Everything about Pass The Buck Pricing Game totally explained
Pass the Buck is a
pricing game on the
American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on
October 4,
2001, it's played for a car and a cash prize of up to $9,000, and uses grocery items.
Gameplay
The contestant is shown two pairs of grocery items, one pair at time. One of the items in each pair displays the correct price, while the other is discounted $1. The contestant must "pass the buck" to the item which is discounted so that both display the correct price.
For each correct decision, the contestant earns a pick from the six numbers on the game board, which is added to one free pick they're given to start the game. Concealed behind the six numbers are: a picture of a car, $1,000, $3,000, $5,000, and two spaces marked "Lose Everything". The contestant makes one pick at a time and accumulates whatever prizes they reveal. If they reveal "Lose Everything", they lose their accumulated prizes, but may start again if they still have picks remaining. The contestant may also quit after each pick instead of risking their winnings.
The most money a contestant can win in Pass The Buck is $9,000 by revealing all three dollar values. The contestant can also win up to $8,000 and the car.
