Build Your Backrooms: Next Update Countdown and What’s Next

Updated September 2, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 5,800 playing now

Build Your Backrooms is a build-and-survive maze game on Roblox from the studio Wind Sun Moon [WSM]. You lay out your own backrooms labyrinth, stock it with monsters, and lure other players in to see whether they can escape — and because the monsters keep hunting even while you are offline, your maze stays dangerous around the clock. It has become one of the platform’s busier experiences, with roughly about 5,800 players wandering mazes right now and more than about 45,000,000 visits logged since launch.

The game has also picked up over about 270,000 favorites. The current and upcoming lineup is laid out below. As of September 2, the calendar points to a single item: the developer’s next major update, which opens on September 4, 2026. We refresh this page whenever the studio adds or changes an event.
