Gameplay

House rules

In each episode of Groom My Room, a child contestant will renovate his room on his or her liking coupled with a theme to go along. The contestant is given a budget to spend on and an allocated time frame of two days to renovate the room, with the amount varying each season (see table). The contestant is assisted along with an interior designer and a group of room managers (dubbed as "room groomers"), and is given two "lifelines" to use throughout the course of the entire game (a parent and/or a friend of the contestant). Successfully refurnishing the room under the allocated budget, a given time frame and help using no more than two "lifelines" will award the contestant a bonus $100 voucher as a prize. Prior to season five, the contestant is given three days to refurnish the room and any time they spent on their shopping are cumulative towards their time frame.

Twists were also used in later seasons though only used on one season only. In the second season (Groom My Room Too), the contestant can also increase their budget through a fundraising event which also cumulates towards their time spent. In season eight, a mystery guest, a celebrity will also join along.

Notes
gollark: If it's just static content, I can add it to the endless list of random things on my website, but there would probably need to be a way to update it.
gollark: Time to save that on my notes thing somewhere and maybe pay attention to it eventually!
gollark: Is there a list of these "good" engineering YouTubers somewhere? I forgot the ones people were talking about earlier and I'm interested in new stuff to watch.
gollark: I totally would, assuming you count occasionally alt-tabbing to it sitting through it.
gollark: > imagine what styro could do with the budget of him or the hacksmithIn the longish run, advancing technology should have a similar effect to higher budgets.
