What is Price Games?

Price Games is a price-guessing game built around live Amazon listings. You estimate what a shopper would pay for a product today across seven modes: bid against other players, guess whether the next price is higher or lower, rank two items by price, stop a rising price, match four products with four prices, spend within a budget, or name the exact price. The catalog is deliberately random. One session might feature a unicorn-print water bottle, surgical steel hoops, a resurrection figurine set, and a baseball card box, each labeled with its Amazon department.

  1. Choose a mode from the grid on the front page. The Daily Challenge card at the top uses the same mode and product set for everyone that day.

  2. View the product photo, full listing title, and department. The price is hidden.

  3. Enter your guess. Most modes pair a slider with a text field, and the slider range brackets the actual price.

  4. Tap Lock In Price to see the actual price, your guess, the dollar difference, the percentage error, and your score.

  5. Tap Next Round to continue. You can also open the See it on Amazon link to check the listing.

Modes

Bidding War — You and up to four opponents bid in a set order, with a countdown timer for each turn. Under Price Is Right rules, the closest bid that does not go over wins.

Precision — Enter the exact price within 30 seconds. The timer starts when you first interact, so read the full title before making a guess.

Higher or Lower — Decide whether the next product costs more or less than the previous one.

Comparison — Two products appear side by side. Choose the one that costs more or less, depending on the prompt.

Riser — A counter climbs on screen. Stop it before it passes the actual price.

Price Match — Match four products with their four prices.

Budget Builder — Choose items that stay within the given budget.

Multiplayer rooms — Any mode can be opened as a shareable room with a link and code. The lobby lets you set round count, filter categories, add a password, and fill empty seats with bots at Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty.

Reading the feedback

The reveal screen delivers blunt commentary. Miss badly and it assigns a sarcastic title with emoji: guessing $24.99 on an $8.99 birthday card earned "Technically a Number, 178.0% off," then displayed Actual Price $8.99, Your Guess $24.99, Difference $16.00 over, and awarded +0 points. Bidding War enforces Price is Right scoring, so the panel reads "Overbid! 5.9% over" above an actual price of $16.98, then lines up every bidder with their margin—$1.48 under, $9.48 under, $1.01 over. Going over eliminates the round regardless of proximity.

Tips for better guesses

Use the slider bounds as free information. If they run $2.00 to $31.50, the game expects the item to sit in that magnitude before you guess.

In Precision, read the full listing title before moving the slider. The timer does not start until you interact, and Amazon titles often hide details such as “14oz” or “67 Cards” near the end. Those details can determine whether the item costs $9 or $30.

In Bidding War, bid slightly under when you move late. An overbid scores zero, even if it is close. If someone has already bid your number, subtract a dollar instead of adding one.

Use the Precision hint for categories you cannot estimate. It does not reveal the price; it narrows the slider window and turns a wild guess into a more informed one.

These are Amazon retail prices, not measures of intrinsic value. Multipacks, licensed prints, and collectibles often cost far more than expected.

Where do the prices come from?
Live Amazon listings. The site is an Amazon Associate, notes that products rotate as they sell out or get replaced, and includes a See it on Amazon link on the reveal so you can verify the number.

Do I need an account?
No. You start as a guest with a generated name like Quiet Cactus or Dapper Rascal. An account only lets you choose your own name and avatar and keep a permanent record.

Can I play with friends?
Yes. Creating a room produces a code and shareable link. The lobby holds up to six players, and empty seats can be filled with bots at three difficulty settings.

What does the Daily Challenge actually change?
It fixes the mode and product set for everyone that day. Your attempt only begins once you make your first guess.
