Escape the Backrooms Codes & Puzzle Solutions

At the start of the level, you need to explore and find 4 ladder pieces to repair the broken ladder. After finding all pieces, climb the ladder to get the key, then locate a wooden door and use the key to unlock it.

In the miniature Level 0.2 area, use the light switch. When the lights go out briefly, shapes will appear over numbers on the wall, indicating the locker code. Each switch press reveals the next symbol. The code is: Square, Circle, Arrow. Opening the locker grants you a Chainsaw to break the boards in the Manilla Room and enter Level 0.11.

At the elevator, there is a color-coded lock that requires finding the correct color sequence. Look for a red door, and after entering, you'll find a room containing 4 different colored cars. Count the number of cars of each color, then press the corresponding color buttons on the elevator keypad. For example: if you see 1 blue car, 2 red cars, and 1 green car, press 1 blue button, 2 red buttons, and 1 green button.

Floor 2 is much larger than Floor 1. Your objective is to find 4 keys scattered throughout the rooms. Keys can be found on desks, inside closets, or in open drawers. After collecting all 4 keys, locate the room with a vault door. Insert each key into the 4 different keyholes around the room, then turn all keys simultaneously. Note: The keys will automatically unturn after some time, so act quickly. If all keys are turned at the same time, the vault door will open, allowing progression to Floor 3.

Floor 3 is a dimly-lit area consisting of 3 individual floors. Each floor has the same basic structure but with slight layout variations. You need to search for an elevator that will take you to Floor 4. There is one possible elevator spawn location per floor, and which floor contains the elevator is randomized. If you encounter a locked door, that indicates a potential elevator spawn location that didn't activate on your current floor.

Level 3 does not use a universal 042 code. Progress comes from powering the fuse boxes in each zone and completing the generator wire puzzles.

In Zone 1 (East Substation), you need to find and enable 3 Fuse Boxes. For the normal Fuse Box, simply flip all the switches to activate it. After enabling all 3, the locked bars at the entrance of Zone 1 will open, allowing access to Zone 2.

Zone 2 (West Substation) is much darker and more dangerous than Zone 1. Again, you need to find and enable 3 Fuse Boxes. This zone has Hounds roaming around, so have a Flashlight ready to blind them. After enabling all 3 Fuse Boxes, the other bars in the big room will open, allowing access to Zone 3.

Zone 3 (Generator) is the most dangerous zone. The Fuse Boxes here are puzzle-based. There are two types of puzzles:

After entering The M.E.G. Base, you need to unlock the computer. The password is "itheardyou". After entering the password, open the file "Gate.exe" to unlock the gate in Level 1.

Level 4 does not have a universal 729 code. The numbers needed here come from counting the requested objects in the current room, so the answer can change between runs.

At the start of the level, look for a room with 4 different vending machines. The door leading to this room is locked. To unlock it, you need to use the vending machines. Every vending machine is associated with an object type: chairs, tables, water coolers, and stacks of books. Count how many of each object is in the room, then on the vending machines, select the corresponding number button (not the object button, but the number button). If all values are correct, the door will open.

After the vending machine puzzle, you'll enter a room full of cubicles. Find the "Reset Cameras" button located at the very end of the room and press it. Then you must sneak past 4 different Security Cameras scattered throughout multiple rooms. If you get spotted by a Camera, it will flash red and trigger an alarm, causing the door to Level 5 to be locked. You'll need to use a Crowbar to break open the Vent in the hallway to try again. Don't get seen by any Cameras, and the door will open.

Level 5 does not use 314 as a universal elevator code. The fixed number entry appears later at Room 235, where the current run uses one of the three listed combinations.

In the Lobby of The Main Hall, there are four paintings on the walls, each depicting a person of different age: a young girl, a young adult man, a middle-aged man, and an old man. Under each painting is a button. Press the buttons in order from the youngest person in the painting to the oldest person. Once you do that, the door to the rest of The Main Hall will open.

In the left hallway of The Main Hall is a Dumbwaiter with a Note that says "iF YOU FEED THEM THEY WiLL REWARD YOU". Using Bug Spray, you need to search the whole floor for three clusters of Male Deathmoths to get Moth Jelly. Use Bug Spray on a cluster of Male Deathmoths and they will die and turn into Moth Jelly. Putting the Moth Jelly in the Dumbwaiter and sending it down will reward a Key when it comes back up, so you will need three things of Moth Jelly. Using all three Keys on the locks on the glass door will open a hallway leading to the Elevator.

In The Hotel floor, there is a Mailbox that has compartments for each main room. 7 of the boxes will be open (the open boxes are different every time). You need to travel to those rooms and collect papers that are on a drawer in the room. Once you collect a paper, you can place it in the mailbox, and it will automatically be placed in its position. Once you put all of the papers into the open Mailboxes, a code will appear on the ceiling. The papers spell out "LOOK UP", hinting at the ceiling code. Put the code into the Number Lock on the Room 235 door. There are only 3 possible codes for the Number Lock:

• 17564
• 05938
• 89472

Level 8 does not use a universal 826 code. Follow the cave route, deal with the M.E.G. door mechanism, and use the level objectives rather than a keypad shortcut.

The six-digit keypad used on the Level 188 route accepts 415314. This fixed code is separate from the television-moving objective shown in the current walkthrough.

• 415314

Pick up the prize ticket in the Arcade and enter 931 at the nearby elevator keypad. The true-ending sequence has additional completion requirements; it does not use the word ESCAPE as a password.
