expressed much as one would hear in a department store (ending with "and 95 cents"), and the prices increased as the episode progressed (e.g., $ 7.95, $ 11.95, $ 14.95, $ 21.95). All prize values were rounded up to the nearest dollar before being subtracted from the score of the contestant who purchased the prize. Each Instant Bargain was hidden behind a curtain, and contestants could not buzz in before the curtain opened. A contestant who did buzz in early was penalized by having the cost of the Instant Bargain deducted from their score and being locked out of purchasing the prize.

purchase the prize available; in the event of a tie, the first player to buzz-in (if any) received the prize. For a brief time in early 1984, any contestant who bought an Instant Bargain could win back the money they spent by correctly answering a "Money Back Question" immediately afterward. Also, on occasion, any Instant Bargains that were not bought would be packaged as part of a "Garage Sale". If the player(s) in the lead did not elect to buy the Garage Sale package, the other contestants were invited to buy the prize set, unlike the normal Instant Bargains.

the champion had to solve a set amount of them within a time limit. The limit was originally five puzzles in 25 seconds, later reduced to four in 20 seconds. The clock began when the first word of a puzzle was revealed and stopped when the champion hit a plunger and gave an answer. Passing was allowed, and the champion could continue playing after one wrong guess or failure to respond immediately upon hitting the plunger. A second such mistake ended the round immediately.

famous faces on the Fame Game board were replaced by numbers, and for a brief time in late 1984, there was a "$ 5+" Money Card, entitling the contestant who found it to immediately pick another number and receive whatever was behind it in addition to the $ 5 score boost. Even later, in October 1985, a randomizer was added to the Fame Game board and the player in control hit their buzzer to freeze it and thus choose a number, similar to the

champion was allowed to buy either of the two prizes but not both. On the syndicated series, the rule was modified slightly and added the penultimate level of all of the shopping prizes on stage; if the champion earned enough to reach that level, choosing to leave at that point would automatically result in him/her winning each individual prize as opposed to being able to choose the highest valued individual prize of the car.

couple's score from the game. When the amount reached the sale price of a prize, the couple could buy the prize or keep playing for a more expensive prize. Later, this was changed to "The Game of Champions". The three prizes had sale amounts ($ 150, $ 300, and $ 600). The winning couple chose a prize and had to answer three questions (worth $ 50, $ 100, or $ 200 each, depending on the prize) in order to win.

237: 764:

Unlike Instant Bargains, multiple contestants could buy the same item. This was later replaced with an "Audience Sale" round in which three members of the studio audience guessed the "sale price" of an item. The one that bid closest without going over won the item. The three contestants could increase their score by correctly guessing which audience member would win.

874:

In March 1986, the third Instant Bargain was replaced by an "Instant Cash" game. The leading contestant was offered a chance at a cash jackpot at the cost of their entire lead over the second-place player. In case of a tie, the host named a starting price and gradually lowered it until one contestant

Any champion who reached the top prize level was offered a chance to continue playing in the hope of earning enough money to buy all six shopping prizes, referred to as "the Lot." For the first five months of the NBC run, any champion who purchased the Lot also received enough cash to bring its value

818:

After a win, the champion could either buy any affordable prize of their choice and retire from the show, or return to play another match in the hopes of winning enough money to afford a higher-level prize. A defeated champion left with only the cash and prizes accumulated in the main game. Prizes on

Three Fame Game rounds were played per game as well. The first half of each round consisted of a "who-am-I?"-style question, starting with obscure clues and proceeding to easier ones as the host continued. A contestant who buzzed in with a correct answer played the second half of the round; giving an

Three Instant Bargains were played per game, with the prizes' retail values and sale prices increasing as the game progressed. In some cases, the host would reduce the price and/or offer extra cash to entice a contestant to make a purchase. During an Instant Bargain, only the player in the lead could

In December 1987, the show changed bonus rounds again and introduced a new round called the "Winner's Big Money Game". At the start of this round, the champion selected one of three envelopes, each containing a set of six-word puzzles that served as clues to a famous person, place, or thing. To win,

The contestant with the highest final score became the champion. If the match ended in a tie, the tied players were asked one more question (originally in the Fame Game format, soon changed to an ordinary toss-up). Buzzing in and answering correctly won the game, while answering incorrectly resulted

During the last thirteen weeks of this series, and the aforementioned follow-up weekly syndicated series, two married couples competed instead of three individual contestants. Each couple was given $ 20 at the start of the game. On the syndicated version, the first round consisted of questions worth

738:

Contestants answered general knowledge toss-up questions posed by the host, earning $ 5 for a correct answer or losing that amount for a miss. Unlike most other game shows of the time, though, only the first contestant to buzz in could answer a question; a miss took it out of play for the other two.

