How to Participate in Collab Events

Participating in a collab event requires you to access the event hub, usually located on a specific level of the Backrooms. The entrance is often marked with unique visual cues related to the collaboration theme.

1. Launch the Game and Check the Terminal

   Start Escape the Backrooms and interact with the security terminal in the main hub. Look for a new entry labeled "Event" or "Collab" to see the active event details.

2. Navigate to the Event Level

   Follow the in‑game instructions to reach the designated level. This may involve entering a specific door code or using a new teleportation device. For example, the SCP collab required entering code 188 at the hub door, similar to the /en/guides/188-hub-door/ guide.

3. Complete Event Objectives

   Once on the event level, complete the listed objectives. These can range from finding hidden items to surviving against new entity types. Check the event menu for a checklist of tasks.

4. Claim Your Rewards

   After finishing objectives, return to the main hub and claim your rewards from the event vendor or terminal. Rewards are automatically added to your inventory.

Exclusive Rewards and Items

Collab events are the primary source of exclusive cosmetic items and functional gear. These rewards cannot be obtained through regular gameplay or the gacha system.

Tips for Maximizing Event Rewards

To make the most of every collab event, follow these strategies to ensure you don't miss out on limited‑time content.

Prioritize Daily Objectives: Many events feature daily or weekly objectives that grant bonus currency. Log in each day to complete these tasks, as they often provide the fastest path to the rarest rewards.

Coordinate with Friends: Some collab events include cooperative challenges that are easier to complete with a group. Use the /en/guides/coop-mod/ guide to set up multiplayer sessions and tackle event bosses together.

Check the Wiki Regularly: Event details and hidden secrets are often documented on the /en/guides/wiki/ page. Community‑sourced information can help you find all secret items and Easter eggs before the event ends.

Future of Collab Events

The development team has hinted at more ambitious collaborations in the pipeline, potentially including crossovers with major horror franchises and indie games. Based on community speculation and data mined from recent patches, upcoming events may feature new levels themed after the Hotel and Level Fun, as seen in the /en/guides/hotel-map/ and /en/guides/level-fun-end/ guides.

Players are encouraged to provide feedback on past events through official channels, as the developers often adjust future event designs based on community input. Staying active in the community and following the /en/guides/update/ page will keep you informed about the next exciting collaboration.
