Each floor of the game is made up of a number of rooms. The number of rooms on each floor generally increases as the game progresses.

Normal rooms

Normal rooms make up the majority of the rooms on a floor. These rooms typically contain enemies and may drop a pickup or chest after all enemies are killed. Many rooms also contain various pickups, chests, items, and obstacles.

Isaac cannot leave a room with enemies until they are all killed or until he uses a bomb to open a door. If Isaac is currently holding an active item, completing a room with enemies will add one charge.

Rooms can come in various sizes; while normal-sized rooms are the most common, double and quadruple-sized rooms can also appear.

(except in Rebirth) L-shaped triple-sized rooms, narrow hallways, and tiny rooms can also appear. Additionally, completing a quadruple-sized room or an L-shaped room will add two charges to Isaac's active item.
