I Have Created My First Room - What's Next?

After creating your first room, the next step is managing it. Click on Manage Rooms, then select your room to access the management page:

You will see then all the settings for your room:

General

In this section, you can configure various settings for your room, including difficulty level, challenge type, and scoring method. Enabling Publicly Accessible will submit your room to the review queue, making it available to all TryHackMe users.

Important: Only select this option (Publicly Accessible) if you intend to share your room publicly.

You can find more information about the room reviewing process here:

Stats

This section provides detailed information about the users in your room. You can export this data as a CSV file by selecting the Download task progress option.

Category

Here, you can assign category tags to your room. Adding relevant tags will make it easier for users to find your room through keyword searches.

Tasks

You can create tasks by clicking the Add task button.

You can attach interactive materials to tasks to help answer the questions. These materials can include files you have uploaded to TryHackMe (using this guide), or you can use the resources provided by us.

To add questions, click Add question, and to provide answers or hints click on the options below the question.

After adding a question, be sure to click Save changes to preserve any changes you make to a task, as unsaved changes will be lost.

Design

Here, you can choose the room banner, upload a custom avatar, or generate a random one.

Users

In this section, you can manage the users in your room, including resetting their progress or banning them.

Important: Please note, do not ban yourself, as this action cannot be undone.

Clone

If you want to clone your room to use it as a base for another room, click Clone.

Access

If you want to grant another user access to manage your room, simply share the link with them:

Delete

Before deleting a room, ensure that you remove any task materials (VMs or files) if you wish to delete them from your materials page. Please only delete a room if you are absolutely certain, as we will not be able to recover any deleted rooms.
