Cheese Escape/Walkthrough (2024)

This page details a guide to completing the two endings in Cheese Escape.

First ending[]

For the first ending, you must collect all 9 cheeses. The metal door in the maze will then open allowing you to escape and receive the first ending. (You will also have to collect the green, red, and blue keys for this escape).

Location of cheese 1: Go to the 2nd entrance into the maze (walk right after opening the door). Exit the safe zone from the 2nd door, then go right and take an imediate left. Walk to the end of the hall and go right, the cheese will be on a table in the hall.

Location of cheese 2: Enter the maze from the 1st safe room door, walk right and take the first left. Keep going straight down that hallway until you can take a left, then take the next left (it's like a u-turn around the wall). Continue down the hall and you will find the next cheese. (If you are starting from cheese 1, take the 2nd left, then a right, walk until you reach another right, go down that hall then take 2 lefts).

Loaction of cheese 3: Grab the green key for later and walk up the ladder/truss (will later be referred to as stairs). Take a right into the crack in the wall and the cheese is there.

Location of cheese 4: Exit the room via the crack in the wall and walk the rest of the way down the stone hallway. Drop down the hole and take a right then another right to walk through the crack in the wall.

Location of cheese 5: Exit the small room and go left, go right and walk until you see the green door. Use the green key and enter the white glowing door. It will teleport you into a room with a metal door and a code, enter the code 3842. You will then gain access to a dark hallway with flickering lights, there are no jumpscares, walk straight until you reach the 5th cheese table with the color changing lamp, boombox, bloxy cola, and red key. DO NOT GRAB THE CHEESE YET (Once you grab it, you get teleported out). First, collect the bloxy cola for a badge, then get the key. The last thing you should grab is the 5th cheese.

Location of cheese 6: Drop down the hole infront of you (you should see two wood blocks on either side of the hole and a blue key on the other side, we will worry about that later). Go left then left again, taking the next right, you are going to walk down the hall and take a left and a right, continue down that path until you reach the 6th cheese.

Location of cheese 7: Go back to the unknown room (the room where you recieved the red key) and walk into the glowing white door. Complete the parkour and collect the 7th cheese.

Location of cheese 8: Drop down the hole and go left, then right. Go right again, then left, continue on and take the 2nd left. Walk down that hallway and you will come across the red door. Enter using the red key and collect the board. You now need to go back into the unknow room (behind green door) and exit it, bringing you back to the blue key room. Place the board down and get the blue key. To use the blue key, you have to go up the stairs by the green key and enter the room the once held cheese 3. The blue door is in the back left corner of that stone room. The cheese will be on the table next to the big green button on the wall.

Loaction of cheese 9: For this one, you will have to move fast. Click the green button to start the countdown and open the door, then drop down the hole. Go right, then right, left, and right again. To your left should be a crack in the wall. Go through that crack and continue down the hall to the now open passage to the last cheese. Collect the cheese and wait for the door to close. Once the door closes, a glowing white 'door' will appear in the floor. Enter it and it will take you back to the beginning of the maze.

TO OFFICIALLY ESCAPE AND EXIT THE MAZE- Enter the maze from safe room exit door 1 and go right, take another right followed by a 3rd right. Continue down that hall and take the 2nd left (both will take you to the same place but one is faster). Keep going straight and you will see your exit.

Secret ending[]

For this ending, you must have beaten the first ending, gotten all keys - except the red and blue keys - and beaten the boss.

Step-1: The White Key | To get the white key, get all 9 cheeses (locations described in the previous walkthrough) and leave via the exit. This will open a door in the spawnroom, holding a white doorway to Chapter-2, two doors blocked of with Diamond Plate, and the white key on a table. This is the 2nd easiest to get.

Step-2: The Green Key | To get the Green Key, leave spawn through the gap directly in front of the large door, and go (immediately after passing the safe zone barrier): Right, Left, Left, Left, Right, Right. It will be on the floor next to some truss blocks and a table holding some cheese.

Step-3: The Green Door | To pass through the green door, climb the truss blocks, go forward until you find a pit with some wire trailing down it, then after falling down it go right and you'll find the green door on your left. Hold your Green Key and open it.