903:

Any champion who won all 10 prizes from the board was given the option to retire undefeated or put those prizes at risk in one final match against two new challengers on the next show. A win awarded a $ 50,000 bonus in addition to all previous winnings, while a loss forfeited all the Winner's Board

899:

Once a prize was won, it was removed from play for all subsequent visits to the Winner's Board by that champion, but the two "WIN" cards were always in play. After a ninth victory, these cards were removed and two numbers were displayed, each concealing one of the two remaining prizes. The champion

891:

Unlike the shopping format, in which the champion took the risk of being defeated and leaving without a bonus prize if he/she chose to play a new game, the Winner's Board guaranteed that the champion would receive a prize after every victory. A new champion faced a full board of 20 squares, with 10

878:

Beginning in late December 1987, a prize was awarded to the winner of the match. Originally, there were six prizes on offer each week, each hidden behind a number, and the winner of the game received one of them. The prize was determined at first by the champion's selection of one number during the

870:

lead by replacing the final three questions after the last Fame Game with a 60-second speed round. Beginning in May 1984, a "Sale Surprise" was occasionally and secretly added to certain Instant Bargains. It was only revealed after the contestant either purchased or passed on a prize, and consisted

The winning contestant or couple was given the opportunity to spend their score on at least one of several grand prizes at the "Sale of the Century". Contestants either purchased a prize with their winnings and retired, or elected to return the next day and try to win enough to buy a more expensive

742:

At certain points during the game, the contestant in the lead participated in an "Instant Bargain" and was offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise at a bargain price. The selling price for the item, generally the value of one or more questions, was then deducted from the contestant's score,

The Winner's Big Money Game had a series of eight prize levels. The first six levels were played for cash prizes that started at $ 5,000 and increased by $ 1,000 for each subsequent game the champion won, up to $ 10,000. The seventh level was played for a car, and any champion who failed to win it

849:

By July 1983, the Fame Game underwent two changes. The first involved the use of three Money Cards, worth $ 10, $ 15, and $ 25, which were added to the board one at a time in ascending order. Occasionally, a fourth card worth $ 5 was placed on the board with the $ 10 card. Later in March 1984, the

The champion was given a chance to buy a bonus prize with the money earned in all main game wins to that point. Six individual prizes were offered, which changed every five shows, and were arranged in ascending order of both retail value and sale price. A new champion was always allowed to buy the

The contestant who answered correctly was given a choice of nine spaces on the Fame Game board, each displaying the face of a celebrity. Eight of the spaces hid either small bonus prizes or various amounts of cash, some of which offered the contestant a choice between taking either the money or an

Three contestants competed each day, usually a returning champion and two challengers, and were each given $ 20 at the start of the game. Except for Fame Game questions, contestants earned $ 5 for a correct answer and were penalized $ 5 for an incorrect answer. A contestant's score, however, could

The "Open House" round was played in early episodes of the original version, usually about halfway through a particular episode. Five prizes were presented to the contestants and each could buy as many of them as he or she wanted; they had five seconds to list each of the items they wanted to buy.

prizes available. The two largest prizes, a car and $ 10,000 cash, were each hidden behind one square, while eight smaller prizes (always including $ 3,000 cash) were behind two squares each. Two "WIN" cards were also hidden on the board. Prizes were changed out at the end of each broadcast week.

887:

The shopping bonus round was later replaced with a game called the "Winner's Board", which was introduced in October 1984 on NBC and on November 18, 1985 in syndication. On the Friday before the switch was made on both series, the champion was awarded the highest-level shopping prize he/she could

From 1969 to 1973, the game featured three contestants, who all began with $ 25. Midway through the game, the question values doubled to $ 10. At first, the final round consisted of 30 seconds of $ 15 questions. Later, this was replaced with five $ 20 questions (called "The Century Round", as the

The champion selected one square at a time and won the first prize matched. Uncovering a "WIN" card automatically awarded the next prize found; this was the only way to win either the car or the $ 10,000 after any of the champion's first eight victories. No special bonus or prize was awarded for

The 1973–74 syndicated version featured two different formats. Both offered three possible prizes (almost always a trip, a fur coat, and a car), only one of which the couple could win. Originally, each prize had a sale price, and Garagiola asked questions worth $ 100 each, which was added to the

On rare occasions, a champion would enter a match needing a certain amount for one prize (such as a fur coat) and win with a high enough score to reach the one above it (such as a car). When such a situation arose, unless the winning amount was enough to allow him/her to buy the entire Lot, the

was added to the Lot and made available for purchase by itself as a seventh prize level. This jackpot began at $ 50,000 and grew by $ 1,000 for every day it went unclaimed. The syndicated series used a similar prize structure, but its seventh level consisted only of the Lot without the jackpot.

835:

All the shopping prizes were swapped out for different ones every five shows. If a contestant's reign was to continue past the Friday of a particular week, the host offered a reminder that a different set of prizes would be offered beginning on the next show and told the champion what the next

At certain points during gameplay, all contestants were offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise at a bargain price. The first contestant to buzz in after the prize was revealed purchased that prize, and the price was deducted from his or her score. The prices of all prizes offered were

Depending upon the version, question values either remained at $ 5 or increased as the game progressed. Additional Instant Bargains were also offered. The contestant in the lead at the end of the game was declared the champion and used their final score to purchase a larger prize, or played a
