Shrine Rooms are special rooms that contain shrines which grant or modify floor mechanics and a positive effect which enhances the run. They are one of the first rooms Isaac encounters in Revelations floors.
If the shrine room is exited without first activating a shrine, both of the effects will activate and a "You've made a mistake" message will be displayed. If unlocked and possible, a Champion boss will be forced.
