From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Host Bob Barker revealing that a contestant has won "Side by Side". This contestant won a trip to Acapulco.

Side by Side is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on May 10, 1994, this game is played for a four-digit prize, worth between $2,000 and $10,000.

[edit] Gameplay

Host Bob Barker presents the contestant with two pairs of two-digit numbers, one on top of the other. He must determine where the top pair goes - either to the left or right of the bottom set of numbers - to form the correct price.

For instance, if the two numbers were "57" and "95," the two possible prices are $5,795 and $9,557.

A correct decision wins the prize.

[edit] Trivia

• The game's outcome is denoted in one of two ways on the Side by Side board. A win reads out with the price; an incorrect answer causes the word "Sorry" to light up.

• "Side by Side" is the only pricing game name in which a single word appears multiple times.

• This game and Bullseye '76 are the only games that apologize to a contestant.

• Side by Side was never lost during the show's 34th season.
