**Any Number** is an Australian game show series which debuted on L.J. Play from 12 November 2018 onwards. It is where each contestant shows a game board which lists the three prizes, along with spaces for the digits in their prices. Each digit from 0 through 9 appears exactly once on the board, not including the first digit in the price of the car.

## Gameplay

* The contestant is shown a game board which lists the three prizes, along with spaces for the digits in their prices. Each digit from 0 through 9 appears exactly once on the board, not including the first digit in the price of the car, which is revealed for the contestant at the start of the game (this amendment was made when cars began retailing for more than $10,000).
* The contestant is then asked to call out digits, one at a time and their positions on the board are revealed. The contestant wins only the first prize whose price they complete.
* If the contestant wins the prize that's less than $988, the losing horns aren't heard; but if the contestant wins the amount in the piggy bank, the losing horns are played.

## History

On 27 October 2018 after the L.J. Play announcement in August, L.J. announced that he will be debuting the very first game show, called "Any Number". When L.J. Play officially launched, he then began uploading the first ever episode on 12 November. ABC L.J. has been announcing the Any Number finale in 2019. He thus debuted/posted the video, and the first series ended on 4 February. Within 5 days later, ABC L.J. announced that the new series of Any Number will debut on 18 March and then it will end in June of that year. The series began on 18 March 2019 and as such, the board was modified. For its 1st anniversary, it was used again in series 3 featuring gradients. On 2 October after a brief recess for over 2 months, it was confirmed that Any Number would be renewed for its third series, and to be titled the "1st Anniversary" series. ABC L.J. had posted a warning announcement online about L.J. Play coming to an end but the channel is still currently running. On 7 October it then premiered and before New Year's Eve had occurred, this series ended on 30 December. As revealed on a Facebook post, it was announced on 16 September 2020 that Any Number would return for its 4th series with the same format as before.

## Changes to the show

* **November 2018**: First episode. The title animation was created using Blender. Suddenly, there was no "0" to be appeared. In the animation, the camera moves from the bottom left to the centre. After the numbers disappear, the letters spell out "ANY NUMBER" and the logo is formed. After "ANY NUMBER" has been spelt out, the camera zooms out, then zooms back into the top counter of the "B". After the title animation, we head over to a board with 9 blanks in it, next to them are some dollar signs. This has 4 spaces for the price of the car in dollars, 3 spaces for the price of another prize in dollars, and 3 spaces for the money in the piggy bank in dollars and cents. "ANY NUMBER" appears on red respectively at the top and bottom. The main Any Number theme (taken from the Catchphrase theme from 1994 to 2000) would currently be used but first it was pitched down to -0.7 half tones.

* **March 2019**: At the start of the show, the numbers were changed, but with the "0" now appearing in the title animation. The board was also changed with the Antonio font replacing Aharoni. When it was modified 2 white logos now appear at the top and at the bottom respectively. The main theme would also be pitched up to 0.0 half tones.
