The Challenge Rooms are a series of new areas that exist outside of the main games narrative and test the player's abilities at solving puzzles and combat.
Released as a Playstation 3 exclusive package to compensate for its late release, there are a total of three challenge rooms each with their own separate trophies. Each Challenge Room starts off with the cover to a comic book by Sander Cohen that is done in the style of classic EC Comics from the 1950s.
In January 2013, this download content was included in the widely released Ultimate Rapture Edition.
