Shrek in The Backrooms — The Office Level Guide

The Office is level 7 — Hard difficulty with Cursed Shrek dealing 25+ damage. The primary objective is hacking all computers to reveal an 8-digit elevator code. Cursed Shrek patrols while you work, making this one of the most tense mid-game levels.

Office vending machines drop Battery, Electric Wire, and Circuit Board — the best mid-game source for Ray Gun and Nuke materials. Plan a farming run with Force Field Potions before standard progression.

Locate every computer terminal in the office floor plan. Press E to interact and complete each hack mini-sequence. Hacked computers contribute digits to the final 8-digit elevator code.

Work systematically room by room rather than random exploration. Memorize Cursed Shrek patrol patterns — hack during safe windows when Shrek is on the opposite side of the floor.

Loot vending machines in the same rooms as computers. Battery and Circuit Board from vending machines accelerate Ray Gun crafting significantly.

Cursed Shrek is faster and deadlier than standard Shrek. Craft weapons from vending materials before engaging. Ray Gun one-shots if you must fight — sprinting past is often smarter.

Enter the 8-digit code at the elevator panel after all computers are hacked. The elevator takes you to level 8 (The Elevator) with Smilers in the shaft.

Replay The Office specifically for material farming even after completing the level. Force Field plus vending loot runs are the fastest Circuit Board path in the game.

• Objective: Hack all computers for 8-digit code
• Entity: Cursed Shrek (25+ damage)
• Farm: Vending machines for Battery, Wire, Circuit Board
• Exit: Enter code at elevator panel

After elevator code entry, The Elevator level immediately tests Smiler knowledge in confined spaces. Restock Med Kits at hub before entering if Office consumed your consumable stack during Cursed Shrek encounters.

Experienced players complete Office by splitting the map into quadrants — hack all computers in one quadrant before moving to the next, always moving away from Cursed Shrek patrol direction. This reduces backtracking through cleared zones.

Vending machine loot priority: Circuit Board first, then Battery, then Electric Wire. Circuit Board is the rarest Office drop and the Ray Gun bottleneck material.

Record the eight-digit code digits on paper or phone as you hack rather than memorizing at the end. Missing one digit sends you searching for the unhacked computer — a costly mistake with Cursed Shrek active.

The Office spans multiple cubicle floors connected by elevators and stairwells. Cursed Shrek patrols aggressively — stronger than standard Shrek with 25+ damage per hit. Craft weapons from vending machine materials before engaging any combat. Ray Gun is the minimum recommended craft for Office survival.

Computer hacking stations appear on each major floor. Interact with every computer using E to extract digits of the eight-digit elevator code. Write digits down immediately — the code does not persist in a visible HUD element on all platforms. Missing one computer forces a full floor recheck.

Office vending machines drop Battery, Electric Wire, and Circuit Board — the rarest standard crafting materials. Farm vending machines even after assembling your Ray Gun since Nuke requires multiples of each component. A thorough Office clear can supply half your Nuke material requirements.

Elevator code entry happens at the central elevator after all eight digits are collected. Cursed Shrek may patrol near the elevator — use Grenades or Ray Gun to clear the path rather than sprinting past with low health. Successful code entry advances you to The Elevator level.
