The Hidden Lot: Bid. Salvage. Restore.

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: six vault types, each with its own lock puzzle - dial, pin rhythm, keypad, time-lock and more. Or force it with a drill, a thermal lance or the mega press.

SALVAGE

• Cut-away teardown: pry, smash, cut weak points, brace leaning stacks and sweep the floor. Break the wrong thing and the treasure breaks with it.

• Magnet crane: lift heavy pieces out - and sometimes a hidden floor safe nobody knew was there.

• Scrap press: slam the junk into cubes - time it in the green zone for 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 in display cases that grow from 3 to 12.

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).

• Daily Challenge with a fixed starting loadout.
