The Backrooms is a creepypasta, or legend about a labyrinth of random rooms, hallways, levels, and pretty much anything you can imagine. Each room/level contains its own array of beasts, monsters, and/or entities. Each level also has its own characteristics. There’s no one for-sure way for someone to enter the Backrooms. People that have claimed to go there say they found themselves in the Backrooms by means of touching a wall that seems out of place, going into an area that doesn’t feel right, or simply going there by accident in a dream. Although the name may seem non-threatening, don’t be fooled. The Backrooms are known to be extremely dangerous.

As you can probably tell, there is a LOT to the backrooms; from countless levels and sublevels to beasts and beings unimaginable. Although there is no concrete proof that the Backrooms do in fact exist,there are several accounts made by people who have claimed to find themselves there. There’s not one “for sure” way to survive the Backrooms, or even get out. There’s also no guarantee that you’ll ever find yourself there. All we can really say is, stay safe. This concludes our Part 1 explaining some of the levels in the Backrooms. As we said before, there is a LOT to the Backrooms, so it would be nearly impossible to fit it all into one article. So, keep a look out for Part 2!
