Escape the Backrooms Platinum Trophy Guide (PS5)

Escape the Backrooms

PS5

Reaching an ending solo is only part of the Escape the Backrooms platinum. The PS5 list rewards exits across many levels, but the multiplayer difficulties require a team, and Nightmare calls for four players. Use the first expedition to learn the routes before committing to the least forgiving run.

Roadmap for the PS5 list with level exits, co-op difficulties and survival checks.

  • Multiplayer: Required; four players for Nightmare
  • Difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard and Nightmare have dedicated trophies
  • Exits: Check the PS5 list for level exits you still need
  • Platform: PS5 with cross-play

Learn the Level 0 exit

Do not sprint straight into the yellow corridors on your first descent. Locate the broken ladder area and learn to recognize the route back to it instead of following every junction. For Survivalist, stay alive in Level 0 for 15 minutes. Do this on a separate attempt and wait somewhere sheltered before taking the exit. The level trophy requires escaping, so check both entries.

  • Stay alive for 15 minutes before leaving.
  • Learn the route to the ladder.

Power up the Hub and log your exits

On the main route, enter the Hub and turn on the outpost power: the trophy asks for more than reaching the room. Then mark off each PS5 exit trophy as you pass the electrical station, offices, hotel and later levels. Keep side routes such as Snackrooms, Death Slides and Grassrooms separate in your notes: seeing credits does not tell you that you took every branch.

  • Switch on the outpost power.
  • Mark off exits that actually unlocked.

Finish the Level 55.1 photo route

Take the camera near the computers and check the requested subject before moving the elevator. The lever stops the platform at different layers: use the reference picture to identify the van, statues and entities, then check that the objective advances. With friends, agree on who moves the platform and who takes the pictures so no one gets stranded when it is time to go back up.

  • Check the objective after each picture.
  • Check Escape Level 55.1 and Escaped! separately.

Rehearse together on Easy, Normal and Hard

Create a multiplayer session and agree on the difficulty before setting out. Use Easy to talk through puzzles, Normal to practice sanity management, and Hard to get the whole team safely to each exit. Have one person call directions at junctions and have anyone who falls behind say so before the others leave the area. After each clear, check the trophy for that setting instead of counting on lower difficulties unlocking automatically.

  • Confirm the difficulty in the lobby.
  • Track Participation Trophy, Squad and Group Effort.

Take on Nightmare with four players

Assemble four players before starting a Nightmare file and save the attempt for teammates who already know the exits. A death can end the run, so do not improvise in rooms with entities; agree on safe spots to restock in advance. Keep proximity chat for safe areas when enemies can hear you. At the ending, have everyone check the trophy on their own console.

  • Start with four players.
  • Rehearse the riskiest rooms before the attempt.

Trophies to watch

Survivalist

Group Effort

Beat the game in Multiplayer with Hard difficulty.

Select Hard in multiplayer and finish the game. Rehearse the rooms where it is easiest to split up.

Find the exit in Level 55.1.

Use the camera reference to choose the floor and verify that each successful photo advances the objective.

Frequently asked questions

Can I earn the platinum solo?

No. You can explore solo, but the PS5 list has multiplayer trophies for Easy, Normal and Hard, and Nightmare requires four players.

Do all four players need a PS5?

Secret Mode confirms cross-play across PS5, PC and Xbox Series. Make sure your teammates are on compatible builds and that the lobby contains four people before a Nightmare run.

Do I need every exit on Nightmare?

Individual exit trophies do not specify a difficulty. You can work on them on a calmer run; track the full Nightmare clear separately.
