Take Two is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on June 23, 1978’s episode (which was aired out of order on June 2), this game is played for four prizes, each worth between $500 and $3,000. It was created by former director Marc Breslow. [1]
[edit] Game play
The contestant is shown four prizes and a target price. They must select the two prizes whose prices total the target price to win all four prizes. If the total is incorrect, the contestant is given one more opportunity to pick the correct two, now knowing the prices of the two prizes they selected first. If the total still does not match the target price, they win nothing; if the total is correct on either chance, the contestant wins all four prizes.
[edit] History
When the game debuted in 1978, the game board was a square board, with an extra part behind it. Originally, the gameboard was pink with white trim, with the dollar signs and price slips white, the board covering the names of the prizes white with pink dots for each prize, the extra part in white, and the name of the game blue. The colors were changed in spring of 1983, with the board yellow, purple for the dollar signs and the price slips, orange for the board covering the prizes, and the trim of the board purple and yellow, with the name of the game in purple, and the extra part in an orange color.
On April 16, 1997 the game board was changed to its current appearance.
