The Game Shows

Five formats. One ballpark. Each built around a different relationship with price, risk, and how well people really know what things cost.

Game Show One
Pick Your Poison
Strategy · Budget Management · 3 Rounds

Six items are shown alongside a budget. No prices. Pick whichever combination you want — secretly — then watch prices reveal cheapest to most expensive. The moment your total crosses the budget you're bust and locked out. Survive and score points based on how close to the limit you got. Three rounds per episode with escalating budgets. Once per game any player can declare a Gamble before reveals: win the round and points double, go bust and you lose a point instead of zero.

6 Items Per Round3 RoundsLive Bust RevealsGamble Mechanic
Scoring
Closest to budget: 3pts · 2nd: 2pts · Survived: 1pt · Bust: 0pts. Gamble doubles wins or costs a point.
Game Show Two
Guess the Price
Knowledge · Estimation · 10 Items

Two items are shown side by side, both prices hidden. Each episode has a theme — Famous vs Knockoff, Normal vs Ridiculous, Old vs New — pairing things designed to make price knowledge unreliable. Players write down their guess for one designated item, then both prices drop simultaneously. Ten items, ten chances. The key twist: if two players submit the exact same guess, neither scores. Matching someone is just as bad as being wrong.

10 ItemsThemed EpisodesSimultaneous RevealTie = Nobody Scores
Scoring
Closest guess wins the point. Identical guesses cancel — neither player scores.
Game Show Three
Higher or Lower
Prediction · 20 Items

An item is shown with a hint price — deliberately calibrated to mislead. Is the real price higher or lower? Everyone answers simultaneously. Twenty items per episode in themed pairings: Fast Food vs Fine Dining, Then vs Now, Men's vs Women's. The hints sit right on the edge of plausibility, close enough that you second-guess yourself even when you knew a second ago. A fun note drops with each reveal giving the host something to riff on.

Scoring
One point per correct answer. Most points across all 20 wins the episode.
Game Show Four
The Lineup
Ranking · Relative Knowledge · 3 Rounds

Five items from the same category are shown scrambled and labelled A to E. No prices. Rank them cheapest to most expensive and submit before anything is revealed. Then the correct order drops position by position with prices alongside. Three rounds per episode with different themes escalating in difficulty. The Lineup rewards relative knowledge over exact figures — you don't need to know what a Balenciaga costs, you just need to know it costs more than a Nike. Each reveal also shows where each item originally sat in the scramble.

5 Items Per Round3 Rounds15 Items TotalRanking FormatScrambled Order
Scoring
Perfect order: 3pts. Otherwise: 1pt per item in the correct position. Max 5pts per round.
Game Show Five
Bid or Fold
Poker Strategy · Wagering · 10 Items

Everyone starts with a $500 pot. Each round an item is shown — with a hint price for rounds 1–5, nothing at all for rounds 6–10 — and players secretly write their price guess and how much to wager. Closest guess wins, but only if at least one other player matched or exceeded their stake. If nobody matched, second-closest wins instead. The winner collects all money wagered that round. Folding is always an option. Once per episode a player can declare a Double Down: win and collect twice the pot, fail and lose double your wager — potentially going negative.

Scoring
Highest pot after 10 rounds wins. Balances can go negative. Double Down can swing the entire episode in one move.
