Hi Lo

Hi 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 at least $4,000 and uses grocery items.
Game play
The contestant is shown six grocery items and is asked to select the three highest-priced items. The prices of their selections are revealed, and if all three remaining items are priced lower than the least expensive of the selected items, the contestant wins.
History
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 was orange and brown and was used for the first five years. The second one was white and used clear Plexiglas and was introduced by June 12, 1978. The current set was introduced on October 26, 1990.
Until May 15, 2008 the game was wheeled out to center stage by two and the main prize was shown after the items and gameplay were described. Since then, the game has been moved behind the Giant Price Tag and revealed after the main prize has been described as in all other pricing games.
