Choose the Area You Are In
Maps for the covered areas, with route notes and links to the matching guides.
Level 0 Map
Use the ladder, locked door and pitfall area to orient yourself in the yellow maze. This Level 0 map connects the repair-and-key objective with the exits toward Level 1.
Level 1 Floor 1 Map
Find the car room before heading to the elevator on Level 1 Floor 1. The marked entrance and color-code elevator give your group shared landmarks while you work out the next floor.
Level 1 Floor 3 Map
Match your position to the darkness entrance, downward ramp or elevator exits on Level 1 Floor 3. These landmarks help you choose a floor connection without repeatedly retracing the same corridors.
Level 2 Map
Check which entrance you are heading toward before committing to another pipe corridor. The Level 2 map distinguishes the route to the Electrical Station from the entrance to Level Fun.
Level 37 Map
Locate your spawn and trace a Poolrooms route around the dark-tiled rooms and hot-water stairs. The map also marks the Hub door and the entrance to Level ! so you can choose your destination.
Level 3 Map
Plan your breaker search across the East Substation, West Substation and Generator areas. This Level 3 map pairs the nine-breaker objective with the zones where Hounds and electrical puddles complicate movement.
Level 4 Map
Separate the vending-machine puzzle from the camera section before crossing the abandoned office. Use the marked reset button, vent and Level 5 entrance to recover your route if a camera spots you.
Level 9 Map
Start with the gate terminal, then plan which houses to check for computers. This Level 9 map distinguishes houses with Wretches and marks the Outpost, Hub and Level 10 entrances.
Escape the Backrooms Level 5 Map: Terror Hotel
Choose the map for the Hotel task currently blocking your group: Main Hall keys, mailbox papers or the Boiler Room exit. Each section highlights the landmarks needed to finish that part of Level 5.
Escape the Backrooms: The End Map
Use the library layout to locate the computer, fire alarms and tables before searching for tapes. The separate tape reference suggests shelf areas to check; its observed spawn dots are not guaranteed pickups.
