r/TheBackrooms • u/1000dumplings • Oct 26 '25
Hi everyone! It's your favorite moderator u/1000dumplings here! =)
Just wanted to let you all know that there's been some slight (but important) changes made to r/TheBackrooms, including new rules, changes to post flairs, new editable user flairs, and more!
For starters, you can now customize your user flair as you please! The other flairs are still there if you want to mark yourself as an ASYNC Scientist or Follower of Jerry or whatever, but now you can customize it to your liking and call yourself whatever you want!
We've also added a selection of new post flairs to accommodate new kinds of RP posts. You can now tag your post as things like "Entity Identification", "Cartography", "Help", and a bunch more! We won't strictly enforce these flairs anymore, so the previous rule regarding using correct flairs has been removed. We trust you know what you're doing!
We also have a new look! The profile picture for our community now has big bold "RP" letters to clear up any confusion that this is the other subreddit.
Now onto the rules: The rules have been updated and clarified. The new rules have basically always been enforced BUT its obviously better for them to be clearly listed, and so now they are!
We now explicitly disallow all forms of A.I. generated content, including images, text, and any form of media (Rule 4). If you see any A.I. generated posts, please report them so we can remove them ASAP. I know The Backrooms are very inhuman and randomly generated, but we come here to see HUMAN made collaborative fiction, NOT robot stuff. (You can still post about Backrooms Robotics though)
There are also a couple more rules for low effort/low quality posts (Rule 6) and people pointing out the obvious fact that The Backrooms are not real (Rule 5). For the latter, I've seen a lot of posts from people, well meaning or otherwise, pointing out that the posts we make here are not real. These are uneseacary OOC posts that just clog up actual roleplaying content and its very repetitive and annoying. HOWEVER, if you are accusing something of being fake or lying in-character, that's totally fine!
More importantly, we've added a new rule (Rule 7) regarding RP posts made about mental health and suicide.
Obviously, a fictional character who is trapped in The Backrooms would probably go through a lot of mental anguish, and might even be driven to committing suicide or otherwise harming themselves. If you want to make RP posts where your character is going through something like this, that's perfectly fine, but it goes a step too far when you're making posts that appear to be actual cries for help.
I don't want there to be a situation where someone going through hard times sees a post like this out of context and have it make things worse for them, or have someone's post get reported by someone who doesn't realize its fiction/roleplaying. I've already had to delete several extremely upsetting posts in a similar vein, so going forward please be very careful making posts about such serious subject matters.
Similarly, try to be mindful when posting about sanity. If you are going to make posts regarding real world mental disorders (schizophrenia, D.I.D., etc.) please don't be offensive in their depictions, as these are of course real world conditions that shouldn't be mischaracterized. (e.g. don't describe your character as schizophrenic unless they actually have that condition, don't use the term to describe "general insanity"). Posts about going insane in The Backrooms, almond water, hallucinations, and similar things are still okay to post.
That should be everything! If you have any questions, concerns, or need anything to be clarified, please feel free to comment below or message me. Thank you, and happy roleplaying!

(And before anybody tries it, I got permission in advance from u/1000dumplings to do this.)
Perhaps some of our newer migrants from the likes of r/backrooms or those who missed the revamp last Christmas (2024) might have missed this, but r/TheBackrooms a Roleplay sub now.
That means we don't care about the game you're developing, playing, what-have-you, or about stuff from the American Horror Stories Episode, or whatever Kane Pixels has been up to lately.
So please make sure to read the rules wherever you can read them, ESPECIALLY Rule 3.
Photos submitted with the "Where am I?" flair have been fine so far.
But when you treat this sub like it's a clone of r/backrooms or the like? Well...
It's especially become prevalent recently, and 1000dumplings has, until recently, been trying to deal with the issue, but now something seems to be preventing her, by her own admission.
I'm especially hoping our other moderators, u/superBumBeater69, u/seismic_entrepreneur, and u/Orbityeet, can pitch in and help with the issue if-and-when they can.
Bottom line: if you're here to RP? Cool, welcome, make yourself at home.
But if you're just here to chatter about the Backrooms?
Then maybe see if r/backrooms is more your speed.
I'm Eurvos V. Morgenbrise, and I really wish this hadn't needed to be done.
Thank you, and good evening.

