About This Quiz
We love "The Price Is Right" for its ability to stay true to its 1970s cheese factor. The lights, bells, whistles and games always have us captivated. While everyone wants to play Plinko, we all know that it's better to play the games that don't rely on chance to win. Though not everyone can be like Ted Slauson and memorize every price for every item up for bid, we sure like to think that we can take on that show, no matter what game we have to play.Â
Whether you're old enough to remember the Bob Barker days or you're a true Drew fan, you can probably recognize most of the games that you see on the show, but do you know the difference between Dice Game and Let 'em Roll? Do you think you have what it takes to play all of these "The Price Is Right" games and succeed on the show? Let's see if you have the game show know-how to get to the showcase showdown and find out if you know all of these games from "The Price Is Right." You probably won't win "A NEW CAR!" but you'll get the bragging rights that you deserve in the end.
Punch a Bunch
Punch a Bunch is all about finding the dollar amounts that you want. You can win punches by playing a side pricing game. While the majority of people win around $1,000 on this game, players can win up to $25,000.

Plinko is the game that everyone wants to play, and the game that everyone wants to watch someone else play. This is because it is one of the only "Price Is Right" games that relies solely on chance (unless you're a Plinko master).

Lucky Seven
Lucky Seven is a game that starts the contestant off with seven dollars. They are supposed to guess the numbers in the price of a car, and if they are off, they have to pay the host one dollar for each digit they're off. It's usually pretty easy in the beginning, but gets much more difficult with the next digits. At the end, they can buy the car if they have at least one dollar!

Clock Game
This classic game has been played on "The Price Is Right" since 1972. The funny thing is that the board for this game wasn't updated until 2014. It was given a full makeover, but it is still played the same way.
