"Limbo"
- The translated text displayed in front of The Courtyard's statue
The Courtyard is an outdoor area that can spawn in The Hotel. The area consists of a stone walkway under a covered area with lanterns, two garden areas with bushes, shrubs, and small trees, and a large ophanim-like angel stone statue. The statue has a small pedestal underneath with text in Wingdings (●︎♓︎❍︎♌︎□︎), which, upon translation, the decoded text comes out as "limbo." There are also 6 toolsheds located around the gardening areas, and a small toolshed that contains Shears.
The Courtyard spawns after the second Seek chase and is considered the last safe zone in The Hotel. However, Entities like Eyes are capable of spawning in the room.
Notes
- The Courtyard will always spawn before The Greenhouse.
- When The Hotel+ Update first released, it was possible for the Courtyard to spawn intermediately in The Greenhouse. This is no longer possible.
- Prior to the Hotel+ update, there was a chance that Seek's eyes could appear on the Courtyard's walls. After the Hotel+ update, The Courtyard can only spawn after the second Seek Chase, meaning Seek's eyes can no longer appear in it.
- In The Mines Update, you can now find the Shears which can be used to do many things such as open a secret room in The Courtyard, open chests covered in vines in The Mines, and open up shortcuts in The Nest. All of them can have goods such as coins and items, but in The Content Update, you can now open side-doors/rooms that are covered in vines in The Mines.
- The Courtyard can be utilized for as a resting zone, because it is almost completely peaceful. Other rest zones in the Hotel are The Reception, the Jeff Shop, and The Infirmary.
- This is especially useful, as the following rooms The Greenhouse and The Electrical Room are considered to be the most challenging in The Hotel.
- However Shadow, Eyes and Jack can spawn here.
- Although Eyes can spawn in the Courtyard, they won't deal damage to players through The Courtyard's door.
- If Rush or Ambush is triggered by a player entering the next room, when either entity passes through the Courtyard, they will not shatter any of its lights, but they will appear to be illuminated without casting any light.
- Before The Backdoor Update, The Courtyard Could Spawn at Door 89-92.
Bugs
- During the release of The Hotel+ Update, a bug would sometimes occur where the Courtyard would not spawn. Since it leads to the Greenhouse, this would lead to a softlock where players couldn't progress. This bug has since been patched.
Trivia
- Currently, the Courtyard is one of the three rooms (the others being the Lobby and The Woods) that allows the player step foot in an outside setting.
- The Courtyard was revamped twice, first when The Hotel+ Update released, and again when The Mines Update released.
- The Courtyard is the third largest "room" in The Hotel, the 2nd being The Library and the 1st being The Electrical Room.
- The room that spawns before The Courtyard is always a hallway room that turns left then turning right.
- This is most likely to avoid The Courtyard from clipping into previous rooms due to how large it is.
- A secret was added to The Courtyard in The Mines Update: a picture of a dog repeated all over the roof of the walkway. It's only visible with exploits with a Terminal Velocity candy. This is also visible with the new “Admin Panel” gamepass, using the FLY/NOCLIP option.
- The Courtyard in Retro Mode resembles the 2007 Roblox game Happy Home in Robloxia.
- Before The Hunt Update, there was sometimes a long hallway that led to the Courtyard. It is unknown why this was removed.
- There is an entrance to a Basement that is blocked off by vines which can be cut by Shears and it is guarded by Snare.
- After The Hotel+ Update, the Courtyard's sky became significantly darker.
- The storm in the Courtyard was noticeably calmer than in The Hotel before the Mines update.
- Upon being asked what the statue in The Courtyard means, RediblesQW replied with a shushing emoji, possibly implying a secret.[1]
- It is speculated by some that the statue is of Guiding Light, however this has not been confirmed.
- In the Floor 2 update, the statue in the Courtyard was noticeably changed, and a new pedestal was added with the word "limbo" in Wingdings font and eyes with an illusion similar to Seek's eyes, which is assumed to imply a connection between the two.
- If you press tightly against the statue you can see a passage.
- According to El Goblino's dialogue, the sky of the Courtyard has no stars. It also applies to the Woods and the Outdoors.
