ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Backrooms Union Multiplayer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backrooms Union Multiplayer has 3.4K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Backrooms Union Multiplayer's written reviews are positive against 77% of Poolrooms's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Backrooms Union Multiplayer ships an update every 3 weeks, Poolrooms every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
