Info for those of you interested in downloading it:
You cannot play without paying. Yes this is true. 5 dollars gets you 3 tickets, one of which has to be used to enter the lowest ranked housing. From what was said in the intro, in order to move onto other houses you need to not only WIN your game, but you also need to pay MORE tickets to access each house, so I'm assuming that each 'tier' of house costs more tickets to get into.
You can SPECTATE houses, but cannot see PMs. At the moment there is a game being played by past BBUS and BBCAN players, and it seems to be the most popular. You can also send gifts to houseguests without playing the game.
Noteworthy Rules:
Communication outside of the App is FORBIDDEN and if discovered you will be removed from the game by Big Brother. This includes finding each other personally through email and chat-based sites and apps.
You do have to pay to privately message people. Not MONEY, but BB currency earned in the house by doing chores. You can leave your character to gain money easily, OR you can tap away and chip the time down to about 1/10th its original requirement.
Players have to wait until the following day to play in the competitions (which sucked ass for us as we got into our house at like 3 AM EST). I'm not sure if all competitions are timed the same way, but ours are spread out through the day with the HOH comp beginning at 11 PM EST, while the Veto is closer to 5PM EST and the eviction is even later than that.
From what I can see, you CANNOT buy in-game currency. I could be wrong on this, but if that is true then the only way you can actually PM is to do chores, so you're stuck there.
The first house is limited to 8 people, but can hold as many as 14 (there are 14 beds and 14 wardrobes). Different houses are apparently available, and I'm assuming that as you win each tier, the house becomes gradually more grand and enjoyable. HOPEFULLY they're not all just copy/pastes with very few differences.
Something noteworthy (in my opinion) is that they LABEL you (via a quick quiz) before you go into your first house, and apparently you are cast based on your own label and those of your castmates. For example, I was labeled 'The Champion'. This is not some private label either, as it is present on your profile.
And this is everything I know so far! If you're interested in joining, I can promise that it does seem fun at first. Kind of like a more BB Casting game. *shrug* Hopefully I continue having fun on it when the competitions start XD
Brad13535 Yep. And the threat of expulsion from the game keeps people from giving out their skypes / emails in chat. AND nobody Watching The game can see the PMS and rat out what's going on to the housemates. It's a very fine system
