- 2Everyone locks a guess before reveal.
- 3The host may choose closest overall or classic closest-without-going-over before play.
Scoring and fair answers
Default: the smallest absolute difference earns one point; ties share the point. Classic mode excludes guesses over the dated price.
Choose 5, 10 or all 15 questions. Hints and timers are optional. The host awards points; guests do not need accounts.
Running The Price Is Right: Baby Edition at your shower
About 12 minutes for all 15 questions; a shorter set takes proportionally less.
- 1Decide before the first product whether you are playing closest overall or classic closest-without-going-over, and say it out loud.
- 2Hand out cards so every team writes one dollar figure before the reveal. Spoken guesses invite copying.
- 3Reveal the dated price and read where it came from. It is a frozen game price, not today's offer, which heads off arguments.
- 4Use the on-screen team scoreboard or your own tally; the host awards points manually and the game does not collect guest guesses.
Group size, in person or remote
Scales from a small table to a big co-ed room played in teams. Remote guests type their figure in chat before the reveal. Prices are in US dollars, so mention the currency to international guests.
Who it suits
Co-ed showers, office parties and anyone who likes a game-show feel. Guests who have never shopped for a baby tend to guess wildly, which is part of the appeal.
Pick something else ifโฆ
Money talk feels awkward for your group, or most guests shop outside the US. What's That Baby Gadget? keeps the gear theme without prices.
Pairs well with
Play it before this game: guests work out what the gear does, then guess what it costs. Played the other way round, the product names here would give some of its answers away.
Another prize-friendly round for a competitive table.
Best for
Co-ed showers and anyone who loves a competitive, game-show vibe.
