About game
Staring at the clock waiting for the workday to end feels like a slow crawl through eternity. Build Your Backrooms solves that boredom by putting you in charge of a spooky maze where you decide the layout. You start with a small plot and a single monster, but your goal is to grow a complex network of yellow corridors and flickering hallways. Visitors wander into your trap, and the deeper they get lost, the more profit you earn from their confusion. Manage five different guest types ranging from clueless newbies to wealthy tycoons who require high-level architecture. Expand your floor plan using wet carpets and empty office corners to maximize your earnings. Hit the rebirth button once you feel like a pro to reset your progress while stacking permanent income multipliers for future runs. Unlock fresh biomes as you master the art of the perfect layout. Jump into this backrooms challenge right in your browser without any downloads required.
