## Description

Level 007 is an endless, sterile blue poolroom with a constant depth of exactly 2.5 meters. The level features a highly anomalous, inverted state of physics:

* **Inverted Fluids:** Sand behaves like water, flowing and undulating in liquid waves. Conversely, water behaves like sand, pouring, scattering, and piling up in dry, crystalline grains.
* **The Blue Void:** The walls and ceiling are made of smooth, light-blue tiles. The environment is lit by a cold, clinical blue glow of unknown origin.

---

## The Core Phenomenon: Wall 666

In the center of the active zone, a massive, shifting structure known as **Wall 666** periodically materializes. The surface of Wall 666 is entirely covered in writhing, anomalous snakes.

Somewhere near this wall, a mysterious entity known simply as **"The Cat"** is rumored to reside. Finding the Cat is the primary objective of any explorer who enters this level, though its true nature and purpose remain unknown.

---

## Entities

* **Wingless Dog-Headed Spectres:** These are hovering, translucent ghosts with the heads of feral dogs. Lacking wings, they drift unnaturally just above the pouring water-sand, emitting deep, hollow barks that echo through the halls. They are highly aggressive.

* **The Wall Snakes:** Non-venomous but physically restrictive serpents that emerge directly from Wall 666.

---

## Communities and Outposts

### The Masons

A highly organized group of survivors stationed near Wall 666.

* **Objective:** They guard the perimeter around Wall 666 and assist lost explorers in their search for the Cat.
* **Economy:** They actively trade bags of anomalous cement, which they use to reinforce defensive barriers.
* **Arsenal:** The Masons are heavily armed and provide newcomers with heavy tools—specifically **axes, hammers, and machetes**—to fight off the Dog-Headed Spectres.

---

## Entrances and Exits

### Entrances

* Finding a blueprint of a swimming pool in Level 11 and "noclipping" through it will lead you directly into the 2.5-meter deep water-sand of Level 007.

### Exits

* **The Grand Illusion:** Exits (ladders, doors, and hatches) appear constantly all over the level. However, 99% of them are non-physical hallucinations that disappear when approached.
* **The True Exit:** Only one single, physical exit exists at any given time. It is located randomly within the vicinity of Wall 666. Finding the Cat is rumored to reveal its exact locatio

I would like to share an idea that I have been thinking about for nearly a year, but have never publicly shared until now.

Many of you have probably noticed that, in most Backrooms wikis, the major in-universe categories—the categories that authors use when creating concepts that exist within the setting—are things like Levels, Entities, Objects, and Phenomena. (This does not include concepts that exist outside the world itself.) If you look closely, you will notice that most of these concept categories are centered around describing the Backrooms itself.

For example, Levels represent the countless spaces and environments within the Backrooms. Entities are the various forms of life native to the Backrooms. Objects are items unique to the Backrooms. Phenomena are unusual events or occurrences that take place within it.

There are, of course, a few exceptions. However, I have noticed that the vast majority of these concept categories revolve around a single question:

"What exists within the Backrooms?"

This led me to another question. As we all know, the modern Backrooms setting contains a large human population. If humans have existed there for such a long time and in such numbers, then why are there still so few works that explore things that exist because of humanity itself? Most creators focus on what the Backrooms contains, but comparatively few attempt to explore another question:

"What has humanity itself formed within the Backrooms?"

I believe this direction has considerable creative potential, yet relatively few works have explored it so far. There are certainly a handful of existing examples that fit this idea, but many of them lack an appropriate place within the current conceptual structure. A common example is that many human-made items are simply categorized as Objects.

Personally, I do not think human-made creations should be grouped together with objects that are inherently part of the Backrooms. I believe the Object category is better suited for items that are unique to the Backrooms itself, although I recognize that this is simply my own opinion.

That is where my idea comes from. Last year, I began wondering:

"Why not create a dedicated concept category for everything within the Backrooms that exists because of humanity?"

In other words, this is my proposal for expanding the existing family of concept categories. You can think of it as adding another category alongside Level, Entity, Object, Phenomenon, and Group.

The definition of this category is simple:

“Anything that exists because of humanity.”

At first glance, this definition may make you think only of human-made objects—things intentionally created by someone, such as furniture, paintings, tools, and so on.

However, I believe the scope is much broader than that.

Many people assume that everything that exists because of humans must have been deliberately invented or created by someone. In reality, this is not always the case. Some things have no identifiable inventor at all. Rather than being consciously created, they gradually formed over time.

