**Survival Difficulty: Class 1**
**》Safe**
**》Secure**
**》Minimal Entity Count**
**Level 1** is the 2nd level of the Backrooms.

## Description

**Level 1** is a massive warehouse with concrete floors and walls, exposed rebar, dim fluorescent lights placed on the walls and a low-hanging fog with no discernible source. The fog often coalesces into condensation, forming puddles on the floor in inconsistent areas. Unlike Level 0, this level possesses a consistent supply of water and electricity, which allows indefinite habitation by wanderers providing that appropriate precautions are taken. It is also far more expansive, possessing staircases, elevators, isolated rooms, and hallways.

The fluorescent lights at any time can flicker and turn off for minutes or even hours. When this occurs, hostile entities may appear. These entities rarely attack in groups and tend to avoid light. If the lights turn off, It is strongly advised to try and navigate your steps, Try and avoid any strange noises and then find a room, Make sure to bring a light source with you.

Crates of supplies appear and disappear randomly within the Level, often containing a mixture of vital items (food, Almond Water, batteries, tarps, weaponry, clothing, medical supplies) and nonsensical objects (assorted car parts, boxes of crayons, used syringes, partially burned paper, live mice, mice in a catatonic state that have been injected with unknown substances, shoelaces, loose change, bundles of human hair). The crates should be approached with caution due to their contents, but are a valuable resource.

In addition, crude paintings and drawings with no apparent origin or meaning appear on the walls and floors. They are known to change in appearance and disappear when not in direct line of sight or when unlit. The light fixtures within **Level 1** are prone to flicker and fail at inconsistent intervals; when this occurs, supplies are liable to vanish inexplicably and hostile entities may appear unexpectedly. These entities rarely attack in groups, and tend to avoid light and large gatherings of people. It is advised to carry a reliable light source and sleep holding whatever items you do not wish to lose.

**Level 1** also serves as the entrance to The Hub.

## Entities

Beings typically lurk in **Level 1**, especially when the lights are off. Known beings on **Level 1** include Dullers, adult Facelings, Hounds, Skin-Stealers, and Scratchers.

## Colonies and Outposts

There are currently eight known colonies and outposts in **Level 1**. It should be noted that attempting to meet up with these colonies will prove extremely difficult, as the Backrooms stretch out for millions of miles. Some of them may not exist now; some might have not existed at all.

### The Raiders

* Recently discovered group, with a expected number of 68 members;
* They are mostly friendly with regular travelers and are willing to trade, but will shoot down members of certain groups;
* Currently, they're not very strong; (so they got knocked out after being suspected of making an alliance with the Partygoers during Operation Endparty)
* Apparently, their main objective is to eradicate every big group in the backrooms, claiming that adding corruption or politics into the backrooms would make it a even worse place. They plan to get bigger and bigger by stealing and taking over colonies and outposts. This however failed when they tried to steal Outpost Funtime. Although recounts don't show this, a camera footage has been found. 60 Raiders were killed in this incident. This led to M.E.G to believe that they were making an alliance with the Partygoers so they were recently destroyed in the Battle of Midtown.

### Base Flickers of the Backroom Colonists

* Relatively a small base.
* Owned by the main group.
* Friendly and open to trade.
* Population ranging from 25 to 200, depending on the number of people stationed there.
* Usually used for fandom or reddit posts by people there.
* Has public Wi-FI and allows people to go here for any internet catch up
* Often interacts with other outposts or bases in the level (mainly The Republic of Level 153 and The Orderly Republic).

### Republic of Level 153

* Outpost of the Republic of Level 153. Has around 40 members.
* Takes in survivors.

* Heavily armed at all times due to entities.
* Normally open for trading except for during search and rescues.
* Open for staying with them (for safety) for a week or so in exchange for small amounts of supplies.

### Sanction

* Previously hidden behind a false wall roughly 98m/~321.522 feet southeast from the "exit".
* Devastated by unknown entity/entities.
* No members found but noises are common when near the false wall.
* Some still claim to see the residents and even talking to them, only people who didn't know the fate of the Sanction report seeing them.
* Strange markings on the walls.
* Claimed to have to be a cult with being reborn as their objective, considered alive by most, since people still talk to them and prove that they aren't lying, by revealing things only they would know.
* Easily recognizable as all of the documented members have a scar on their left cheek.

### Oasis Lyra of The OFSEB

* Accommodates, supplies, and recruits wanderers;
* Population is ~130;
* Supplies are dependent on supply chains;
* Not open to trade, but willing to supply travelers passing through.

## Entrances and Exits

### Entrances

* **Level 1** has many entrances; opening ordinary doors in many levels has a small chance of leading to the level.
* One is able to enter this level by noclipping in Level 0.
* Noclip in Level 1.5 to enter this level.
* One can enter this level by switching a lever given by The Younging in Level 995.
* One can also enter this level by entering the correct number on the number pad in Level 1051.

### Exits

One can exit **Level 1** by simply continuing to explore the Backrooms. **Level 1** usually leads to Level 2 or back to Level 0. Other methods of exiting the level are as follows:

* An unlocked door may lead to Level 2.
* The Hub can be accessed from this level. From the entrance of **Level 1**, head straight down the corridor, and stop at the door. Go through the door, then continue until the end of that corridor. Then, double back to the entrance of the level. There should now be a diverging path that goes left or right. Take the left. There will be another divergence. Take the right. Then, at the next one, take a left, and at the next one, take a right. As soon as the right path is taken, the path will lead to two doors, labelled A and B. Take the B door. Upon going through that door, the new room will look identical to the last one. Now, take the A door. This is the door that leads to The Hub. If any of these steps are completed incorrectly, like taking the wrong turn or not doubling back, one may end up somewhere completely random.
* If you somehow encountered Entity 126 and got caught, there will be a small chance for you to not be killed and be dragged by it to Level 6
* Noclipping through walls that have outlets may lead to either Level 229 or Level 188.
* Rarely, falling asleep in this level may lead one to one of the bedrooms in Level 1950.
* Finding and interacting with a black doll may lead one to Level 7453.
* Noclipping through the other side of the walls without falling to the void will lead to Level ½.
