'''''Bidiots''''' is a party video game and one of five games featured in [[The Jackbox Party Pack 2]].

== Gameplay ==
You're given two separate but vague prompts on your device's screen and you have to draw them within the 90 seconds that are given to you. Both of the drawings have a hidden monetary value added to them. Once all the drawings have been submitted, the bidding phase will commence.

Everyone will have a starting deposit of $3,000 to bid, with three other separate prompts with their values next to them, aswell as some investors who will give some hints along the way.

Every drawing will have a starting bid of $400, of which the players will have the choice to either bid an additional $100, $200 or $300 to the pool, as long as they have the sufficient amount of money to do so. Once the bidding has stopped for a significant about of time, the host will enact a three-second long timer, which if nobody jumps in, the last bidder will obtain the drawing.

Once the bidding ends, the artist of the original drawing will get half of the player's bid (or if the player bought their own art, they won't earn half of it back,) and the price is shown on-screen, which could either be a loss, a profit, or breaking even, and is cashed in their bank.

At the end of every round, if anyone presses the "Call bank" option on their device at any part of a round, this will bring up the Predatory Loans, of which you can take a $1,000 loan from them, but with a $1,500 penalty at the end of the game, which will increase the more loans you take.

At the mid-point of the game, screws will appear, which, if used, will force another player to bid on a drawing as long as they have enough money to do so.

After all the drawings have been bid on, everyone's remaining cash will be shown along with the values of the drawings they bought one by one, then everyone's scores are tallied, the Predatory Loans are cashed out and the player with the most cash by the end wins.