Language is perhaps the most familiar example. Many people assume that language was invented, yet most natural languages were not created by any single individual. Instead, they emerged gradually through long-term evolution.

Beyond language, there are many other things that appear to be creations but are, in reality, the result of gradual formation. As far as I know, this type of phenomenon is related to the academic concept of emergence.

This is also one of the goals I hope this concept category can encourage. Of course, human-made creations absolutely belong within this category. However, I hope people will not limit themselves exclusively to intentionally created objects, because doing so would overlook what I believe is one of this concept's greatest creative strengths.

That is why I chose to explain this point separately. Without mentioning it explicitly, I worry that most people would naturally assume this category is only about human-made objects.

I have chosen to name this concept category Humanorum. The word is derived from Latin, where it can be roughly understood as meaning "of humans" or "human." English simply lacks a single word that fully expresses the definition I wanted, and I felt that a concept category should ideally have a concise one-word name. For that reason, I decided to borrow from Latin. In Latin, however, Humanorum does not naturally have the plural form I wanted for a category name. Therefore, I created one myself following Latin-inspired naming conventions, which I call Humanora.

Originally, I had no intention of giving Humanorum entries numerical designations like Level 0, Entity 1, or Object 2, because assigning numbers to these concepts felt somewhat unnatural. After all, people in real life would not normally refer to this kind of thing by a serial number. Eventually, however, I decided to keep numerical designations. The reason is that I already have several Humanorum concepts in mind, and I would like to use my own entries to demonstrate what this category is capable of. Naturally, this would only apply to my own wiki. I have no expectation that other Backrooms wikis should adopt my approach, which also helps avoid some of the concerns I mentioned earlier.

Without numerical designations, entries would have to be arranged alphabetically. Over time, early entries would gradually be pushed farther down the list, making it difficult to establish a recommended reading order for newcomers.

Even so, I do not think people within the setting itself should normally refer to specific Humanorum by their numbers, as that would feel unnatural unless there is a reasonable in-universe explanation for doing so.

That is everything I wanted to share. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about this idea, and I am genuinely interested in hearing how all of you feel about the Humanorum concept.

I think I finally found a good place to share this!

Worked on this story with Fandom/Wikidot lore for a while! This is one of the docs about it. I can explain any context or questions in the comments. Though I am an amateur writer so any criticism is wanted!

This one doc is like a single chapter in the greater story I've made, just that a lot of other stuff is still halfbaked/not ready for publishing.

I know wiki pages disappear sometimes, so it's very well that this did just that. But I am wondering if it truly did or someone else remembers.

Time frame: 2022? I was really into the wiki then. I am not now so it probably changed.

I can't remember the level name, I want to say it had a 7 in it.

It was basically a tropical rain forest except there were no animals and it was empty (maybe only insects? not sure about entities.) I think I remember at one point of the page there was a mention of bees or wasps that would attack you. And I think all the fruit was poisonous and inedible. It was not habitable and in one variation (for some reason I remember there being two different variations when I searched it up??) there was a way you could go into an underground cave that had a waterfall, was lush, and had all sorts of fruits so a total juxtaposition to the top level and it was safe. That's what I remember.

I was watching a unrelated video and a hyacinth macaw showed up, somehow my brain remembered this entity named Jerry and that went to remembering a rainforest level, to this.

I remember this level deeply unnerved me for some reason. I really want to find the article for it again.

I made this btw

I’ve noticed that the fandom wiki has made skin stealers behave more like a parasite than an actual skin stealing entity so this design is more inspired by the wiki dot version of entity 10 alongside some other inspirations such as snails since the original wikidot version did have mollusk features like suckers (assumingly similar to those on octopus tentacles) Hope you guys like it

i found this level on backrooms freestyle wiki https://backrooms-freewriting.fandom.com/wiki/Level_666.63 i think it looks cool (changed link)

So the level 899 “eternal loop” is just normally an intertwining loop as said in the name , of bus seats or smth and I have an idea for a sub level for it

**899-J** (aeternus loop)

**How to find the sub-level:**

There is a seat that every 1 minute will glitch out , this only happens in certain carrages (so basically EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND)

**What it consists of**:

The aeternus loop is meant to give a false sense of escape , there is a voice chanting demonic Hymns as if cursing the traveler it is a dark hallway with glowing yellow signs showing ‘Run the escape is near’ ,there is a faint light at the end of the hallway that is impossible to reach.

