Step Up is a pricing game on the American television game show The Price Is Right. Debuting on February 7, 2002, this game is played for four prizes, each worth between $400 and $3,000; and a cash prize of up to $3,000.

[edit] Gameplay

The contestant is shown four prizes. They are asked to select a prize they believe to be the least expensive, which serves as the "base prize"; its price is then revealed. The contestant is then asked to select a second prize which is more expensive than the base prize. If they are correct, they win both prizes and a $500 bonus.

The contestant can quit with their winnings, or risk them and choose another prize which is more expensive than the previous selections. If they are correct, they win all three prizes and an additional $1,000 bonus, for a total of $1,500.

They once again may quit with their winnings, or wager everything that the final prize is the most expensive of the four. If they continue, and the prize is the most expensive, they win all four prizes and an additional $1,500, for total of $3,000.

If a price is revealed at any point that is lower than the previous price, the game ends and the contestant loses all of their winnings.
