Public, private, spy, group: the show types explained
Five ways to watch a performer and what changes in each. Who can see you, who pays, and how to end a show cleanly.

Every room on Rouge starts public: the performer streams, everyone watches for free, people tip and chat. From there, a show can change shape. Here is what each type means for you.
Public show
The default. Free to watch, open to anyone. Tips are welcome but never required. Interactive toys, tip menus and goals all live here. This is where you get to know a performer before spending anything.
Private show
You and the performer, nobody else. You pay per minute in tokens, at a rate the performer sets and displays before you accept. The public stream pauses for everyone else. You can turn on your own camera (cam to cam) if you want, but you don't have to. Most performers have a minimum length; the room tells you before you start.
Spy show
While a private show runs, other viewers can sometimes pay a smaller per-minute price to watch it without interacting. The person who booked the private can usually refuse spies. If you book a private and want it truly private, look for that option before you start.
Group show
Several viewers share the cost of one show. It is cheaper per person than a private, and you keep the chat. Good for a performer you like when you don't need one-to-one attention.
Ticket show
The performer announces a show, sets a ticket price, and once enough tickets are sold, the public stream switches to ticket holders only. You pay once, not per minute. Think of it as a small event.
Ending a show
You can leave a private or spy show at any moment; billing stops with the minute you are in. Performers can also end a show, for example if the chat gets unpleasant. Nothing is charged after the show ends.
Which one to pick
If you are new: watch public rooms, tip a little, and only book a private with someone whose public show you already enjoy. Group and ticket shows are the cheapest way to see more of a performer without the per-minute clock running.
Questions people ask
Can the performer see me in a private show?
Only if you turn your own camera on (cam to cam). Private means nobody else in the audience, not that you are on screen.
What happens if I run out of tokens mid-show?
The show ends when your balance can no longer cover the next minute. You are never charged beyond what you have.
Can I record a private show?
No. Recording is against the rules everywhere, and some performers offer a paid recording of the session instead.
