TheBackroomsGuide

this blog is made of simplified and compiled information about the backrooms! all posts have been written by me!

The backrooms:

The backrooms is where you end up if you ‘no-clip out of reality’ (reality being referred to as the frontrooms) when you first arrive in the backrooms you will end up in level zero. Level zero (named the lobby)  is an office with mono yellow walls, damp carpets, and the ever maddening hum of the fluorescent lights above, although level zero is not the only level of the backrooms, there are nine (cannon) levels of the backrooms, (levels zero to eight)

Survival difficulty guide

(The wiki already has all the information on this but the point of this blog is to have as much info on the backrooms as possible so here you go!)

The survival difficulty guide or the SDG is the official ranking system of the backrooms. This list goes from least difficult to most difficult levels to survive in

Survival difficulty: class zero

Class zero is meant for levels that have no threats whatsoever, levels with this ranking are very easy to traverse with no actual danger present

Survival difficulty: class one

Class one levels are mostly safe, there are very few threats at this class. Reasons for levels to be put into class one would be due either to a low count of entities or the landscape of the level, levels with this class are mostly easy to traverse

Survival difficulty: class two

Levels ranked as class two are where the levels start to get difficult their could be environmental hazards or entities, you need to be prepared with supplies, wanderers should have a pretty hard time exploring this level

Survival difficulty: class three

Levels ranked at class three start being genuinely dangerous to travel through, ‘unsecure’ is a word used to describe these levels with this ranking these levels being called unsecure refers to the fact they aren't particularly well mapped out, they also have many entities and hazards in them 

Security difficulty: class four

Class four levels are seriously dangerous levels to be in, it's highly recommended to avoid any levels classed as four or higher should not be explored, if it’s necessary to explore these levels carrying weaponry and the right supplies are required to survive

Security difficulty: class five

Class five levels should be avoided at all costs, these levels house extreme threats to any who decide to explore them, it’s expected wanderers would survive here without the proper equipment class five is the last of the standard SD.

Security class: class undetermined

This class is given to levels that have very little known about them, it is recommended to take caution in these levels as there may be unknown threats or hazards, most recommend to avoid them altogether. You never know what you could possibly run into

Security class: variable

Levels with this class have varying levels of danger inside, therefore they can’t be classed in any particular category so it’s classed as ‘variable’ except anything could happen in these levels.

Security class: habitable

Habitable levels are considerably safe and stable. These levels lack environmental hazards and entity’s there is usually a steady source of resources on these levels, making them a perfect place to stay long-term.

Security class: dead zone

Levels classed with ‘dead zone’ are extremely dangerous and should never be attempted to explore. Death is almost imminent, unless you get lucky, there are many entity’s and hazards on dead zone levels AVOID AT ALL COSTS

No-clipping:

From what I understand of no-clipping, works differently depending on if you're going from the frontrooms to the backrooms, going from the front-rooms to the backrooms is pretty straightforward. If you end up in a place where there's a ‘glitch in the matrix’ so to speak (these places can change and usually aren’t in the same places) you may accidentally end up in the backrooms, but in the backrooms these places seem to stay in the same vicinity 

[thebackroomsguide]

The Frontrooms:

The frontrooms (aka the universe) is referred to as the baseline of reality, the frontrooms (like the backrooms) is infinite, however unlike the backrooms the frontrooms are more stable, consistent, and larger than the backrooms. The frontrooms can only lead to the backrooms, you can't just no-clip from one side of the frontrooms to another.

The origin of the backrooms

The first (locatable) mention of the backrooms was in a 4-chan thread made in 2019, this thread was about ‘images that just feel off’ (supposedly referring to liminal spaces) in the thread was a description of what is now level zero but is referred to as just the backrooms in the original post (I'm going to share the full original description now)

‘If your not careful and you no-clip out of reality in the wrong areas, you’ll end up in the backrooms, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in,

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby. Because it sure as hell heard you’

(this image is thought to be with the original post but it is unconfirmed)

This is the full description attached to the 4-chan post, which includes the infamous image associated with the backrooms, this single description has sprouted games, stories, movies and a whole fandom who love what’s come from this one thing

(side note: there's a mention that the original idea for the backrooms was first created all the way back in 2009, sadly i can find no proof of the backrooms existing back then)

welcome to the backrooms guide!

this blog will house a easier to understand version of the information you can find on the internet. i will be compiling as much information as i can about the backrooms and posting it here!

i will be putting up a list of everything posted here once i start posting here
