Hi Lo
Published March 31st, 2008 in UncategorizedHi Lo is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on April 9, 1973, it is played for a prize, worth between $2,500 and $10,000, and uses grocery items.
Gameplay
The contestant is shown six grocery items, and is asked to select what they think are the three highest-priced items, and their prices are revealed. If all three remaining items are priced lower than the least expensive of the selected items, the contestant wins.
Historical
The first and possibly second playings of Hi Lo had different rules. The contestant selected an item, its price was revealed, and they then guessed whether it was one of the three more expensive items or one of the three less expensive items; this continued until either all six items were correctly placed or a mistake was discovered.
There have been three Hi Lo sets. The first one was orange colored and lasted five years. The second one was white and clear and was introduced in 1978. The third set, introduced on October 26, 1990, is blue colored and is still in use.
