Games Spotlight: Hi Lo
Tuesday, December 2
Name: Hi Lo
Debut: April 9th, 1973
Hi-Lo is a game typically played for a prize that varies between $2,000 and $10,000. Six grocery items are shown. The contestant is asked to choose the 3 highest priced items. Then, the remaining 3 items must have a lower price than the lowest price in the "HI" row in order to win. For example, if the lowest priced item in the "HI" row is $4.79, the remaining items (not chosen by the contestant) must all be less than $4.79 in order to win.
Historical Fact: There have been three Hi Lo sets. The first one was orange colored and lasted five years. The second one was white and clear and was introduced in 1978. The third set, introduced on October 26, 1990, is blue colored and is currently still in use.
Fun Fact: Hi Lo was the first pricing game ever to display its name on the game's prop.