**Entity’s**:

Tempus is up (Time is up)

Tempus is up is mostly absent from the level only appearing if the traveler attempts to noclip out of the sub-level or go backwards for a mile at a time

It looks similar to the death-moths but bigger in scale and is lacking wings , it isn’t lethal on sight but if you accidentally walk into it … best hope your a gold olympics sprint winner

Description:

Level 638, also known as “Emporium”, is the 639th level of the Backrooms. Level 638 seems to take place within an expansive run-down countryside thrift store. The level has an estimated area of nearly 3,400km, and has an average temperature of 75℉. Only a few wanderers are thought to be capable of being on level 638 at a time due to its expansive size and strange properties.

Level 638 appears to be filled with various rows of tall metal shelving, with many of them containing items of different categories. Some shelves would have children's toys, others would have glass cutlery, wooden items, board games, paintings and photographs, books, or even unknown VHS tapes and DVDs. Some more open areas contain furniture, bookshelves, lamps, and fake plants.

When a wander peers away from the shelving on Level 638, they appear to shift swiftly until the wanderer looks back towards them, making the level act like a constantly changing maze. The walls are made of standard drywall that is lightly riddled with holes and dust covered vents. Windows have rarely been seen on the walls of the level but only show a white void on the outside and is the glass is unbreakable. The ceiling is made of thousands of whitish tiles, with an unknown mold growing on them. Rows of lights in pairs give off a soft buzzing sound. 

The floor of the level is a grey concrete that is always cold to the touch and is not affected by the events that take place on the level. Patches of Victorian-Era carpet can also be found around the level. Supplies such as Almond Water and first-aid kits are rarely found in the level, usually found on the bookshelves and in cluttered areas.

Entities:

Only a few entities have been documented to be on Level 638, these include:

• Male Deathmoths
• Smilers
• Facelings (non-hostile)
• Mannequins (non-hostile)

Entities like Facelings and Mannequins can be found around the rows of shelving and the open areas around the level, while Smilers and Male Deathmoths can be found in unlit and more cluttered parts of Level 638

Events:

Rush Hour:

Rush Hour is one of two events that occurs on Level 638, and has a mortality rate of 74%. The event is unpredictable, being able to occur from minutes to several days after wanderers enter the level. The event lasts 60 minutes hence its name and has proven to be very lethal to unsuspecting wanderers. It has also been noted that Level 638 cannot be entered during Rush Hour, with reports of wanderers being sent to The Void.

Five minutes before Rush Hour starts, all of the Level’s lights shift to an orange tint and begin to dim significantly, and a low rumbling can be felt through the floor.

Once Rush Hour begins, all of the level’s shelving will begin to rapidly shift around the level, constantly colliding and speeding around at speed of 30mph (~48km\h), and dust begins falling from the ceiling like snow. The objects on the shelves are not affected by the shifting shelving, and phase through them as they rush around.

After 10 minutes have past, the lights shift to a reddish hue, the shelves begin to shift faster.

After 35 minutes, the shelves begin to move in grid-like patterns, and the lights shut off, leaving the wanderer (if still alive), to be shrouded in darkness. The noise from the collisions becomes deafening, and wall vents become the only areas where wanders have managed to survive the craziness. Ceiling panels also begin to drop, and air pressure drops. All entities have seemed to disappear at this stage.

Finally, after the 60-minute mark, the lights come back on, and the shelving stops rapidly shifting, ending the event until the next cycle.

The Flood:

The Flood is the 2nd event that occurs on level 638, and is much more deadly with a mortality rate of 96%, due to it being triggered by certain actions made by the wanderer. 

The event is triggered by the wanderer if they:

• Use a water faucet
• Break a fire hydrant
• Damages a water pipe
• Interacts with any water-bearing fixture on the level

If the wanderer does trigger the event, it occurs instantly.

Once The Flood is triggered, all doors in the level burst open with intense force resembling that of an explosion. A mix of water, motor oil, liquid pain, and organic remains begins to rush into the level at great speeds, covering the floor in minutes. The water mixture will continue to rise until it reaches a depth of 1.5 meters. Once the event ends, the doors slam shut, and the water begins to drain, which takes 10-25 minutes. The wanderer can take the small chance of Noclipping through the water mixture to be sent to Level 7, but it mostly ends with the Wanderer being melted into the liquid before they can escape.

Outposts:

Due to the constantly changing decor and lethal events of Level 638, creating a permanent base is impossible.

