Come on Down! Trivia Quiz

Answer: It's In The Bag

The contestant has to correctly match up the five products and prices, and leave the sixth grocery item out, as it does not match up to the five prices. The game is set up so only one product matches up with one price; there is only one winning combination.

When the contestant thinks they have matched up correctly, the host reveals the first item. If it was correctly matched, the contestant wins $1,000. The contestant can decide to walk with the money, or keep going. After each correct pairing, the winnings total doubles ($2,000, $4,000 up to $16,000 for all five). If one is wrong, the player loses everything.

Answer: Easy as 1,2,3!

Prizes such as television, furniture and products worth $1,000-$5,000 are usually used as prizes in this game. Unlike different games, if the contestant gets one right, they do not win that prize only, all three have to be correct.

Answer: Punch a Bunch

In Punch-a-Bunch, the contestant is first shown four items, and they have to determine if the actual retail value is more or less than a given price. For each time, they are correct, they win a punch on the 5x10 punchboard. Behind each hole is a slit of paper with a prize amount, anywhere from $1 to the top prize of $25,000.

The host reveals the prize one at a time, and the contestant can choose to leave with the amount on the paper, or try their luck on the next hole. A contestant can only win the money from one hole, they aren't tallied up.

A few holes have "Second Chance" pieces, where contestants can punch another hole to see what is behind there.

Answer: Car

In "Any Number", the host would reveal the first digit in the price of the car, and then introduce a three digit price, and a three digit cash amount (the first digit being dollars, and the other two in cents). With the ten empty spots, the contestant has to guess the digits from 0-9, and when the price of one of the three prizes is full, the contestant walks with that prize.

In the early days of the show, car prices were only four numbers (remember, then?), the first number was not revealed, and the contestant had to start guessing from the start.

Answer: Three Strikes

In this game, five discs (each one with a number in the price of a car on them), and three with an X on them. They are put in a bag and shuffled, where the contestant blindly draws them out. If they pull a number, they have to correctly guess where in the price that number fits. If they're right, that number is lit up on the gameboard, but if they are wrong it goes back in the bag.

The game finishes when the three strikes are pulled, or if the contestant guesses the full price of the car, and win it as their prize.

This game usually features luxury cars as prizes, as it is one of the harder pricing games on the show.

Answer: Pass The Buck

At the start of the game, the player gets one guess on the board. They can win two extra picks based on correctly guessing which of two grocery items is $1 more than the shown price twice. The game used to feature eight squares (with a third lose everything and a $2000).

The contestant also did not get a free pick, and a third pair of grocery products was used. The most you can win is a car and $8000, or $9000 in all money.

Answer: Cliff Hanger

At the start of the game, the mountain climber sits at the bottom of a 25 step mountain. The contestant is shown three small prizes, and must guess the price. For every dollar, they are off, above or below, the climber climbs one step up the hill. After the three prizes, if the climber is still going up the hill, the player wins a large prize on the stage, plus the three small prizes. If the climber reaches the top, and falls off on the board, the player wins the prizes that they've already guessed.

The mountain climber does not have a name, although hosts throughout the years have given it a few different names.

Answer: Golf

Although wrestling would help with the rating, the game is "Hole in One" (or Two). The contestant lines up the six products in order of their price, each one closer to the hole. The prices are revealed down the line, and when one price revealed is lower than the previous one, the contestant has to putt from there. If the player miss their first shot, they get a second shot.

A sunken putt means the player wins a car.

Answer: Pathfinder

The first digit in the five number price of the car is in the center square, and the player needs to determine which of the four adjacent squares (diagonal is not an option) is the price of the car. If the player steps on a wrong square, they must go back, and to continue, they are shown one of three small prizes, and two prices for each product. To keep going in the game, the competitor must correctly pick the price of the item based on the two prizes.

A correct guess wins the small prize, and a correct path wins the car.

When all three prizes have been guessed, and the contestant steps on another wrong square, the game is over.

Answer: $10,000

The player is shown four small prizes worth between $10-$99, and have to decide which of the two digits in the prize is wrong. A correct selection wins a chip for the Plinko board. Four picks, plus one guaranteed, means the contestant can have five chips to drop down the board. The center $10,000 slot means a maximum $50,000 maximum prize. The slot was worth only $5,000 before 1998.
