FORMAT GUIDE · ESTIMATE & REVEAL
A price-guessing game gives everyone the same item, context and currency, then compares estimates with a checked answer. Start with the scoring rule and the source of truth so the reveal does not become a debate about a different store or package size.
Allow guesses above or below the price. The smallest absolute difference wins. This makes a straightforward first round when the group is new to estimation.
Prepare: one exact product, package size, price date and source. Collect all guesses before showing the answer.
Only guesses at or below the answer qualify. State what happens when every guess is over before playing; the example below awards no point and moves on.
Prepare: the same item context, plus the all-over and tie rules.
Give teams several clearly identified items and ask them to rank the checked prices from low to high. Award one point for each correct position, or one for the whole order—choose one rule beforehand.
Prepare: prices recorded in the same currency and at comparable dates. Avoid equal prices unless a tied position is an intended answer.
Show all quantities and ask for the combined item total. This gives teams several estimates to reconcile before the reveal.
Prepare: an itemized key. State whether tax, discounts and delivery count. Do not describe your calculated total as an actual bundle offer.
These are host-format options, not a claim that every option is a built-in Right Price mode. Choose a supported game setup or handle the stated rule manually.

Round 1 · Closest estimate
Answer: USD $1.99. Dated listed item price.
Every team submits one guess. The smallest absolute difference wins one point. Equal differences share the point.
Scoring example: USD 1.50 is 49 cents away; USD 2.25 is 26 cents away. The USD 2.25 guess wins.
Round 2 · Closest without going over
Answer: USD $59.99. Dated listed item price.
Highest guess at or below the answer wins one point. If every guess is over, reveal the answer, award no point and move on.
Scoring example: USD 55 is eligible; USD 60 is one cent over. USD 55 wins between those guesses.
Round 3 · Build a basket
Answer: USD $61.98. Calculated total, not a retailer offer.
Let teams estimate the combined total. Closest total wins one point; tied teams share the point.
Scoring example: USD 1.99 + USD 59.99 = USD 61.98. This is a calculated example, not a retailer bundle or purchase offer.
State the brand, model, quantity and condition. A six-pack is not a single cup; a list price is not a sale price. Use a mix that does not depend on one person’s specialist shopping knowledge.
For a classroom, invite explanations of unit size and estimation strategy. For work, use only approved, shareable pricing information. For a party, keep the items familiar and avoid questions about guests’ income or spending.
Use one currency within a round and label it explicitly. For another region, replace the example with a local, dated listing and state whether tax is included. If using an exchange-rate exercise, record the rate’s source and date as well; do not silently convert these examples.
For a host-led setup, give teams a short discussion window and collect one written or chat answer per team. Reveal only after every submission. Split a tied point or use one prepared extra item; never invent a tie-break answer on the spot.
Ask teams to estimate a jar of counters the host has actually counted, or a ribbon the host has measured. Record the exact count or measurement, unit and method before play. The answer comes from your preparation, not an invented example value.
Host sequence: explain the rule, show one unscored example, collect guesses, reveal the source/value, award points, and invite a brief explanation. For remote or hybrid groups, read all item details aloud and use the same deadline for every team.
Prepare rounds with your own sourced prices or known numeric values. The tool checks required values and units, provides explicit scoring rules, and creates separate host and player sheets; it does not invent or verify prices.
