You'll see an item, the year, and where it was sold.
Type what you think it cost back then. Guess the sticker price people actually paid that year, not today's money.
Lock in your price to see the real one and the story behind it.
Five items a day. Your receipt shows your total out of 500.
Scoring
Each item is worth up to 100 points. Points depend on how far off you are in percent, so being $1 off on a candy bar costs you more than being $1 off on a car.

Questions
Are prices adjusted for inflation?
No. Every answer is the price on the tag at the time, in that year's dollars.
Where do the prices come from?
Government price data, old newspaper ads, store catalogs and company records. Every answer links to its source after you guess.
When do new items come out?
Every day at midnight, your time. Everyone gets the same five items that day.
Is it only American prices?
For now, yes. Every item was sold in the United States and priced in US dollars.
Can I share my score?
