The Price is Right: Candidates’ Row

How much does it cost to run this town? We will give each candidate a chance to guess the price of something related to city life — a piece of infrastructure, a line in the city budget, the cost of a city service — and the closest guess, without going over, wins. Click here for an example of the classic game.



Where in the Ward is Carmen Sandiego? 
International thief Carmen Sandiego is in Toronto with one of her henchmen — local landmarks beware! Carmen left clues of her whereabouts, and it is up to participants to track down her location, testing their knowledge of the ward and the city. The game will be multiple choice and similar to the original show, but won’t feature an a capella group, unless of course you know one who can perform for free?






Factional Family Feud 
We’ll divide the group into two (friendly) factions to guess the answers to fun surveys of local residents. Candidates will be tested on their familiarity with public sentiment. #VoteTOin27 attendees can participate in the game by answering the survey questions when they get a FREE ticket to the event here . We know that the candidates are going to be smarter than these contestants of Family Feud.






The $9,200,000,000 Pyramid 
How well can candidates work with others and as part of a team? We’ll pair off candidates to play a Toronto-themed version of the long-running game show. Candidates will have to prompt their partners into saying a word related to the ward. For a refresher of how Pyramid works, check out this clip of a contestant trying to prompt Betty White.
