One Right Price

The first “quickie” on The Price is Right to offer two prizes. Essentially the inverse of Double Prices.

One price tag is shown, with two possible prizes it could belong to. If the contestant chooses which prize the price belongs to, they win both prizes!

One Right Price was created when the show expanded to an hour. With twice as many games to play per episode, showrunners decided they needed a wider variety of games, especially new “quick” games, to keep them from having to play Double Prices and Most Expensive multiple times per week.

As of this writing, One Right Price has been played more often than any other game offering two prizes.

Two models stand beside a refrigerator, holding a sign with the price of $2499. Various handbags are displayed on a table nearby, with the One Right Price logo in the background.
24th pricing game to debut
