01
How a run works
Summary
In short
Every run follows the same loop: reach the exit while staying ahead of the infected.
Each level puts you in an area with an exit somewhere ahead and infected monsters hunting you down. Your only goal is to reach that exit without getting caught. Clear it and you move on to the next level, with the difficulty stepping up each time.
- Objective reach the exit at the end of each level
- Threat infected monsters chase you throughout the level
- Progression clearing a level unlocks the next area
- Reward scrap scattered around the level earns you in-game money

02
Level order and difficulty
StepIn short
The game runs from Level 0 to Level 3 in half-step increments, with each stage harder than the last.
You start at Level 0, which eases you into the game. From there, difficulty climbs in half-step jumps all the way to Level 3. Finishing every level puts you among the few players who fully escape.
- Level 0 the opening stage
- Level 1
- Level 1.5
- Level 2
- Level 2.5
- Level 3 the final level; clearing it means you have fully escaped

04
Shaking off the infected
TipsIn short
Breaking your path and using the environment are the two most reliable ways to survive.
Each monster has its own movement pattern. The key is to stop running in straight lines — changing direction throws off a monster's prediction of where you are heading. Putting solid objects between you and a pursuer buys time.
Tips worth knowing
- Check where the exit is before you start sprinting so you are never doubling back
- Use walls and buildings to block the monster's line of sight
- Keep enough distance between you and the infected so you have time to react
- If a monster is visible and closing in, turn and run the opposite way immediately
05
Collecting scrap safely
CheckIn short
Scrap is worth grabbing, but never let it pull you into danger.
Scrap is spread across each level and converts into in-game money when collected. Only grab pieces when the coast is clear.
- Notice scrap locations as you run so you can loop back if it is safe
- Pick up scrap only when no monster is approaching

Common questions
FAQDo I have to collect scrap, or can I ignore it?
You can ignore it and still clear each level — reaching the exit is all that is required. Scrap just earns you money, so picking it up when it is safe gives you more to spend on items.
How many levels are there in total?
There are six levels: 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3. Clearing all six means you have fully escaped the game.
How do I get the exclusive hats?
Clear the cave area to unlock the Escaped the Maze badge and its exclusive hat. If you played during the beta, you already have a separate exclusive hat tied to the Played BETA badge.
What is the Backrooms event?
It is a special event inside the game. Stay alive for ten minutes during it and you earn the Survived Backrooms badge.
