[@laurakruk4692]

Did somebody ALREADY post this episode?! It seams familiar!

[@NoName-np8fz]

This aired the first day I started my new job, and - as of October 2020 - I'm still at that job.

[@laurakruk4692]

Am I wrong to believe that some one else already posted this episode?

[@sha11235]

I could see the problem with this game. You could eliminate the wrong prizes in the wrong order yet still win.

[@jashuamorales_]

I noticed that not that long ago.

Fortune hunter is a hard game to win $5,000. They retired it in 2000 due to confusion and 33 percent average of low winnings.

[@foxmccloud7055]

Out of the ashes of Fortune Hunter, it became 1/2 Off.

Fortune Hunter was too hard but it gave us a great cue

Wow, $11 for the Scrabble game, the prices in the Cliff Hangers game, were tough, ?

[@Musicradio77Network]

This was her first and only $5,000 win playing the worst game ever played, “Fortune Hunter”, a prototype to “1/2 Off”.

[@traemcpherson7266]

You're right.

[@Freeway4sho]

I think the game "Step Up" was formed from this game (since both offers four prizes).

[@nathanbabiuk6286]

Does anyone know the year that they started giving 500 dollars instead of 100 for a perfect bid?

Eliminating 3 of the boxes with clues (e.g: the box that is lower than $1,000) to find the correct box with the $5,000
