"Enjoy your stay! "
- Welcome Achievement description.
Lobby is a canon[1] location where players spawn when they join DOORS. It is also a community hub for DOORS players to communicate and strategize for an upcoming run.
Overview
Lobby contains twelve elevators, with six on each side of the room, which offer 1-4 player-sized lobbies that players can enter to start a run. Players can also view achievements they've received from completing them mid-run, which can be showcased next to their death count, or in its seperate tab, located to the right of the Lobby Shop. In the chat box, the game will also send messages that offer insights to players, as well as dev messages. In-game settings can also be tweaked here.
Opening up the Shop grants players the ability to purchase Knobs and Revives, along with Boosts that last for three runs. Purchases are added up to the leaderboard, and the top 20 donators will be listed on a board near the left side of the Lobby.
To the right of the Shop button there are options to view achievements, tweak Game Settings, and the game Credits.
Players can make their own custom elevators for The Hotel, The Mines, The Backdoor, The Rooms, The Outdoors, Battle Mode and Trick Or Treat in Lobby. They can choose up to 50 players in their game, as well as a friends only option. This also applies for Modifiers, in which you will need to require the 'Rock Bottom' achievement to allow use to the elevator. In Private Servers, you can have up to 12 people in a single elevator. Note: To make a custom elevator for The Backdoor, you will need to require the 'Detour' achievement.
There are several extra areas around the Lobby, with most of them just being minor places to explore. The most obvious one is the outdoors, showing the exterior of The Hotel, a sign that simply displays "HOTEL", a stone staircase, the water surrounding the area, and the entrance to The Backdoor that can only be entered if players have the 'Detour' achievement. Another alcove appears to the right of the entrance, with three boarded up doors and two closets. On the opposite side is a small hallway with a door at the end, and the leaderboard in the middle of the right wall. At the opposite end is a small downstairs area, with Backdoor-styled items such as a broken and boarded up door, three closets, two tables, plenty of boxes and a locked gate. Meanwhile, at the other side of the downstairs alcove is a blocked off passageway, with Seek's eyes seen inside.
Depending on the update, more merchandise gets placed in the game.

Doors
Lobby has only two doors, those being the Backdoor Elevator and the Lobby Doors that lead players in and out of the Lobby. These doors do not make any sound when opening them. Lobby Doors are very similar to the Office Doors found in The Hotel, with both designs looking very similar, both having a “WELCOME” mat next to them, and they also open just from the players pushing them. The Lobby also has the Backdoor Entrance Doors, which function like the elevator to the Backdoor.
Lobby Doors have the design very similar to the Office Doors found in The Hotel, with them being split into two separate doors to make one full door. Unlike Office Doors, they have handles and have different windows. They do not make any noise when opening them.
Backdoor Entrance Doors are found outside of the Lobby and function like the elevator to the Backdoor subfloor. In order to access it, players must have the “Detour” badge to enter the elevator. The Backdoor Entrance Door has a design of a dark brown door with a panic-bar to open the door, as well as a yellow exit sign above the door; this implies that the door was used for emergency exits, as the door has a panic bar to quickly push the door and enter The Backdoor, to further prove this, it also has an exit sign, meaning that this was an exit or an emergency one.
Bugs
- Sometimes entering the elevator will still show player's model outside of the elevator.
- A much rarer occurrence will cause players model to remain in the elevator even after exiting.
- When a player teleports into a Custom Elevator, they'll hear the outside lobby music for a brief moment sometimes.
- It is possible to go through many walls with certain Roblox emotes. The most consistent and easy one is to do this is Hero Landing.
- If a player touches the entrance door while it's closing, there is a chance of being flinged.
- Currently, there is a bug where players can sometimes see other players' Custom Elevators floating above the Lobby[2].
- Currently, and since The Takeover Update, the ceiling of the Lobby is not collidable.
- Before its removal, players could go through the hole in the ceiling (formed by World Lotus) and go to normally inaccessible places.
- Players sometimes spawn on top of the map, above the building.
- This might also cause fast constant respawning, probably made to avoid this issue trying to spawn the player in the building correctly.
- When teleporting into Custom Elevators, there is a chance the player is teleported outside of it.

- Sometimes, when a player spawns into Lobby with a UGC item that doesn't fit the avatar requirements, they will be presented with a message saying: 'Accessory removed: -Item Name-: WAY too big, a trend in some obtrusive UGC hats. If this is incorrect, please report this as a bug.'
- Before The Hotel+ Update, the text on the donation leaderboard used to be textboxes, allowing players to change the text to whatever they desired.
- This was only visible in the player's screen.
- The Roblox chat filter did not apply to the leaderboard.
- The donation leaderboard refreshes every 30 seconds.

- The hallway that was barricaded and had Seek's eyes has been moved to the back of the main lobby room since The Hunt Update.
- The Hunt Update banner in The Backdoor elevators hallway overlapped everything, such as: player's model and nickname, elevators, etc.
- This was to keep it visible in case of players gathering around the banner.
- Lobby soundtrack alters when the camera enters/exits The Hotel building, not when player does.
- After Post-Hunt Update, when a player reaches a certain height of the map, they will teleport to the spawn point. This happens if a player falls off the map somehow.
- Before Post-Hunt Update, if a player fell off the map, they would fall for a long time. Eventually the player would die, but never respawned again.
- It is possible to interact with certain objects in Lobby. However, these interaction prompts aren't visible. When the player is close enough and is looking at the object, an extremely low sound can be heard, meaning the player is in the range of the interaction.
- It is possible to interact with the painting to the left to the spawn point. If the player presses "E" near the painting while looking at it, a text with the name of the painting will appear, exactly like it does in-game.
- As of The Great Outdoors Update, only the interaction sound is heard, and the text with the painting name doesn't appear.
- Players can also "interact" with the drawers in the Backdoor zone, near the end of the interior of the Lobby. The drawers won't open, however, when pressing "E", the interaction sound can be heard, and an error on the console (F9) will appear.
- With the addition of Bob in the Trick or Treat event, it was also possible to interact with him, holding "E" for a long time while looking at him being close. The interaction worked exactly as in Jeff Shop, the text "...Nothing happens." would appear.

- Custom elevators are created in the sky, over Lobby, sometimes it is possible to see them from the outside.
- After November 15th, 2024 patch; players' names have a black outline in Lobby while on PC. On November 21, this feature made it come to mobile and tablet devices.
- If a player's display name is "LSPLASH", "Lightning_Splash", "Lightning_Splashs", "lightning_spiash", "Ligthing_splash", "Ligthing_spiash", "Lightning_Splash" or "Redibles", their avatar will become completely red and will have no clothes and no accessories, and the name shown on the player's head will be replaced by "[ NOT REAL ]".
- This has been made so no one can trick anyone into thinking they are Lightning_Splash or Redibles.
- In the current Voice Chat Lobby, the Trial And Error badge shows as its old color, the one before its rework that made it a lot easier to get.
- Voice Chat Lobbies Were Removed Due to Glitches and Due to it Being Useless.

- Due to the Lotus Flower in the lobby, players can access an area above the roof, however enclosed by a solid black void.
