Squeeze Play (pricing game)

Squeeze Play is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on September 13, 1977, this game is played for a four-digit prize, worth more than $2,000.

Gameplay

The Contestant is shown a string of five digits, the first and last of which are the correct first and last digits in the price. One of the other three digits is not part of the price, and the correct price is formed when the extra digit is removed.

The contestant must select the incorrect digit to be removed, leaving the other four digits to squeeze together to close the gap. If the resulting price is correct, they win the prize.

Since 2003, Squeeze Play has occasionally been played for 5-digit cars. In this format, the contestant is shown six digits, with any of the middle four being the potentially incorrect digit.

History

Squeeze Play has not always been played on the Turntable; until 1982, it was played on the stage and was concealed by the Giant Price Tag. In 2001, the board's color scheme changed from blue to gray, and The White lines changed to gold.

Until the mid-1990s, Squeeze Play was also occasionally played for 4-digit cars.
