Backrooms: escape the horror maze with your friends

About Backrooms

Backrooms is an online multiplayer horror and escape game where you are trapped in the eerie maze of the Backrooms. Your goal is to escape or, at least, survive trying while you explore and solve puzzles.

You can play solo or team up with friends in this co-op horror experience. The levels are surreal, each one is unique and full of hidden threats, and proximity voice chat means you only hear your teammates when they are close, which raises the tension. If you want to play Backrooms online for free, you can launch it right in your computer browser, with no download and no sign-up.

How to play Backrooms?

A run means moving through the levels, finding what you need to open the exit and not letting the entities catch you. The basic steps are:

Explore each level carefully: every one is different and hides threats.
Solve puzzles: find keys, fix circuits and unlock the escape routes.
If you play as a team, stay close to your teammates so you can talk to them through voice chat.
Avoid the entities: stay quiet, hide and run if you have to until you reach the exit.

Tips and tricks: Backrooms

Keep your team together: voice only works when you are close, and a nearby teammate can save you.
Move slowly and quietly; entities hunt you when you make noise.
Look closely at the environment: keys and broken circuits are often in hard-to-see corners.
Plan your escape route before entering a new area.
