Gallery Game

A highly themed “quickie”, played for a single large prize.

A painting of a prize is shown with a price that had one number incomplete. Using a paintbrush, the contestant needed to finish the number to complete the price. If correct, they contestant won the prize.

The game only lasted one season. Although Bob tried his best to make the most of the game, he felt that the wacky “schtick” of the game did not work on the air. Elements of this elaborate game were later used in Pick a Number.

68th pricing game to debut

A red dune buggy displayed indoors with a blue and white background, featuring potted plants beside it.

Usually when Gallery Game was played for a vehicle it would be amphibious or off-road, like this dune buggy.

The music playing while the contestant was painting was the Alla Hornpipe movement of George Frideric Handel’s “Water Music”.

Kristina painted the last digit of the dune buggy as a 0, but the curve on the bottom was actually for an 8. “Bummer!”, as Bob would say.

This jukebox built into the tail section of a 1957 T-Bird already looks like a work of art! Why did it need to be painted?!

Bob Barker speaking into a microphone in front of a colorful backdrop that reads 'The Price Is Right'.

By Gallery Game’s second-to-last playing, Bob rushed through the game like he wanted to be done with it right then and there. The game didn’t have the best win-loss record, but it’s overdone presentation might have been too much for a quick pricing game. The gallery would be closed for good one week later in April 1991.
