About This Game

Read the clues. Rescue the finds. Build your collection.

The doors open for a few seconds. You get a flashlight, a UV lamp, a knock hammer and a crumpled manifest. Then the bidding starts - and three rival bidders who know just as little as you do.

The Hidden Lot is a single-player storage auction and restoration sim. Win the locker, tear it apart in a cut-away view, carry the good stuff to your workbench, and decide what every find is really worth.

BID

• Clue tools at the door: flashlight, UV lamp for drag marks and collector stamps, knock hammer (metal clang, wood thud, hollow echo), and the weight manifest.

• Rivals with personalities: Salvage Dan, Victoria, Big Mouth Roy and more. They guess from the same clues you see - and some of them bluff.

• Real auction tension: raise, power-jump, or snipe in the last seconds. A late bid adds time to the clock.

• Safe auctions: torch-cut the welds point by point to open the vault - or drop the whole safe into the mega press.

SALVAGE

• Cut-away teardown: pry and smash the shell apart, sort every find by hand and sweep the floor. Break the wrong thing and the treasure breaks with it.

• Hidden floor safes: sometimes a locked floor safe turns up under the junk - carry it to the bench and crack it open.

• Scrap press: slam the junk into bales - a clean, fast pull of the lever earns a better grade.

RESTORE

• Workbench restoration: pick the right brush, polish or filler for each material. Some antiques lose value if you over-clean their patina.

• Authentic or replica? Turn the piece 360 degrees, find the tell, then make your call. A wrong call costs you.

• Your museum: sell, pawn, deliver to a VIP buyer, or keep your best pieces on display in your own museum.

A collection worth chasing

• 2,000+ collectibles in 10 collecting categories - watches, coins, comics, records, toys, video games, sports cards and more.

• 5 leagues, from a local garage to the Private Collection.

• A story told through the harbor newspaper, jobs and rival arcs.

• STANDARD seasons with bankruptcy on the line, or RELAXED seasons with no bankruptcy (unranked).
