How it works

  1. Five price tags a day. Something everyday, a gadget, a big-ticket buy, something from back then and a wild card.
  2. Guess the price. Guessing under is forgiven. Going over counts double, so a careful guess beats a wild one.
  3. Up to 100 points an item. It’s scored on how many times off you are, so a guess on a $3 carton of eggs and a $40 million dinosaur count the same way.
  4. Pick your currency up top. Prices convert at the day’s exchange rate. Back-then prices stay in the US dollars of their year.
  5. New tags at midnight Eastern. Everyone gets the same five. Share your receipt and see who’s been overpaying.
