Playrooms Walkthrough: Fill Every Pit and Find the Exit

Fill all eight numbered ball pits, buying area keys as you earn enough to reach more balls, then take the final exit in the central Playroom. A practical route runs through the Waiting Area, Backroom, Poolroom, School, Office and Hotel; opening the next area does not require removing every loose ball from the previous one.

Keep your opening collection trips close to the office. Learn the route between the loose balls, your chosen pit and the computer before exploring farther away. Finishing the whole starting area can wait while you establish a reliable collection routine.

Pit progress comes from deposited balls, so a full bag or a loaded machine still needs unloading. An area's remaining loose balls are tracked separately from a pit's required total. You can fill pits outside numerical order, but focusing deliveries on a useful reward makes your next goal easier to follow.

Prioritize Sprint early because longer journeys become easier once you can move faster. When collection slows down, consider Ball Magnet, Quick Grab and Vacuum Collect, then increase carrying capacity as your bag starts filling faster. Quick Hands helps when unloading becomes the part of the job that holds you up.

Use the key board in the starting area to purchase access. Count the central Playroom doors from the starting Playroom entrance. You can buy the next key while the previous area still contains loose balls, then return with better equipment later.

In the Waiting Area, work with the suction intake to process groups of balls. Once the Push Broom is available through shop.exe, use it to push nearby piles toward that intake. Pick up isolated balls by hand when sweeping them together would take longer than collecting them.

The Backroom has long aisles and larger groups of balls. Clear recognizable sections, placing available collection equipment near dense piles and moving it as the surrounding floor empties. When collection becomes inefficient, opening the Poolroom gives you another place to work without forcing a complete Backroom cleanup.

Floating balls still need to reach the Poolroom's collection system. Work through manageable sections with sweeping, hand collection or suction equipment, checking pool edges after the larger groups are gone. Use the Scanner for difficult leftovers instead of repeatedly searching the same cleared surfaces.

Walk through School corridors because sprinting there can trigger the principal. The stairs are exempt, but release Sprint before stepping into a corridor again. Check red lockers and classroom corners when gathering balls, and allow enough time to retrace the staircase before darkness.

In the Office, interrupt collection when you hear a telephone ringing and answer it promptly. Work through larger groups of balls before checking individual desks and corners. Keep the warning about elevators in mind while exploring, and use the Scanner when furniture makes the remaining balls hard to spot.

Use the Cleaning Schedule in the Hotel hallway to choose an unfinished numbered room. Match the entry to its door, collect the balls inside and mark the number after finishing the work. Read door numbers again on later visits, and stop opening new rooms when it is time to return to the starting office.

Ball Pit 8 requires 80,000 deposited balls and rewards the Exit Key. All eight pits together require 199,000 deposited balls before the Chapter 1 exit opens. A story clear lets you skip leftover loose balls, Sparrows, the 14 office decorations and optional achievements.
