And you can win all four prizes as we present our newest pricing game, Shrink! (The Shrink electronic display is lowered down on stage, in a setup similar to Time is Money 2.0; the audience oohs and aahs) Yes, it's a game created by our own Steve Anderson, and developed by Steve, myself, and our own executive producer, Roger Dobkowitz! (audience cheers) Now, Frank, you can win that car by telling me the price of it. You don’t have to be exact…you can be within a range…but you will decide how big or small that range will be. We will begin this game by starting you off with a $5000 range…I want you to tell me the price of this first prize, the fridge/freezer. If you can tell me the price within that $5000 range, you win that prize. However, whatever you miss it by, the range will shrink that same amount. Then we will go to the guitar and you will tell me the price of that item using the new lower range. Whatever you miss that by will narrow the range by the same amount. We will do the same for the trip. Finally, you have the chance of winning that car if you can tell me the price of it within the final range. If at any point, there is no range left, you cannot go onto the next prize and the game ends. So be careful and try to price each item as close to the real price as possible so you have a large range left to use on the car. Do you have any questions?

OK, your bid is $2,482. The actual retail price.... $1,499. (ding) (audience cheers) So, you have won the fridge freezer. Let's see how that affects your range. (the range shrinks)Now, you have a range of $4,017. Remember, we want the range to be as high as possible so you have a decent chance at the SUV. Give me a bid on the guitar, and do be careful. (audience shouts suggestions)

(audience reacts) OK. You bid $1111. What's the actual retail price? (ding)$2,600. That's within $4,017, but I'm afraid your range is going to take a hit. (the range shrinks)Well, you still have $2,528 left in your range. Just a little over half your range is gone. Let's really try to be accurate on that trip, hmm? What's your bid on it? (audience shouts suggestions)

Well, he bids $5987. Let's see what the actual retail price is... (ding) Well, you have the prize, but look at your range. (the range shrinks)You've got a range of $55. (the "Shrink!" sign "flips" to reveal the SUV) So, you can be off by $55 one way or $55 the other. That's a $110 spread. You know, Frank... this is the first time we've played this game and you can see right away why you have to be so careful with pricing. If you can get the price of this car within $55, then I'll get Roger to buy everyone a drink. (audience cheers) Don't get excited, it's a Pumpkin Fizz. (audience laughs) Now, Frank...... what is the price of that SUV? (audience shouts suggestions)

(audience reacts) Well, now you don't know for sure. We'll see if he gets this right. If he does, I'll faint. You bid $21,196. The actual retail price is.... [$42,905] [$1,499][$2,600][$3,514] [$55]
Not even close. [$42,905] [$1,499][$2,600][$3,514] [BUST]
(buzzer, '94 losing horns)(audience reacts negatively) Well, Frank, don't feel too badly about the whole thing. Inflation has affected us all. The good news is, we can consider this a "partial" win because you did get three prizes, for a grand total of..... [SHRINK!] [$1,499][$2,600][$3,514] [$7,613]
$7,613 in prizes. Plus you won something to get up on stage, and we'll see you at the Showcase Showdown. Thank you for playing "Shrink!". (audience cheers) We'll just try this game again on a future show. In the meantime, Steve Anderson, who is our next player?

And g'day, Brendan! We were talking during the break, Brendan is from Sydney, Australia. You think our Showcase Round is tough, his is even tougher. You have to sort the seven items from least to most expensive. But I understand that your showcases were far, far larger than ours. They were giving away condos at one point?

Yes, I think it lasted about a year or so. Still, well worth going for any prize on this show
