****Silent Club**** is a 1.5/1.6/2.1 Extreme Demon created by BlackP2Sfull (Play 1107696) and verified and published by Luqualizer. This level became famous for starting the Silent Level series. This level was possible in theory, but when Update 2.1 came out, the orb masking method used became impossible, meaning the level cannot be completed without hacks. The level was once rated by RobTop. However, after a user, generally believed to be Cyclic, tipped him off to a hard-to-reach secret way, the level was unrated. And as of 2021, it has been rated again.

The level is an extremely difficult remake of Clubstep. This level contains straight flying, very difficult orb spam, and heavy usage of the mirror portal, as well as a lengthy invisible block maze near the end. It is generally considered one of the easier silent levels and is thought to be possible in theory however, Sr. Guillester has managed to reach 45% on the level and Zobros has gone 52-100%.

## History

The level was published on April 1, 2014, suggesting to be an elaborate "April Fools Joke", and got rated by Robtop. After its publication, the level fell into controversy for its very hard difficulty, making the very first Demon to be at the first position in the early era of the *Geometry Dash* Demon List back in 2014 (surpassing Stereo Demoness) with only a few players able to get more than 10% (at the time, the world record was achieved by Crack who achieved 15%).

Eventually, the level lost its rating due to its secret way and got eliminated from the list because it was not beaten legitimately. Despite this, the level was still played by many players in an attempt to beat it: Zobros did it 52-100% on November 27, 2015, claiming to be an easy task and "not even hard" at the video of his run; Dark Sary raised the world record to 23% on May 30, 2015, and Riot became the first person to legitimately complete the first spam section on stream. Even with those runs, the level lost its popularity due to the creation of more popular impossible levels such as Silent Clubstep, Silent Circles, and Death Corridor.

On December 13, 2017, the player SrGuillester (a player who also beat "Silentfunk") did an unbelievable record of 45% in only seven minutes recorded. In early 2017, creator Superex created and verified an "unnerfed" version of Silent Club, changing the spam part by replacing it with a fairly easy straight fly section. This version got beaten by many players such as Sunix.

The unnerfed version by Black2PSfull got verified by Luqualizer only on October 29, 2020. He states that the level is extremely unbalanced since 0-43% is around Bloodbath difficulty, while 53%-100% is an "Insane Demon" difficulty and the spam sections carry all the difficulty, claimed to be top 20. He beat it in a 1.9 private server because Silent Club is "broken" on 2.1 and it took him roughly 15,000 attempts. He would later upload his version to the *Geometry Dash* servers with the orb mask bug fixed. However, if the *Low Detail Mode* option is checked, the original Silent Club with the bug will be activated.

## Gameplay

* **0-5%:** The level starts with a short, easy normal-speed cube section but it has a difficult orb spam section at the very beginning.
* **6-13%:** Then you are introduced to a tricky ship sequence, with straight flying and a lot of mirror portals, later we enter a timing-based ball part and then we go in a hard diagonal straight fly.
* **14-20%:** There is a mini cube part that requires timing and fast clicks followed by a pretty easy ball section.
* **21-28%:** After a pretty hard mini-UFO segment, there is a little straight fly section and then a hard cube timing part with two seemingly pixel-perfect jump and a perfectly timed blue orb.
* **29-34%:** There is a ball section with mirror portals and a lot of orb with some easy timings, then we go into a mini-ship section that must be straight fly, normal-size portal and mini-portal make this part a little tricky.
* **35-43%:** After a fairly easy xStep reminiscence section with a mini-ship, the player transitions into a tricky straight fly section.
* **44-52%:** The most popular part of the level, and also the hardest. Start with a well-timed spam section with the cube, when you must go to a down corridor into an upper corridor of the spam, next, there is a timed section full of orb-masking and a final spam section after a mirror portal. This is the part that makes the level near-impossible.
* **53-68%:** There is a pretty easy straight fly with a mini-ship, a very simple mini-UFO section, and an auto section that is considered the easiest part of the level.
* **69-81%:** After a tricky ball section there is a simple mini-UFO section full of gravity portals and a simple mini-ship sequence also full of gravity portal, both in a zig-zag corridor.
* **82-100%:** After a memory-based cube maze, then you have to skip the ship portal and hit the mini portal.
