Organize paper tables for twenty, fifty or one hundred attendees. A complete five-card set, collection script and shared finale keep every table on the same reveal schedule.

Playable kit and host resources

Price basis: supplied dollar amounts are fictional practice prices in USD, before tax and shipping. No current retailer quote is claimed. Bible cards use the named count units instead.

Shared reveal script and deadlines

  1. Put a table number on each answer slip. Give each table 5 numbered guesses and a blank score box. Keep the host key off the projector.
  2. Host: “Here is the exact pack and quantity. You have 30 seconds. Captain, submit one answer when I say close.”
  3. At close, collect or turn slips face down. Read all table guesses before opening the answer. Late slips receive no points under this announced house rule.
  4. Host: “The answer is shown now. Compare absolute differences on your paper ledger.” Share paper tie points. Rotate reader, writer and captain clockwise after each card.
  5. For the shared finale, give 60 seconds to add the revealed component values. Collect all slips before reveal; award 2 house points.

Physical attendance is not software capacity

These 20/50/100 plans use paper tables and host-led offline aggregation. They do not promise that a Free or paid live room admits that many devices. Check current plans separately; enter only the numeric prompts manually if using Right Price as the host display.

For ordinary paper rounds, announce closest overall, one point per item and two for a bundle before starting; share equal-distance points and allow joint overall winners. Where this guide gives a different scoring exercise, follow that section instead. These are external house rules. Right Price pricing questions default to closest without going over; keep optional paper scores separate from the app leaderboard.

Copy these items into the creator

  1. Open /games/new and sign in. Enter Game Title on the opening screen, choose Create from scratch, review Game Details and select an available game mode.
  2. In Add Questions, enter Your Question, choose Question Type: Guess the Price for USD or Guess a Number for counts, and fill Correct Answer. More Options contains Question name, Description and Teaching notes. Save & Add Another repeats the manual process; these resource files do not auto-import a game.
  3. Preview privately and check every reveal against the key. Native no-overbid judging differs from optional paper scores; keep the latter on the host sheet. Check current plans before inviting players.

The public guide can be read without an account. Creating or hosting a game uses the product's sign-in and access flow; check current plans before your event. Answer disclosures on this page are convenient to hide, not private or access-controlled.