Step-4: The Unknown Room / Yellow Key | Upon entering the white light within the Green Door, you'll be locked in first person and slowed. There will be a keypad, and while its code will be displayed as 4 digits jumbled on the wall, it is: 3842. This will open a Diamond Plate door into a hallway, then a large room with lamps. Upon entering this room, hug the left wall until you see a truss. Climb it, and you'll see a white door. Open it with your White Key, and go down to get the Yellow Key on the table. Backtrack down the truss, and go forward around the wall, and you'll see a table. Grab the Red Key (optional) and cheese.

Step4.1: Blue Key / Red Door (Optional) | Leave the safe zone via the gap near the Yellow Door, and hug the right wall. You will see the red door and inside it is the plank, grab it. Upon grabbing this plank, continue hugging the right to the Green Door and redo the Unknown Room (not the Yellow Key). Place the plank down across the gap and grab the Blue Key.

Step-5: The Vents / Grey Maze | Upon grabbing the cheese, fall down the gap you've been teleported to, turn around, turn right then left, and enter the safe zone. Go to the opposite side of it and open the Yellow Door. This leads you to a white light and into the vents. The goal of the vents is to avoid the Grey Maze Rat, which is identical to the Rat but with Neon Red eyes and teleports players into the safe zone, while pushing 6 green buttons to turn them red. Due to the nature of the Grey Maze, it is difficult to find many of them, or describe their locations, as it is easy to become misdirected even when following a guide. There are, however, 1 button close to spawn, on the left; 1 button close to spawn, on the right; 2 buttons close to the Grey Key, on the right; 1 button close to the Grey Key, on the left; and 1 button slightly closer to the Grey Key than spawn, on the left. On the right, there is a large gap between the button close to spawn whereas the other 2 are a wall or two away, whereas on the left they're roughly the same distance apart. Upon pushing all 6 buttons, grab the Grey Key in the far middle, and either return to spawn via the white light or let the Grey Maze Rat "kill" you.

Step-6: Grey Room / Map | Redo the passage to the Green Key, climb the trusses, and open the Grey Door to the left. You will see a map of the area, detaling the Exit, Start, Electrical Door, Stairs (the trusses), and "???". Climb to map to guarantee that the game spawns "???" for you. You will also see a Purple Door in that room.

Step-7: The Purple Key | Go to the trusses near the Green Key, and go: Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, and touch the "?" on the wall, painted in Red. This will teleport you to a room with a stationary rat and the Purple Key on a table, grab the Purple Key and head to the exit, on your left. This teleports you back to the spawnroom,

Step-8: The Purple Door / ":)" | Return to the Grey Door, and open the door on its left side. Enter this room, push the button, and return to spawn to grab the Red Cheese shown in a cutscene, you no longer need any items upon completion of this step.

Step-9: The Red Cheese | The Red Cheese is an item you feed to the Rat in order to be teleported to Space, an obby with lowered gravity and can be acquired through entering the door between the White Key and Chapter-2. To feed the rat it, let the Rat catch you while you are holding it.

Step-10: Space | Space is an obby with lowered gravity, it is relatively easy to beat and the main thing of notice is the large, neon white passage to a room with a 2-way window into spawn. This room is also shown via the obby in the Unknown Room's sealed door. To beat the obby, simply jump from near the edge of one platform to the next.

Step-11:??? | "???" is a hallway/experience located next to spawn with two entrances: The passage you enter after Space, or through a door next to the White Key. This has a red carpet, and four "ready up" circles to the boss arena. To complete this area, simply walk forward into a circle.

Step-12: The Boss | The boss is the rat with HP scaling with the amount of players. To beat it, walk into shiny, large cheese wedges until it loses all of its HP. It has several attacks, those being: Spin, Cheese Rain, Wedge Spin, and Pound. Spin is the most deadly as it can only be evaded if the rat uses another attack while you're being chased, Spin can also be referred to as "Contact Damage", as the rat chases you throughout. Wedge Spin is the 3rd most deadly, sending cheese wedges flying around the rat, dealing damage and knocking over players. Cheese Rain is the least deadly, being a series of slow wedges falling to the ground where you're standing. Pound is the 2nd most deadly, the rat jumping a dealing circle in a wave unless the players jump over it. To win, ensure that there is enough distance between you and the rat, try stay near max HP with hearts dropped by the rat, and run into the wedges. While evading, spam jump to go slightly faster.

Step-12: Pedestal | Upon the rat's death, a pedestal sprouts from the ground, with a glowing orb upon it. Enter the glowing orb for a message and you complete the Secret Ending! This can be considered the good ending as defeat the rat, although the rat is still alive in Chapter 2.
