The Play

How It Works

Shop. Bid. Save.

A falling price · one entry fee · value back for everyone

BidBloom is a live shopping show, not a store. Four moves, and the product could be yours for a fraction of retail.

1. The price falls. Every product starts at full retail and ticks down automatically, second by second.
2. You pick your price. When you join a room you choose the price you'd love to pay. That becomes your auto-stop.
3. Claim it. Stop the price yourself, or let it auto-claim the instant it reaches your price. Either one locks in the deal — for now.
4. Survive the counter. Other players get a few seconds to counter and restart the drop. If nobody counters, you get the product at that price.

How to bid in a room

It starts at full price

No reserve, no minimum. The clock starts the moment the room fills, and the price only moves one way — down.

One entry fee

Everyone in a room pays the same fixed fee to join — it's your buy-in, not your bid. (Free during the beta.)

Your bid is your auto-stop

The price you choose when you join. The second the falling price reaches it, BidBloom claims for you automatically — even if you've closed the app.

Claim anytime

Don't want to wait for your auto-stop? Tap to claim the live price yourself. A manual claim costs 1 Shield Point.

The counter window

Every claim pauses the room and opens a short window. Anyone with a Shield Point can counter — that cancels the claim and restarts the drop from that price.

Shield Points (SP) are your ammo

Everyone starts with 3. Countering costs 1. Claiming by hand costs 1. Letting your auto-stop fire costs 0. Spend your last SP to counter now, or save it for a cheaper claim later.

Running on empty

At 0 SP you're exposed — you can still claim, but you can't counter. Offense only.

Getting the product

When a claim survives its counter window untouched, it locks. That player buys the product at the locked price — often a fraction of retail.

The $0 finals

If the price ever reaches $0, the room goes to a last-call finals. Reach it with SP left and you pocket a bonus — and yes, someone can get the product for $0.

When the room ends

Get the product or not, you leave with value. Every time.

You get the product

It's yours at your locked price. (During the beta this is simulated — nothing ships yet.)

You don't

You still walk away with value. In a paid room you get consolation coins to play more, plus the option to buy the same product at a discount equal to your entry fee. And every room you play — paid or Coins — earns you XP. Your time is never wasted.

Coins are real

Earn them when you get the product, from the daily spin, and from challenges, then spend them on Coins rooms or to buy products outright — they never cost real money. One beta heads-up: coin balances reset to zero when BidBloom launches for real, so enjoy them while you're testing.

Rewards & perks

Daily spin

One free spin a day for coins and discount tickets. The odds are shown before you spin.

Discount tickets

Knock money off an entry fee. Use them fast — they expire 24 hours after you win them.

Daily challenges

Play rooms, reach the finals, fire a counter — finish challenges to bank more coins.

XP & levels

Every room you play earns XP. Level up for status and perks. Your XP is permanent — it carries straight into the paid app.

Shipping

No gimmicks. Nothing up our sleeve. During the free beta, products are not shipped — you're getting the full experience while we finalize fulfillment. When BidBloom launches for real, everything you win ships to you free, anywhere in the United States. No hidden handling fees, ever.
