•• Standard

The staff commissary is always stocked with household goods and supplies at a reasonable cost. This provides the servants of the estate an invaluable service, especially to the live-in staff who may only expect to leave the property once or twice a month.

― Room Directory

The Commissary is a room in Blue Prince. Listed as the first room of the Shops page in the Room Directory, the Commissary is the quintessential Shop, offering a selection of special items that can be purchased with gold.

Drafting

The Commissary does not have drafting restrictions.

Items

With high luck, gems can appear next to the dirigiblocks cabinet.

The Commissary store will always sell four items and/or sets of items. All of the items and their prices are drawn from the following pool:

Item	Cost	Image
Gem	3
Key	10
Banana	3
Set of gems	10
Magnifying Glass	4
Salt Shaker	5
Compass	6
Shovel	6
Running Shoes	8
Sleeping Mask	8
Sledge Hammer	8
Metal Detector	10
Upgrade Disk	15

The offered items come from a fixed list of selections which is chosen at the time the Commissary is drafted. For a selection to be offered, every special item in that selection must be available in the current item pool. For instance, if there is an existing room in the house containing a Shovel, then a newly drafted Commissary will not sell a Compass because the only selection offering a Compass also offers the Shovel.

List of standard Commissary item selections
A	Gems	Magnifying Glass	Shovel	Set of gems

B	Gems	Salt Shaker	Shovel	Keys

C	Salt Shaker	Compass	Shovel	Sledge Hammer

D	Magnifying Glass	Sledge Hammer	Sleeping Mask	Running Shoes

E	Gems	Salt Shaker	Sledge Hammer	Metal Detector

F	Gems	Sledge Hammer	Set of gems	Running Shoes

G	Salt Shaker	Shovel	Sleeping Mask	Metal Detector

Each Commissary contains physical, non-interactable models of the items for sale behind the counter, clearly visible while using the shop interface. Multiple copies of most special items are shown. Purchasing a special item marks it as being "Owned.", though the number of visible items in the back of the Commissary doesn't change. Special items are also marked "Owned." if they are found elsewhere in the estate before being bought, preventing the Commissary from selling additional copies of them.

Resource items have multiple stock and can be purchased a number of times before being marked as "Sold Out". The exact stock can be seen behind the counter and is visually depleted with each purchase.

Gems have 5 stock.
Keys have 3 stock.
Bananas have 4 stock.
Sets of gems have only 1 stock, but contain 4 gems, working out to 2.5 per gem.

Reserve selections

With enough special items at the time the Commissary is drafted, it is possible that none of the seven usual selections are valid. This can occur with just two or three items, e.g. a Shovel and a Sledge Hammer.

When this happens, one of the following selections is chosen. The Shovel is always included if it is available, and the Commissary's Upgrade Disk is included if one has not already been used. Once an Upgraded Disk has been bought from the Commissary and used, the selections offering it become permanently unavailable. The selection containing bananas is only ever offered as a last resort.

The reserve selection with a Shovel but no Upgrade Disk appears to be visually bugged, as it has unpurchasable Upgrade Disks in the background and the price tags point to incorrect locations on the screen.

Set of gems	10	5
Compass	6	3
Magnifying Glass	4	2

Sold Out

A special item appearing for sale in the Commissary is not removed from the item pool until bought, and thus can still spawn in rooms drafted after the Commissary. If this happens and that item is removed from the item pool, the item becomes sold out in the Commissary.

Documents

A poster indicating the days of the sale can be found on the wall just right of the shop.

Left of the shop is a pin board with several documents.

A staff notice mentions the transition from paper-based payroll systems to electronic terminals and tells of the location of two of them: Security and the Laboratory. The password to access the network where payroll is managed is crossed out.
- This poster also appears in Security and the [Upgrade Spoiler: Break Room] .
A memo states that the Commissary is closed on days 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
- As this is a red memo, it is false; there are no known days where the Commissary is unavailable.
Though not inspectable, the Commissary contains twin artwork with sticky notes pointing to them. The left frame is marked by "WITH?" and the right frame is marked "WITHOUT?"

Activating The Sail will cause the Commissary items to go on sale today. This sale works identically to the Commissary's own sale, except that the sale poster is replaced by the Sale Sail poster. A badge for The Sail also appears in the shop interface.

Special Orders

As a Shop

Drafting the Commissary can trigger a particular experimental trigger which is activated by drafting Shops.
The Commissary is drawn significantly more often during a Shops-restricted draft, initiated by using the gold book in the Secret Passage or by using the Prism Key on a locked Shop door.
- The Commissary can appear consistently as a default option even after it has been drafted once the draft pool is depleted, typically appearing in Slot 1 once the pool is completely devoid of valid Shops.
[Outer Room: Shrine] Drafting the Commissary with the Blessing of the High Roller active will give the player 1.
[Outer Room: Shrine] Drafting the Commissary while cursed will cause the player to lose 1.
[Game Mode: Dare Mode] A dare in Dare Mode to make exactly 1 purchase or trade in each shop you draft impacts the Commissary.

Additional information

The inactive arcade cabinet

The Commissary contains a "Dirigiblocks" arcade cabinet which cannot be interacted with.
- It has been stated that the Dirigiblocks minigame will be added to Blue Prince in Patch 1.10, though it is unclear if it will be accessible via this cabinet.
- In the Utility Closet, there is a crossed out label that reads "CABINET" with no associated switch. It is possible that this label is meant to correspond to this inactive arcade cabinet.
The Commissary's floorplan icon appears on page 10 of Drafting Strategy: Architectural Digest Vol. 1 as an example of a Shop.
The Commissary can be glimpsed on the monitors in the Security cinematic, though not on the actual Security monitors themselves.
Prior to Patch 1.6, certain item selections in the Commissary had discrepancies in their price labels while on sale. These discrepancies were purely visual and did not affect their actual cost.
- Running Shoes were always shown with the undiscounted price of 8 in the shop menu, but only cost 4 to purchase on sale.
- In the selection containing the Compass, the Salt Shaker's price was shown as 2 but actually cost 3 on sale.
