Games Spotlight: Coming or Going
Tuesday, January 6
Name: Coming or Going
Debut: October 2nd, 2003
Coming or Going is played for a four digit prize-- typically ranging in value from between $3,000 and $10,000. The contestant is presented with a string of four digits on a tilting platform which pivots around a central axis, like a see-saw. If the person tilts the platform to the left (also known as 'coming'), the digits string to the left, forming one price, or if the contestant tilts it to the right ('going'), the digits arrange themselves in the reverse order, forming another price (for example, $5,219 vs. $9,125). One of the two prices is the correct price of the prize. The contestant is asked whether he is "coming" or "going" and tilts the platform accordingly. If they are correct, bells and lights go off; if they are incorrect, a buzzer sounds.
Fun Fact: As of the time of this writing, Coming or Going is the only one on the show that does not contain a price reveal, either by game set, model, announcer, or host. The contestant simply knows he or she has won by the winning bells and flashing lights on the main prop, or lost by the buzzer and losing horns.