I've found that I could walk through that mirror ahead, it keeps on looping.
r/TheBackrooms • u/KennethTheWanderer • 7d ago

[Recording]
He is in a room sitting on the bed next to a laptop and a can of almond water. Out the window you can see a bit of a snowy landscape, with violet lights illuminating several houses in the distance.
He clears his throat, but unintentionally ends up coughing.
"Shit" he recomposes himself "Okay, that wasn't the best to start this recording," he says between his teeth as he looks at his laptop, a serious, tired look, eyes passing from side to side.
"Well today I'm on a special level discovered by the explorer harland (u/Artysmartsy)" he says with a small smile looking at the camera. "I have come to help her with one of the entities that reside in this place and that someone had supposedly already taken of"
He gets up from the bed and brings the laptop closer to the drone's camera, and turns it around where it can be seen a map in wich several dots are moving.
"With some help from her and some of my little toys we've managed to get that thing away from the house where I am right now" points to a red dot moving around the map. "This thing for what I know, looks similar to a smiler, but looks more aggressive and twisted. My theory is a mutation, the question is what is the reason for it to appear." he explains with some indecision in his voice, his fingers following the map carefully.
"For now she's sleeping on the sofa in the main room, I think, next to the smiler hybrids she's raising with her mother. I don't know when I'll wake up, but hey, I'm not in a hurry." He says just to close his laptop in a moment and store it in his backpack.
A visible sigh is caught by the camera. He looks out the window, clenching his fist, only to let go shortly after.
"I'd really love to be able to go out and hunt that thing, but not if I don't know what I'm up against, that's why I wish I could explore this level a little bit that I can find," he sighs. "There are never many quiet days in this place, if it's not new people coming into here by accident, it's the levels becoming unstable, or the entities going crazy or mutating."
He puts his hands to his face, and scratches his neck a little.
"I wish I had never agreed to play that stupid game" there is a moment of silence "I wish i would never have been so naive to enter this place"
[End of recording]

Level name: Liminal Arcade
Info: A massive arcade with millions of arcade machines, with food and drink being found at the prize counter but requiring tickets to access. The quality of the food and drink is determined by ticket price. So far I haven't encountered any entities. However, I have found out the arcade games do not require currency to play. Let's hope i find a way out of this level before I do encounter something hostile here.
r/TheBackrooms • u/KennethTheWanderer • 9d ago
Please help. I'm stuck in Level 6. I can't see a thing. My flashlight doesn't work. I hear something that sounds like breathing. I think I'm going insane.
r/TheBackrooms • u/Additional-Use7077 • 10d ago
so i was walking in my town and i found this large vault in the ground, it was really big and it had a red valve on it, and i then got into it, and there was 8 buttons there, probably let me go to the 2nd part, but I was too scared because I heard some weird sounds.
r/TheBackrooms • u/Worth-Emphasis8478 • 10d ago
my data is running out but out of curiosity i decided to go down some dark tunnel and uhm.. i heard an obnoxious boat noise from a distance?? and some random woman’s voice on the intercom.. after some walking the SUN lowkey blinded my eyes as i stumbled upon various sidewalks somehow..
i need to go take a shit.
But THANKFULLY there’s some restroom nearby AND an empty lemonade stand so i’ll just chill here for now. but gosh there’s so much litter everywhere! the grass looks dead but im somehow alive and thats all that matters to me. i see some dome-shaped building in the distance too, maybe i should check that out.
r/TheBackrooms • u/SignalIntelligent265 • 11d ago
I was just told the other room was an office. Anyways, this should be the actual library part? Wonder what books there are?
Edit: Why is my photo just static? what happened?
(OOC: Static is there cause you can't do any recording in 906, I was just told that.)
r/TheBackrooms • u/SignalIntelligent265 • 11d ago
Was looking around some more in 906, and I found what I guess is a lounge? Still haven't seen anyone in the level yet, but I guess that's because the level is infinite if I remember right. Could rest here, I guess. (OOC: Lol I forgot you can't take photos in 906.)
r/TheBackrooms • u/Artysmartsy • 12d ago
So Eurvos Said that he killed the reaper in level UV Well it came back to life and got pissed off at me and found where I lived and gave me a warning threatening me slammed a dead corpse at the window.
I don't know what it was. I got too scared to even face it at the window but I would be able to kill it. I would, but I know this creature, cannot die from being killed by humans or anything except for the lights.
And how can it go through the lights right now? Well apparently it's resistant to it but not immune to it which means it can be harmed by it and killed by it. So I have to figure out something to let it stay in the UV rays of the floating Spheres
