Level No.. 57 "Toys "R" Us"

## **Level 57: “Toys “R” Us”, Survival Difficulty Class Habitable: Safe, Sustained Communities, Devoid of Hostile Entities**

Level 57 is the 57TH Discovered Level of The Labyrinth, commonly known as the “Toys “R” Us Level” and “A Child’s Paradise”.

## **Description:**

Level 57 is a nearly-infinite Toys “R” Us retail toy store that is measured to be 522.8 Square Miles (Or 334,592 Acres) large, with many aisles and shelves that seem to be full of stock with many brands and types of toys from many popular and obscure toy brands from many decades. All of the shelves appear to be fully stocked, as they mysteriously restock every 3-7 Hours. Level 57 also has many different “Regions” of aisles, for example, one area could appear as if it was from the 1990s, and another could appear as if it was from the 2010s. Level 57 also has a few freezers and refrigerated aisles that have different foods, along with an aisle that is full of things like ovens and microwaves (Which is very unusual in a regular Toys “R” Us).

Level 57 has a lot of vending machines that restock every few hours and do not need any currency, and they also contain things like Almond Water, Energy Brownies, Lucky O’ Milk, Royal Rations, and other snacks and beverages that are present in The Frontrooms and those exclusive to The Backrooms and The Labyrinth. (Even if you do drink a bottle of “Luck” flavored Lucky O’ Milk on Level 57 there will be no negative or positive effects that will occur, no matter if it is ingested cold or warm.) Some Food-O-Matic 5000 machines have also been found on this Level. There have been few aisles stocked with candy and snacks. Some common objects found on Level 57 are shopping carts. There are some sections in Level 57 where checkout counters can be found, unattended, along with shelves with candies, gift cards, and small toys. If someone wants to steal from the cash registers, they are free to do so. Every few hours, the money that was stolen from the cash registers will restock, and the currency has always been US Dollars and coins.

## **Entities:**

As of this article being typed, there have been no Entities found on this level. On July 17TH, Saturday, 1999, a 5-Year-Old boy of African-American descent named “Perry” had seemingly ended up in Level 57. Perry was scared and found a Walkie-Talkie on the ground, and he knew exactly what to do. He explained to the M.A.C. operative that he was 5 Years Old, and knew how to operate the device because his father was a combat veteran and taught him how to use one. As little Perry kept traversing Level 57, he stopped to collect some toy cars in an aisle and was scared when he heard footsteps and asked the M.A.C. Operative what to do. The M.A.C. Operative told him to hide, but Perry told him that he didn’t know where to hide. Then, Perry reported to the M.A.C. Operative that he saw a man dressed in a Toys “R” Us outfit walk past the aisle, and told the Operative that he was going to ask the man for help.

The Operative told Perry to be careful, just in case this adult was dangerous. Perry attempted to get the man’s assistance, by saying phrases like “Mister? I’m lost, may you please help me?” and “Mister? I don’t know where my mommy and daddy are, and I need your help, please…” The man did turn around, and Perry started to scream, and rapid footsteps were heard. The M.A.C. Operative tried to ask Perry what was wrong and tried to calm him down, but after five minutes of running away, Perry calmed down and began to explain, that once the man turned around, he had no face, and it scared him so bad that he almost wet his pants to see someone without a face, but he explained that the man did not attack. The M.A.C. Operative explained to Perry that the being was a Faceling and that he was sending some of his friends to come to help Perry.

After that event, Little Perry had spent the rest of his years in The Refuge Center of The Level Traversal Hub, and is now an operative of the M.A.C. and is friendly with children. As of now, this was the first and only confirmed instance of an Entity being found on Level 57, and sightings of Facelings have not been reported 20+ years later, so this Level is very safe.

## **Colonies & Outposts:**

So far, there has only been one Colony formed here on Level 57, and the M.A.C. had previously considered establishing a Colony or Outpost on Level 57, but it was deemed unnecessary due to this Level being extremely peaceful, and that there were other more dangerous Levels that were habitable, that needed Colonies, Outposts, and resources for other survivors traversing The Labyrinth.

### **Colony: “The Children of Level 57”**

“The Children of Level 57” is not the official name of this Level, but it’s what the M.A.C. refers to this group.

-As suggested in the title, this Colony contains children, a lot of them, ranging from ages 3 to 17 Years Old, along with a few adults in this level as well.

-There are an estimated 618 Children in this Level, who they all get along with, and are mostly very childish, friendly, and playful to each other and other wanderers.

-This Colony has around 59 Adults in the level ranging from the ages 18 to 35, and are hospitable to both the children and other wanderers.

-The Adults regularly keep in contact with the M.A.C., and every month the M.A.C. comes in to do medical check-ups on all of the people in the Colony and provides some supplies like food and water.

-Around 45% of the children here are actually missing children from all over the world who have somehow managed to enter The Labyrinth, enter Level 57, and reside there.

## **Entrances & Exits:**

### **Entrances:**

-Intentionally Noclipping through a shelf with toys in any store in The Frontrooms will cause you to Noclip, and end up in Level 57 of The Labyrinth, but this has a 1 in 100,000 chance of happening.

-Finding a door with the Toys “R” Us mascot, Geoffrey the Giraffe, will always lead to a random area of Level 57, and going back through the door will bring you back to the Level you entered Level 57 from. These doors have been found on a majority of Levels in The Backrooms, but disappear once you turn your back, but Levels that have these doors, and also do not vanish if you look away, are Levels 1, 5, 6, 37, 74, and some other Levels (I will come up with some others later).

-Intentionally Noclipping through a shelf with toys in any toy aisle in Level 6 of The Labyrinth will cause you to Noclip, and find yourself in Level 57 of The Labyrinth, and has a 1 in 1,000 chance of occurring.

-Finding a Golden Elevator in any other Levels, and if you have visited Level 57 before, you can enter the Level by pressing the button with the number “57” over “The Labyrinth” section of buttons that correspond to their Level numbers.

-Entering a Toys “R” Us in Level 61.1 will lead you to Level 57.

-Intentionally Noclipping through the wall of any former Toys “R” Us store located in Level 86 will lead you into Level 61.1, this may be difficult to tell if a store in Level 86 used to be a Toys “R” Us, but certain people have remembered.

### **Exits:**

-This exit from Level 57 is heavily ill-advised, but there have been some very rare cases where there have been walls inside of Level 57 that appear to be “Glitched”. One 14-Year-Old boy told his friends that he would enter the wall after they were able to stick their hands in it, and slightly Noclip through the wall. Once the boy went into the wall, he never came back. Their friends, concerned about their friend, entered through the glitched wall, and only one of them came back visibly and mentally traumatized after what he saw. M.A.C. researchers had investigated this phenomenon which happens very rarely and walked through the wall to enter Sub-Level 57.2, a much more sinister version of the child-friendly Toys “R” Us-oriented Level, Level 57.

-Walking out of the sliding exit doors of Level 57 will lead to Level 61.1, in the parking lot of a Toys “R” Us, and re-entry is possible.

-Intentionally Noclipping into any wall of Level 57 will lead you to Level 86, either inside of a former Toys “R” Us store or back to the spot of the store you Noclipped through if you came from Level 86 of The Labyrinth.

-Intentionally Noclipping into one of the bathrooms in Level 57 of The Labyrinth, the person will Noclip through the wall and end up in a random bathroom in Level 189 of The Backrooms.

-Although there is a rare chance of finding one, finding a Golden Elevator can lead you to any Level of The Backrooms and The Labyrinth that you have traversed.

## **Footnotes:**

Level 57 is one of the most peaceful Levels in The Labyrinth.
