What is Backrooms?

Backrooms is a collaborative internet horror setting built on one idea: reality has a flaw, and slipping through it drops you into a dimension of endless, badly lit liminal spaces. It began as an anonymous 2019 post on 4chan's paranormal board, paired with a photo of an empty yellow room, and grew into wikis, video games, YouTube series, and a Hollywood film.

Today Backrooms spans dozens of interpretations. Escape the Backrooms sends up to four players through more than thirty levels, The Backrooms delivers a solo survival run, and the A24 feature film directed by Kane Parsons brought the mythos to cinemas in 2026. Our wiki gathers level walkthroughs, entity profiles, survival tactics, and lore in one place.

Backrooms Game Guide

A beginner-friendly overview of how to start playing Backrooms games, what the objective is, and the survival rules that apply before you explore deeper.

1Understand the premise: you no-clip out of reality into an endless maze of yellow rooms, damp carpet, and buzzing fluorescent lights.
2Pick a version to play, from co-op titles like Escape the Backrooms to solo horror, free browser games, and Roblox experiences.
3Learn the core loop: there is no map and no objective marker, so navigation and sound awareness are the real mechanics.
4Treat entities as hazards rather than enemies, because you cannot fight them, only avoid, hide, and break line of sight.
5Find the exit: every level has entrances and exits, and documenting them is how the community maps the Backrooms.

Backrooms Levels Guide

How the numbered Backrooms levels connect, which environments are safe, and how to read a level entry before you step through an exit.

Level 0The Lobby: mono-yellow rooms, damp carpet, buzzing lights, and the classic starting point for most wanderers.
Level 1The Habitable Zone: concrete halls, wooden crates, Almond Water, and the first real outposts.
Level 2Pipe Dreams: narrow industrial corridors, extreme heat, and poor visibility that punishes loud movement.
PoolroomsLevel 37: interconnected tiled rooms and warm shallow water with almost no documented entities.
NegativeLevels below zero where dream logic replaces geometry and navigation stops being reliable.
Level 94Motion: a grainy suburban town with a floating castle that looks calm but hides unstable physics.

S Tier

Skin-Stealer (Entity 10) and Partygoer (Entity 67): mimics and lures that turn other survivors into bait.

Smiler (Entity 3) and Hound (Entity 8): dark-corner ambushers and fast pack hunters on industrial levels.

B Tier

Deathmoth (Entity 4) and Faceling (Entity 9): territorial swarms and unpredictable humanoids you can usually avoid.

C Tier

Entity 1, the Humans, and Jerry: sapient groups you can talk and trade with, though never fully trust.

Backrooms Survival Tips

Practical Backrooms survival rules covering noise, stamina, sanity, and the habits that keep experienced wanderers alive.

Walk QuietSprinting through carpeted halls rings a dinner bell for entities; walk unless something is already chasing you.
StaminaTreat stamina as currency and never spend it all exploring a room you have already cleared.
AlmondCarry Almond Water to steady your mind and slow the sanity drain of long solo runs.
Mark WallsWithout a reliable map, count doors and mark junctions so you can retrace your route back to an exit.
SightlinesUse corners and doorways to break line of sight instead of running in a straight line from a pursuer.
Stay CalmThe first minutes of quiet are the trap, and panic decisions cost more runs than any single entity.

Backrooms Multiplayer Guide

How co-op Backrooms games work, from proximity voice chat and squad roles to the team habits that stop a run from falling apart.

1Pick a co-op title: Backrooms: Escape Together supports up to five friends, while Escape the Backrooms runs up to four.
2Set up voice early, because proximity chat is part of the tension and callouts matter once the squad splits up.
3Assign roles: one player navigates and marks the route, another watches the rear, and the rest handle resources.
4Decide when to split, since spreading out covers ground faster but entity-heavy levels punish anyone caught alone.
5Regroup at every exit and never enter a new level until the whole squad is accounted for.
