I've been watching TPIR since I was 3 years old in 1982. I'm 28 now. I have Stan Blits' new book that was released in September and it's an excellent book. I also have the TPIR DVD game, it's a lot of fun to play. I live in Kensington, Prince Edward Island, Canada. I own a small bookkeeping/income tax business.
The closest I got to a TPIR experience was when I went to a 'Which Price is Right' game in Summerside. It's played the same as the actual show, only 12 pricing games were played instead of 6, two showcase showdowns with 6 contestants each, 10 contestants in contestants row at a time (120 chances for your name to be called). I made it to contestants row, but didn't play a pricing game. I had a lot of fun for a good cause. They played 'On the Nose' for a car in each segment (basketball version), Lose Everything (Pass the Buck), Balls and Strikes (Three Strikes), Punchboard (Punch a Bunch), Mountain Climber (Cliffhangers), Switcheroo (Switch?), Golf Game (Hole in One/or Two), Piggy Bank (Any Number), High or Low (Dice Game), Roll 'Em (Let 'Em Roll), Clinko (Plinko).
