The Price Is Bodega: an NYC price-guessing game
Every New Yorker carries a price list in their head: the chopped cheese, the bacon egg and cheese, the quarter water, and the one constant in a changing city, the 99 cent Arizona. This free browser game puts that knowledge on the register. Guess what each item runs on your block, then do it all again in SoHo, where the same snacks cost way more than they should. Perfect solo or as a pass-and-play party game.
How to play
- Tap "Ring me up" to start. An item lands on the counter.
- Slide to your price guess, or nudge it with the Lower and Higher buttons.
- Hit "Lock it in" to ring it up. Closer guesses earn more points, and a spot-on guess pays out big.
- Ring up all 8 items, then take on round two: the same bodega at SoHo prices.
- Read your register tape at the end. And whatever you do, the Arizona is 99 cents.
