A–Z route structure

The room code resets at each letter: A-01 through A-50, then B-01 through B-50, continuing to Z-50. That makes a full route 26 × 50 = 1,300 rooms before any elevator skips.

The repeatable run loop

1. Read the next room before looting: exit, cover, floor hazard, special-room language.
2. Respond to the active cue—audio, crowd path, screen effect, ticket, memory station, or camera control.
3. Use bandages, pizza, or the water cooler only after the route is controlled.
4. At the sector elevator, check health, Gold, and group state before buying a skip.

Gold and elevators

Current walkthroughs report that a sector-end elevator can remove a full 50-room section. The first skip costs 100 Gold and later prices increase. Ransom also pressures the same currency, so the best run keeps a reserve instead of treating every elevator offer as automatic.

Recovery and regrouping

Water coolers, bandages, and pizza create recovery opportunities during the long route. Current guidance identifies red on the left and blue on the right for cooler controls. Sector breaks are also the right time to align Journal or badge goals.