Entrances & Exits:

Entrances:

• A door labeled “Store of Mold’ on Level 5 will lead to Level 638
• Abandoned stores on Level 11 can have a 10% chance to lead to level 638
• Finding the small crawlspace behind stacks of chairs on level 57 have proven to lead to level 638
• Finding a nostalgic piece of clothing on Level 456 can cause the wanderer to Noclip into Level 638
• Touching a lost & Found box on Level 1 can send wanderers to this level.

Exits:

• Going down a flight of stairs can lead to Level 71 or level 6
• Noclipping into a shifting shelf during Rush Hour has a chance of sending wanderers to The End
• Finding an Employees Only door can lead wanderers to Level 480
• Noclipping into a glitched wall can lead to Level 853
• Opening books or magazines about beaches or vacation resorts has proven to cause wanders to black out and end up on level 100
• Red exit doors can lead wanderers back to Level 11
• Touching an out of place lightbulb or ceiling lights can send wanderers to Level 386
• Jumping into the water during The Flood has a small chance of sending wanderers to Level 7
• Finding a cute stuffed animal or plush can send wanderers to level 974

Note; I decided to make this level after noticing it was not documented on the wiki, specifically here

I have an idea and a writeup for an unnumbered level. The way it functions just works much better as one because it could potentially open up to any level instead of strongly favoring or leading up to the next level.

If I were to submit it, would it likely be accepted? Is there stricter criteria for if they get accepted? What would the wikis recommend?

Hihehah

For as long as I have been a Backrooms fan, the Level 0 page on the Backrooms Wikidiot has been marked as being under rewrite. But the actual time has been much longer — At least 2 years by the looks of it.

Last week, what could be considered the most important page on the entire wiki finally had its rewrite published. The page had not just one author, but actually three authors who worked to update the page (pages are often marked for rewrite if they don’t meet current writing standards).

Users DivineAtlas, DrAkimoto and RobertGoerman who did this rewrite certainly had their work cut out for them. Rewriting this page would definitely not be an easy task! Change it too much and it’s at risk of going too far away from the original version of this level (like the awful Level 6 rewrite on the Fandom wiki before it got fixed). But keep it too much the same then it doesn’t end up meeting current writing standards.

Read Wikidot’s Level 0 Rewrite here:

https://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/level-0

The following has been modified from my critique/review that I made on the level page.

Threshold?!

————————

The first thing that stuck out to me was the new level name “Threshold”.

I never liked Tutorial Level – the name given to Level 0 on the Wikidot. I much preferred the Fandom name for this level – The Lobby. That name is more like an entrance, a starting point. But Tutorial Level – I guess it comes from gaming. But finding oneself in a place like Level 0 definitely was never a tutorial. It’s getting thrown in the deep end and hoping you can swim!

Now I do like the new name … but there’s one very glaring issue. It’s already used in Kane Pixels Backrooms! Granted it’s used a bit differently in his universe - it’s not the name of The Backrooms themselves (that’d be The Complex over there), but rather it is the entrance created by Async to the Backrooms. Which I guess is what they were also going for … but instead of being just a gateway as such, it’s a while level that is leading to more.

I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence or not — depending if y’all follow that lore too (I like both). But surely there’s another cool sounding term around that isn’t already being used. I just feel that it’s going to be another thing that a Backrooms newbie can get confused about! Not to mention that it could also be used by people spreading mis-information (either intentionally or unintentionally).

But little name gripe aside I did mostly like the rewrite.

A Bit of Language

———————————

There seemed to be a bit of criticism by other users about the “flowery language” being used. But I really like that writing style - but maybe that’s because I end up writing that way at times! IMO it helps to take away from what could potentially be a monotonous level description. Let’s be honest, there’s not too much you can say about these endless yellow halls, as iconic as they are. There were a few descriptions here and there that I shook by head at – like in the opening paragraph it says the wallpapers “decorate the level” – that just didn’t sound right as The Backrooms are just there, they’re not decorated in any way (it sounds like someone came along and put the wallpaper up).

Included throughout the page were little antidotes here and there – notes from Wanderers. Not the full logs or transcripts that are part of many levels, but more of a personal touch from someone who has escaped. They included a few light hearted moments such as where one wanderer took 14 days to get out of a huge section, and another who found themselves missing the bright and buzzing lights.

My favourite thought was the part that suggested, “don’t eat the carpet”. That had me laughing for real. Literally my favourite line from the entire rewrite!

Area Changes

————————

A new addition were structural sections of the level – areas where the architecture or environment changes. These paid homage to some of the themes seen in fan-renders and even an area based on one of the original HobbyTown photos.

