BEAR (Alpha) Black Friday: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Black Friday is BEAR (Alpha)’s store-wide sale, cycling a fresh set of discounted items into the shop each day and bringing back the limited “spicy” server skins that only appear while the event is live. In a survival game where gear and cosmetics are normally earned the slow way, it is one of the rare stretches where players can stock up at a real discount, which is why the shop sees a rush the moment it opens.
BEAR (Alpha), the long-running survival experience from Cheedaman, is a genuine Roblox mainstay — a title with more than a million favorites and about 360,000,000 lifetime visits that still draws about 2,400 players at any given moment. Black Friday returns on a recurring schedule, and the next run opens Tuesday, November 24 at 2 PM ET.

When Black Friday runs and how to catch it
Black Friday opens on a recurring schedule at a fixed time of day. The start slot is 2:00 PM ET, and because BEAR (Alpha)’s audience is spread across every continent, that one clock time lands very differently depending on where a player lives. Here is how the 2:00 PM ET start converts across the major regions so you can line it up wherever you are:
| Region | Black Friday start |
|---|---|
| US Eastern | 2:00 PM |
| US Pacific | 11:00 AM |
| UK (GMT) | 7:00 PM |
| Central Europe (CET) | 8:00 PM |
| India (IST) | 12:30 AM (next day) |
| Japan (JST) | 4:00 AM (next day) |
| Australia (AEDT) | 6:00 AM (next day) |
The next date sits on the card above, alongside the usual start time. If you miss an opening, the sale comes back around on its regular cadence, so there is always a following run to plan for.
What’s in the Black Friday sale
The event is built around rotation, so what is on offer changes from one day to the next rather than sitting as a single fixed bundle. Expect:
- Daily rotating discounts — a new selection of sale-priced items swaps into the store each day of the run, rewarding players who check back more than once.
- Returning “spicy” server skins — the limited cosmetic server skins that only surface during this sale come back for the duration, giving collectors a window to grab ones they missed.
Tips for making the most of it
Because the stock rotates daily, the single most useful habit is to log in on more than one day of the run rather than treating it as a one-visit event — the item you want may only appear on a later day. Pick whichever of the regional times above is convenient for you and set a reminder a few minutes ahead of it; the 2:00 PM ET start is afternoon in the Americas and late evening in Europe, while players in Asia and Australia will want to catch it in their early-morning hours. And if the timing simply does not work one cycle, there is no need to rush — the sale returns on schedule.
How Black Friday fits BEAR (Alpha)’s event calendar
BEAR (Alpha) leans on a steady rotation of seasonal and anniversary events to keep its survivors coming back, from the Halloween run to the “Seven Years, Yes?” celebration marking the game’s age, plus content drops such as “Issa Update.” Black Friday is the shopping-focused entry in that calendar — where the others lean on themed content, this one is squarely about the store, making it the event to watch if you have been holding out for a deal on items or cosmetics.
