Description: A spoiler walkthrough covering all nine endings, three Ending 5 variants, Sophie’s bat, curator esteem and the hidden romance requirement.
A zombie outbreak sends you and Sophie into a museum. The curator insists on giving you a tour—and a quiz. In The MuZeum, that bizarre detour determines whether you survive, die, or end up in a romance with the curator.
Ending 8 is the major obstacle: answer at least six of eight questions correctly, gain two curator esteem points, and select the unusual final response twice. For Ending 7, make him spend his ammunition instead. The nine-route table below follows the developer’s published walkthrough and contains full spoilers.
| Ending | Conditions and action order | Outcome and caveat | Evidence and version | Spoilers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Still toilet waters run deep | Decline the museum tour — Hmm, that's very nice of you… but |

Four choices that change later outcomes
Didn't you say that this route was clear? and Yeah, it seemed too dangerous to go in at the time. each add one conflict point with Sophie. Her willingness to support you later depends on this score. Giving away the bat changes who can survive the bathroom fight.
To conserve the curator’s bullets, choose Fight or Flee followed by Grab curator's hand. To exhaust them, choose Flee then Bolt for the next room or Guarantee your survival. This is the crucial difference between Endings 6 and 7.
The three versions of Ending 5
For the selfish version, visit the bathroom first, keep the bat, escape alone and choose Slide the door's crossbar away. For the alone-against-everyone version, return for Sophie with at least two conflict points and choose I'm already diving away. For the heartfelt version, return and choose I lunge at him., or raise the bat when conflict is below two. You can also reach Ending 5 on the tour path by giving Sophie the bat, disagreeing about humanity and fleeing.
Why Ending 8 will not unlock
Curator esteem increases by one when you ask What is that creature?, express enthusiasm for trivia, grab his hand during the zombie encounter, or ask about the muscle in Room 3. Who are you? in the entrance hall costs one point; thanking him is neutral.
The official requirement is six correct quiz answers out of eight, but the walkthrough does not provide a complete answer key. Agree with the curator’s worldview, reach Will you stay here with me?, unlock Convince me., then choose Brain #Error404 twice. If persuasion never appears, check the quiz and esteem rather than replaying only the final conversation.
Current build and verification limits
The official walkthrough was posted on October 8, 2025. The game page lists v1.4.0 downloads after a July 2026 update and was updated on October 9, 2026. These routes have not been independently replayed against that build. An HTML5 launch is offered on the official itch.io page; the eight quiz answers, all internal screens and the precise Ending 8 versus Ending 9 precedence remain unverified.
Conclusion
For Ending 8: six correct quiz answers, two esteem points and Brain #Error404 twice. For Ending 7: hand Sophie the bat and let the curator burn through his ammunition. Even a museum tour becomes a survival statistic.