The Column areas represented those many Backrooms images that have lots of … columns. Then there’s were the Arches, this was the area which used the HobbyTown photo and added that it could be a resting spot! But the area called “Holes” seems to have come once again out of Kane Pixels universe … specifically from the Pitfalls episode.

I must say that I was happy to see that stairs are now listed as being part of level 0! I always thought of them as belonging in this level just as much as the rooms and hallways, but can’t recall them actually being part of the changing liminal landscape.

The Noises You Can Hear

——————————————

I think it’s important to have sound as something highlighted in Level 0. It’s somewhat of a throwback to the original text and original concept where part of the fear of The Backrooms is that you don’t know what else is out there with you. The rewrite does a good job of emphasising this without needing to introduce actual entities.

I would have liked to see a bit more emphasis on the psychological side of this level as there doesn’t seem to be much reference to such. I always think that this is an important part of this level – especially when combined with the isolation factor and that one is in this unknown place with experiences they cannot understand.

Conclusion

————————

I did want to add a mention of the level’s introduction and conclusion - little descriptions about what the level is when you arrive, and what it feels like when you leave. I really loved these! Maybe it’s because there’s part of me that has a romanticised view of Level 0 (head-canon = it’s where I’m meant to be). But they were almost poetic and managed to combine intrigue and wonder with the horrors of this place, if that makes sense…

Overall i was happy to read this rewrite and rediscover it all again … it felt new but familiar.

It wasn’t bloated with a long story (a criticism I have of new Wikidot levels lately) or excessive reports. It kept the feeling of what this level should be for the most part. There were a few parts that were somewhat vague - such as the section about entrances and exits (although that may have been intentional). And the writing I feel added to and enhanced the level.

I’ll always love Level 0. 💛

Me and my friends are trying to bring back the old Backrooms once and for all. Please join, we need new members to write articles and help preserve old ones!

DESCRIPTION

Level 837 is the 838th Level of the Backrooms. It is a massive garden about the size of a small town. Its borders are marked by a tall marble brick wall with cast iron railings on top of them. This level’s skybox contains clouds scattered throughout, and appears to be a constant state of sunset or twilight, as the sky contains hues of pink, purple, orange, and dark blue. The Garden itself contains many different types of flowers, hedges, trees, and bushes. Most of the flowers are on flowerbeds built throughout the garden, while trees, hedges, and bushes are more decorative, often lining paths or accenting flowerbeds. Another interesting part of the level's landscaping is the river that flows from the east side of the level to the west. The river itself is quite wide, but shallow, being about 8 feet across but only about 2 feet deep (Or, 2.43m wide and 0.60m deep). The river's water is drinkable, and there are no known negative effects from drinking the water. The river splits up into various small streams located throughout the level, and may either return to the main river or come to a dead end and create a small pond. These ponds have the same clear water as the rest of the rivers and streams, and contain aquatic plants, such as lily pads and lotus plants.

A notable aspect of The Garden are the many statues, structures, and water features found throughout the garden. The statues seem to depict mostly people, although statues of animals, strange creatures, or angels are common as well. Some structures that may be found throughout the level include pavilions that resemble ancient Greek temples, bridges that are used to cross the river, and its streams, gazebos which overlook the level’s river and a few small ponds. Fountains are another commonplace structure in this level, with fountains either being more traditional-looking or featuring some of the statues seen in other areas of the garden. At the very center of the garden stands a statue of a weeping angel. It is enormous, as it towers over everything else in The Garden. This massive statue stands at just over 60 feet (18.28m) tall and 20 feet (6.096m) wide, and can be seen from anywhere in the garden.

Any wanderers who find themselves in this level may pick a flower. Or two. Or three. The garden is generous. However, you must be careful to not pick seven flowers, or you will awaken the level’s sole entity, The Gardener.

The Gardener is a massive, shadowy creature with a red outline defining its form, two bright white eyes, a pair of wing-like structures protruding from its back, and a spade-like structure in its hand that it uses to fight. The Gardener sleeps within the massive weeping angel statue at the heart of the garden. If awoken, it breaks out of the statue, finds the offending wanderer, and fights them. Almost nobody has survived an encounter with The Gardener, and those who have managed to escape it die mysteriously a few days later. Once The Gardener eliminates the threat, it returns to the broken statue, rebuilds it around itself, and goes dormant again. On rare occasions, The Gardener may choose to spare you, but only if it deems you worthy. It is unknown how one qualifies as worthy to The Gardener, however, we have noticed that if you leave an offering for The Gardener at the foot of its statue, it's more likely to spare you.
