A mechanical mountain climber--who's set along a steep slope that terminates in a cliff--keeps track of your score. The climber starts at the bottom of the slope. He moves up one step for each dollar that your guess misses the actual price. Otherwise, you score points by ending the game with the climber as far from the edge as possible.
Determining if you'll like this game is simple. If you've watched The Price Is Right and have thought to yourself, "I really wish I could play that cool Cliffhangers game on my phone! Otherwise, its paper-thin depth and gameplay, which is based on guesswork and knowledge of consumer goods, amount to little. The game is essentially a piece of kitsch that might be funny at first, but by the second or third time through, it wears out its welcome like a guest who can't take a hint.
The graphics are simple but effective. The product images are somewhat grainy, but they are clear enough that you can make out what you're bidding on. The sound effects closely mimic the ones used on the show as the heroic climber yodels his way to death or Price Is Right glory.
How much would you pay for this thing? The game lacks head-to-head multiplayer, but you can report your scores to a central server. Consider the game Now or Then. Contestants are asked to guess whether each of six small prizes, numbered 1—6 and placed in a circle, is labeled with the current NOW price or a THEN price from an earlier date.
If the contestant guesses correctly on any three consecutive items, she wins a prize, like a digital piano or a trip to Savannah. Over the last 13 years, contestants have averaged a 68 percent win probability.
They have largely done so by trying to accurately discern the NOW prices from the THEN prices, but this is the wrong way to approach the game. Many others can be cracked with a bit of knowledge of the show's nonrandom habits. Consider the pricing game called Squeeze Play. Current host Drew Carey shows the contestant either a five- or six-digit number and asks the player to remove one digit from the number—first and last digit excluded—to reveal the price of a prize.
Over the last eight years, this game has been played times with a five-digit number, meaning the contestant can either remove the second, third, or fourth digit.
If every contestant had gone into the game opting to pick the third digit, regardless of the prize or the numbers displayed, the combined contestant winning percentage would have been Instead, players got wrapped up in guessing the exact price—and had a combined winning percentage of just The reason that it's better to always pick digit No. The wrong digit was placed in the third slot 49 percent of the time as compared with 22 percent and 28 percent for the second and fourth, respectively.
The discrepancy between the winning digit's location and what we would expect if that digit were placed randomly is statistically significant—meaning the placement is not , actually, random. What is clear is that guessing the middle digit is the safest bet in Squeeze Play. The show makes no promises of behaving like a casino, with perfectly random distribution of numbers.
There is a game called 2 For the Price of 1 , where each digit in the price of a three-figure item must be guessed correctly. For every digit, contestants choose between two numbers, one placed above it on a top row or one below it on a bottom row. If the game were truly random, the correct digits should come from the same row either all from the top or all from the bottom one-in-four times. In the context of the game, however, these two instances occur less than a combined one-tenth of the time.
Winning 2 For the Price of 1 is like counting cards in a three-card deck. To be clear, not every game can be won quite so easily. And in some games, there is no trick, and no pattern or bias—you really do just need to know your prices.
