you guys have had it first or if its an original.

The game is called Find the Lady, which is a bit like Joker. There are four fez's where in each one is a playing card, to win you need to find the "The Lady" (Queen of Hearts). You got three chances to choose up to three hats. For each one you need to guess if an item's real price is lower or higher than the false price displayed.

Sounds an awful lot like Shell Game (which we've had forever and a day), but with three chances instead of four and fez's instead of shells.

It sounds like it was inspired by Shell Game (http://\"http://gscentral.net/shell.htm\"), except in our Shell Game, the contestant can win up to four choices.

Yep, exactly the same format to here but as mentioned we got four fez's instead of shells. Thanks!

Hmm...can't place the game, but the fez is familiar!

Except that it's worse than "Shell Game": you can know all the pricing information, and still lose the game through sheer bad luck (much like "Secret X" or "Half Off").
