If you’ve ever found yourself trapped in the endless yellow halls of The Backrooms in Drive Beyond Horizons, you know how disorienting—and downright creepy—it can be. This guide is here to help you not only survive but actually beat this strange dimension. Inside, you’ll find clear steps for navigating the maze, avoiding common pitfalls, and uncovering the secrets that will lead you to escape. Whether you’re a first-time explorer or someone who’s been stuck wandering for hours, this guide will give you the knowledge and confidence to finally conquer The Backrooms.
How to Enter
First start a new game (optional, but recommended). To enter The Backrooms in Drive Beyond Horizons, you’ll need to head to the California Motel. Once you arrive, look for the second door along the row of rooms. Directly in front of the door, you’ll find two tools on the ground. The first is a small black rectangle, which functions as a monster tracker it lets you know how close the creature is. The second is a sound amplifier, which, from what I’ve seen, doesn’t seem to do much aside from beeping every so often. I even tried pointing it directly at the monster, but nothing happened. My best guess is that it might be designed to project your microphone’s sound in order to lure the creature. Walk inside and wait patiently. After a short while, you’ll notice your radiation levels (rads) beginning to rise. This is the key trigger for the event. Instead of leaving, remain inside until the radiation effects fully take hold. When the buildup reaches its peak, you’ll suddenly be teleported out of the motel and into the eerie, endless halls of The Backrooms, officially starting your journey through this unsettling dimension. After entering turn on the projector. The sound it makes will help you locate this room again if you get lost.
Step 1: Assemble the Kart
Once inside, your main task is to collect all the scattered kart parts, including smaller components like muffler tips. Explore every hall and room carefully—some parts are hidden in corners or behind obstacles. After gathering every part, return to the starting area and rebuild the kart. Make sure nothing is missing before moving on. The Kart Should be 24/24 parts and say Original Parts when completed.
TIP- if your cart already have battery and engine just start it so you can just search more part once you found one part pick it up and just press '' M '' you'll teleport to your cart again and the item you hold still with you
Parts List is as follows :
Kart – Complete Parts Breakdown
Wheel x4
Steering Wheel x1
Tail Light x2
Headlight x2
Engine x1
Radiator x1
Battery x1
Pedals x3

Step 2: Defeating the Monster
With the kart ready, Drive around the area and occasionally step out to use the detector to check the monster’s distance—the faster the beeping, the closer the creature is. You can also place glowsticks by pressing Right Click, whether you’re on foot or driving (just be sure to look away from any kart parts so you don’t accidentally remove them). Glowsticks can be dropped to mark important locations or attached to walls to create directional arrows, making it much easier to navigate and retrace your steps. This is the main threat of the level and the key to progression. Accelerate and slam the kart into the creature. The collision will cause the Monster to Explode.
Step 3: Escaping the Backrooms
After the explosion, search for the square holes in the floor. Jump into one to trigger the escape sequence. Once you’ve escaped, the game will automatically award you the relevant Backrooms achievements, marking the completion of this challenge.

Secret Rooms
Scattered throughout the area are various rooms and activities, some functional and some purely decorative:
  • Putt-putt golf – provides a golf club you can store.
  • A red glowing room with multiple small stairs – appears to serve no purpose.
  • Bowling games – a few are scattered around the area.
  • Alcove with a soda machine and small campfire – warning: the campfire is actually a bomb and will explode if you get too close.
  • Courtyard with windows and a phone booth – purely decorative.
  • Rooms with office cubicles – no functional use.
  • Playroom with three colored pipes – inside is a ball pit containing a raygun you can equip, although it doesn’t damage the monster.
Another area includes a flooded shower space leading into a locker room with multiple changing stalls. While the lockers themselves are empty, you can find a bee suit and a neon string suit inside the stalls.
Closing Remarks
Escaping The Backrooms in Drive Beyond Horizons is no small task—it takes patience, exploration, and a bit of strategy to piece together the kart, face the creature, and make your way out through the square holes. With the steps in this guide, you now have a clear path to not only survive the eerie maze but also unlock the achievements that come with conquering it. Remember to stay prepared before entering, search every corner for parts, and keep calm when navigating the endless halls.

The backrooms is so buggy. The Monster ran into my car while i was ramming it. And voila he glitched into my car and disappeard. No achievments nothing.

Seems like the backrooms got a little creepier after the update. A new monster and emergency lights flashing with a horn blaring. Got the Almond Milk and now trying to complete again for the other items. I wouldn't do this on a main save because if the monster catches you, you are dead dead.

beat the backrooms without defeating the monster (would not take damage) and no achievement popped up. also the monster despawned after finding it.

@Lex Luthier The wheels and tires spawn together but are separate parts iirc, and the car bodies are never counted towards part count.

And also, I don't drop any steam items except I do get the notification

I can't load the seed 1496105857, what can I do?

@lex luthier The wheel and tires count as separate parts
Lex Luthier 24 Aug @ 11:19am 
I only see 20 parts listed for the kart, i think the kart counts as one so that's 21. What about the other 3 parts?
Matt 22 Aug @ 1:13pm 
Thanks! Seed 1496105857 (infinite mode) worked perfectly for both achievements.

Nothing better than finding the holes in the ground first, and then the monster just shows up next to the holes for a fairly quick achievement.
