Price Check: closest price wins.

Price Check is a guess the price game for live streams: a product appears on screen, viewers type what they think it costs, and the closest guess wins the round. Nobody needs to be exactly right, which is why everyone has a go. It is a community game made by @dealhunters.

At a glance

Type a price, like 199 or $199.

Guesses are just numbers. The closest one wins when the price flips over.

How does the closest guess win?

Every guess is a number, with or without a dollar sign. When the timer ends, the real price flips over and guesses are ranked by how far off they were. The closest wins, the next few score too, and ties go to whoever sent first.

Why do guests love it?

Everyone has an opinion about what things should cost, and nobody agrees. Guests answer on their phone, so their guesses stay hidden until the reveal. Then you find out your co-host thinks a sofa costs $40.

Guess from chat or from a phone.

Chat types prices in Upstream.so, viewers guess on their phone everywhere else, and guests always use a phone.

Add the game as a browser source. Viewers scan the code on screen and play from their phone. Free, no app, no account.

Guests join from their phone in every setup, and their answers stay secret until you reveal them.

Scoring. Answers count by the moment they were sent, so a slow chat never decides who was first.

Questions

Do I have to write the dollar sign?

No. "199", "$199" and "199 dollars" all count as the same guess.

Can you go over the price?

Yes. It is closest wins, over or under.

What if two people guess the same number?

The guess that was sent first wins the tie.

Where do the prices come from?

From the maker's packs. Prices change over time, so the answer is the price when the pack was made.
