Escape the Backrooms Level 0.11 Guide: Water Damage

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions
What is Escape the Backrooms?
Escape the Backrooms is a first-person horror adventure developed by Fancy Games and published by Secret Mode. Its route moves through main levels, optional areas, hidden rooms, and transitions with different entities and puzzles. The game supports solo play and co-op for up to four players.
How many levels are in the game?
This site currently publishes 36 level guides: 29 for the main route and 7 for hidden or optional content. That is our guide count, not a claim that the game has 36 official level labels; we document some routes and sub-areas separately so players can find the exact section where they are stuck.
Where can I find maps for specific levels?
You can find detailed Escape the Backrooms navigation maps in our Maps & Keys section. Each Escape the Backrooms map includes spawn points, key locations, and exit routes. Escape the Backrooms maps are organized by level and include visual markers to help you navigate. Simply navigate to the Maps & Keys page and select the Escape the Backrooms level map you need.
How do I find keys in each level?
Keys are essential for progressing through many Escape the Backrooms levels. Our Maps & Keys section provides detailed information about key locations for each Escape the Backrooms level. For example, Level 0 in Escape the Backrooms requires finding a key after repairing the ladder, Level 1 has 4 keys hidden in wardrobes in Section II, and Level 5 keys are obtained by placing Moth Jelly in the Food Elevator in Escape the Backrooms.
What are elevator codes and door codes?
Some locks use a fixed password, while others generate their answer from objects or clues in the current run. Our Codes & Solutions page separates fixed answers such as the M.E.G. Base computer password and Level 3999 ticket code from variable puzzles such as the Level 1 car colours and Level 4 object counts.
How do I avoid entities like the Hound or Moth?
Our growing Entity Database focuses on the creatures already covered by our routes, with level-specific behavior and escape advice. For example, save the flashlight stun for a charging Hound, and crouch near the Death Moths in the Cave System instead of shining a light directly at them.
What is Level 3999 and the task list system?
Level 3999 is the final level and true ending of Escape the Backrooms. It features a unique task list system where players must complete randomly generated tasks (like breaking glass, finding specific items, or solving puzzles) before being able to escape Escape the Backrooms. This is currently the only "escape" ending in Escape the Backrooms. Our Escape the Backrooms level guides provide detailed walkthroughs for completing these tasks.
How do I navigate between levels?
Each Escape the Backrooms level has specific entrances and exits. Our Escape the Backrooms level guides detail all possible entrances and exits for each level. Some Escape the Backrooms levels can be accessed from multiple previous levels, while others have only one entry point. The Escape the Backrooms progression is generally linear, but some levels offer alternative routes or shortcuts.
Can I play this game with friends?
Yes! Escape the Backrooms supports cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players. You can play Escape the Backrooms with friends to make navigation easier, share resources, and help each other complete Escape the Backrooms objectives. However, Escape the Backrooms can also be completed solo if you prefer a more challenging experience.
What should I do if I get stuck in a level?
If you get stuck in Escape the Backrooms, check our detailed Escape the Backrooms level walkthroughs which include step-by-step instructions, objectives, and exit routes. You can also refer to our Escape the Backrooms maps to see the level layout, check the codes section if you need an Escape the Backrooms code, or consult the entity database if you're having trouble avoiding Escape the Backrooms entities. Each Escape the Backrooms guide is designed to help you progress without spoiling the entire experience.
