Shower Game

Shower Game was a pricing game on the American television game show, The Price Is Right. Played from September 4 to November 30, 1978, it was played for a car or $100 cash.
Gameplay
Six shower stalls were set up onstage, arranged in a row as in a locker room. Each stall had a possible price of the car attached to it.
The contestant had to enter the stall bearing the correct price and pull a chain attached to the shower head. If they chose correctly, a giant key lowered from the stall's ceiling, and the contestant won the car.
The five other showers were randomly divided into three which showered the contestant with confetti and two which showered them with 100 $1 bills. If the contestant selected a confetti shower, they could continue the game and choose another shower. If, however, the contestant selected a money shower, the game ended, and the contestant left with only the $100, making this game one of five retired games (along with the original Balance Game, Finish Line, Give or Keep, and Trader Bob) in which the contestant would win something regardless of the game's outcome.
