Hosting a Co-op Session for Up to Three Players

Descent Into the Backrooms supports solo play or multiplayer groups of up to three players total. Because the map relies on Adventure mode to keep environment interactions working properly, you need to set up your session so joining friends follow the same rules and spawn inside the yellow rooms together.

Hosting Through Open to LAN

1. Load the world in singleplayer first so you spawn properly inside the starting yellow rooms.

2. Open the pause menu and click Open to LAN.

3. Set Game Mode to Adventure so your friends enter with the intended restrictions right away.

4. Leave Allow Commands turned off to prevent anyone from accidentally bypassing the map's corridor layout.

5. Invite up to two friends to join over your local network. Do not bring more than three total players into the world, as the horror pacing and layout are built specifically around that limit.

Coordinating Your Start

In multiplayer, players occasionally load in moments apart; holding still until your whole group is present ensures nobody wanders into empty corridors alone before you are ready to search for an escape.
