Interactions

As a Red Room

  • Drafting the Furnace makes the Gymnasium more common today.
  • Drafting the Gymnasium can trigger a particular experimental trigger which is activated by drafting Red Rooms. It also causes the player to lose 5.
  • There is also a particular experimental effect which provides 3 gold for each Red Room on the estate each time it is triggered, including the Gymnasium.
  • The Gymnasium is drawn significantly more often during a Red Rooms-restricted draft, initiated by using the red book in the Secret Passage or by using the Prism Key on a locked Red Room door.
    • The Gymnasium can appear consistently as a default option even after it has been drafted once the draft pool is depleted, typically appearing in Slot 1 once the pool is completely devoid of valid Red Rooms. This can cause it to break its usual drafting requirements and be drawn with a doorway leading outside of the house.
  • Upgrade Disk [Upgrade Spoiler: Parlor] Drafting the Gymnasium will cause an additional 1 to appear in the Funeral Parlor prize box when it is opened.
  • Upgrade Disk [Upgrade Spoiler: Closet] Drafting the Empty Closet from the Gymnasium will cause it to contain four items instead of none.
  • West Path [Outer Room: Shrine] After drafting the Gymnasium with Blessing of the General active, if there are Red Rooms in at least five different ranks, the player immediately gains 5.
  • West Path [Outer Room: Shrine] Drafting the Gymnasium while cursed will cause the player to lose 1, 1, 1 and 1.
  • West Path [Outer Room: Shelter] Drafting the Gymnasium under the effect of the Shelter will disable its negative effect, meaning are not lost on entry.
    • [Secret Shop Item: Knight's Shield] Using the Knight's Shield has the same effect.
  • [Secret Item: Crown of the Blueprints] When the Gymnasium is drawn while drafting, the Crown of the Blueprints can remove it from the draft pool, redraw floorplans, and give 1.
  • [Secret Item: Paper Crown] Drawing the Gymnasium while drafting prevents using the Paper Crown's redraw ability.
  • [Game Mode: Dare Mode] The dare in Dare Mode to always draft a red room when drawn applies to the Gymnasium.

Other interactions

  • The Gymnasium cannot be drafted from the Library.
  • [Chamber of Mirrors Spoiler] The Chamber of Mirrors may contain a physical copy of the Gymnasium's floorplan in one of its cabinets which can be permanently added to the draft pool.
  • West Path [Outer Room: Shrine] Having the Gymnasium on the estate causes the Sloppy Jim, a dish added to the Dining Room by spreading gems with Blessing of the Chef active, to provide an additional 1.
