Escape the Backrooms Level 94 Guide: Motion, The Castle & Funhouse Walkthrough

Level 94, also known as "Motion," is a deceptive level that begins with a surreal, grassy landscape known as the Transparent Hills and ends in a terrifying Funhouse dungeon. Time is your enemy here—you must race against the sunset to reach the floating castle before the entities come out to hunt.

Escape the Backrooms: Level 94 Walkthrough Video

Video Highlights:

• The Restart Trick: How to reset the day timer to ensure you reach the castle safely.
• Safe Zones: Utilizing high ground, fences, and houses to avoid the "Animation" entities.
• The Van: Using the vehicle and Almond Water (Juice) for maximum speed.
• The Funhouse: Solving the shape puzzle and cheesing the Clown encounter.

Part 1: The Transparent Hills (Race to the Castle)

Upon spawning, you are on a road winding through grassy hills. Your goal is the large water tower and the floating castle in the distance.

The Day/Night Cycle & Entities

• Time Limit: You have exactly 3 minutes of daylight when you first spawn. Once night falls, the entities—wooden puppet children known as "Animations"—will emerge and kill you instantly.
• Subsequent Cycles: After the first night, daylight only lasts 1 minute and 45 seconds.
• The Restart Strategy: As mentioned in the video, if you are halfway through and the sun is setting, you can reload your save file. This resets the daylight timer back to the full 3 minutes, guaranteeing you enough time to reach the castle.

Survival & Safe Spots

If you get caught out at night, you must hide immediately:

• Inside Houses: Hide under beds, on top of beds, or inside cabinets. Turn off the lights to prevent Animations from entering.
• High Ground: Animations cannot spawn or reach high altitudes. The tops of steep hills are generally safe.
• The Fence Glitch: Standing on fence posts often prevents the AI from detecting or reaching you.

The Van & The Juice

Halfway up the road, you will find a delivery truck. Enter the back to find Almond Water (Juice). Drinking this gives you a stamina boost. The truck will drive you part of the way up the hill automatically. Note: Recent updates prevent players from standing on the truck's roof.

Part 2: The Floating Castle

Once the truck stops or you reach the top of the hill, look for a rope hanging from the sky (press 'F' to interact, or aim for the circle on the ground). This teleports you into the Castle interior.

The Shape Puzzle

Inside the funhouse, you will find blocks with shapes (Star, Square, Circle) and corresponding floor slots.

Part 3: The Clown & The Rollercoaster

After opening the door, you enter an amusement park area guarded by a Clown Entity.

Entity Mechanics: The Clown

• Behavior: The Clown functions similarly to a "Weeping Angel." He attacks when you cannot see him (or if you turn your back). You must keep line-of-sight with him to freeze him in place.
• Objective: A timer on the wall counts down from 100 seconds. You must survive until it hits zero, at which point the rollercoaster cart will arrive.

The Safe Spot Exploit (Cheese Strategy)

As shown in the video, you don't need to run around the room risking death.

1. Jump the Railing: Near the entrance or the tables, you can jump over the railings onto the furniture.
2. Invisible Wall: There is an invisible wall near the center pillar/stools. If you crouch-jump into this corner, the Clown's AI cannot reach you.
3. Visual Settings: If the room is too dark, lower your "Shadow Quality" in settings. This renders the Clown as a bright white object, making him easier to track in the fog.

Once the timer reaches 100 (or 0, depending on the display), the gate opens. Sprint to the coaster cart to exit the level and proceed to Level 6.
