    But how would they all know when to step out and into new room?

    They need some kind of a signal (bell, phone call, flashing light, speaker instructing them to move, …)

    Fastest of these communication is light which has maximum speed of 300,000 km/s

    The light will reach first room instantly but since number of rooms is infinite, the light need infinite time to reach that last room
