‘The Price Is Right’ Did Producers Retire Popular Game?
Long-time fans of The Price is Right usually notice when long-time games end up missing from the show. Recently, a fan noticed that one specific game had been missing for a long time and wondered if it was retired from the show. However, this isn’t the only game that has been gone for a while, and there is a reason some games are missing in action.
Here is what game the fan was talking about and why it might be missing from The Price is Right.
Fan Wonders Where The Price Is Right Game Went
The Price is Right has been on TV for decades. Since its inception, 112 games have appeared on the popular game show, and 78 of them remain in its rotation. However, while some games rarely appear in the rotation, others have been missing for a long time, and fans believe they might be retired.
Someone took to social media and mentioned one game they have not seen in a long time. They wrote:
- “I’ve noticed they haven’t played Shopping Spree in forever and was wondering if they may have actually retired it for some reason? I hope not because it’s one of my favorites…but I don’t even know if they’ve played it once this season…I don’t remember it if they did.”
This led another fan to comment that Shopping Spree last appeared on the game show on November 4, 2024. This means it has only been less than four months since then. However, another fan mentioned something that has come up before.
In Shopping Spree, a player is shown four prizes along with a dollar amount. To win all four of the prizes, a player has to choose three prizes one by one, and their total price can’t exceed the dollar amount shown.
They said that Shopping Spree is one of the games on hiatus right now because of storage issues. They also mentioned that Safe Crackers and Eazy as 1-2-3 are on hiatus for these storage issues.
What Is The Price Is Right Storage Issue?
Fans have mentioned before that The Price is Right has a storage issue. Many of the games are large and have to be put together, and transporting them to the studio takes time. With the bigger games, it is often more economical not to bother with them for now.
According to some fans, there is a “props storage issue.” One person mentioned that the show has “very limited storage space.” When it comes to a gamer like Safe Crackers, this is a massive set to transport to the studio. They said the storage space with the games is two miles away from the studio. Another fan said they couldn’t store all their games at the studio since there is not enough room.
Safe Crackers is a game where a person has a giant safe and has to choose a three-digit combination that would open the safe and reveal both prizes.
