1992 - Present
Switch? is the Double Prices of the 1990's. Two prizes are shown with prices in front of the prizes. There are two possibilities--the prices are correct as they are, or they are reversed and need to be switched. If the contestant can determine whether the prices or right or if they need to be switched, s/he wins both prizes.
Next to Double Prices, this game might require the least amount of energy. When the contestant elects not to switch the prices, all the models have to do is reveal the prices. When the contestant elects to switch, the models' movement is accompanied by a peppy theme unique to this game.
Switch? seems to follow bizarre patterns. For the longest time, it seemed like EVERY time the game was played, the contestant needed to leave the prices as they were. More recently, it seems like the contestant should ALWAYS switch prices. Like Double Prices, Switch? is used to makeup time for longer (and more interesting) games earlier in the show.
On a $1,000,000 Spectacular Special in December, 2003, Switch? was played for two 5-digit cars, and the contestant won!

| It's Switch? from 1999. This contestant elected not to switch the prizes... | ...but she should have! They were mixed up! |

| Here's another playing of Switch? Today's prizes are a trip to New York... | ...and a trip to Nashville. Pricing game pointer: the further the distance from L.A., the more expensive the trip. He should switch. |

| And he did...insert peppy Switch? music here. | And he wins both trips! That's almost $11,000 in prizes! |
