Squeeze Play (pricing game)

Squeeze Play is a pricing game on the American television game show, "The Price is Right." This game is played for a four-digit prize, worth more than $2,000.

Gameplay
The contestant is shown a string of five digits (e.g., 46802). The first and last digits are correct, but one of the middle digits – either the second, third or fourth number – is an extra number. It is left to the contestant to guess which one is wrong.

The remaining numbers then "squeeze" together on the gameboard to form a possible price. If that price matches the actual retail prize, the contestant wins.

Trivia

 * On occasion, the game is played for a car. In this case, a six-digit version of the game is used. As before, the first and last numbers are right; the contestant needs to remove either the second, third, fourth or fifth number to form the five-digit price.


 * Interestingly, Squeeze Play had in the past been played for 4-digit cars; however, this practice was phased out around 1990.


 * Squeeze Play has not always been played on the Turntable; until 1981, it was played on the stage and was concealed by the Giant Price Tag.


 * The sound effect used for the numbers "squeezing" together is the same one heard as the safe is opened and closed in Safe Crackers.
