Level 389

The floor of Level 389.

Level 389, also known as The Gaming Hall, is the 390th level of the Backrooms. It resides under the complete control of Entity 99.
Level 389 is a collection of infinite, ever-changing rooms that converge onto one central area colloquially known as "The Storage Room" — so-named for the large amount of games held within it. The Storage Room serves as the main part of the level in which wanderers are kept, and where the Game Master's games are hosted. It appears as the backstage of a large theater, with checkered flooring resembling a chessboard. It is populated with various industrial shelves, which are filled to the brim with different games. Materials from various types of games can be seen, such as sports equipment, board game pieces, and playing cards. At the far end of the room are two large black curtains with a TV setup and a stack of video games nearby. A catalog of specific games may be found on the Game Master's file.

At the opposite end of the Storage Room are various doors. The left and right wall each has one door, while the middle wall has six doors. The door to the left leads to a checkered bathroom that is rather plain in appearance — save for the crocodile in the bathtub. Above the bathtub is a sign which reads "Do Not Question The Crocodile". The door on the right leads to a kitchen decorated in pastel colors like those in a popular cooking game. It is filled with numerous utensils and cookware. The refrigerator does not usually have food, unless the Game Master says it does.

The six doors on the middle wall vary in decoration and paint, and are labeled with symbols. The first door is brown and plain, labeled with the symbol of a spy glass. The second door is pink and splattered in blood, labeled with the symbol of a jump rope and ball. The third door is grey and crossed off by caution tape, labeled with the symbol of baseball bats. The fourth door is red and covered in stickers, labeled with the symbol of balloons. The fifth door is black and affixed with a clipboard, labeled with the symbol of an upside-down chess piece. The sixth door is maroon and draped with curtains, labeled with the symbol of a deck of cards. These doors are locked, and thus the contents of the rooms that they lead to cannot be described.

Hello. What would you like to report?

I remember reading a file about a jester puppet entity, and I think I found new information about it. That’s pretty concerning. That entity isn’t supposed to leave its level, right?

Can you please provide more information about your discovery? The location, time, and a detailed description?

I was walking here in Level 1, and the time was around 2:30 pm according to my phone. I noticed a large poster on the wall, really bright and colorful. It was like an event poster, and it said something about a game night. I didn’t read it very clearly because I ran and hid behind a wall when I saw the entity drawn on it.

I assume that the entity depicted in the poster is Entity 99?

to <mandb@majorexplorergroup.com>

Yes. I remembered reading about how it was confined to its own level, so I thought the poster was some sort of prank. I went to take a picture of it, but then I saw the eyes on the drawing move, and they looked right at me. It was like it *knew*, like it sensed me. The picture on my screen went black and my camera stopped broke. It knew.

To clarify, you believe that Entity 99 was watching you through a poster of itself, and remotely tampered with your device?

re: Report <ym345@gmail.com>

to <mandb@majorexplorergroup.com>

Yes! I can still feel it staring at me. I'm looking at the poster from a distance right now, trying to read what it says. The text is a bit blurry from here but I can read some parts. “Wanna have a relaxing, fun time? Come to Level 38(?) to have a FUN game night! Free of charge!” There was a third number but I can’t make it out.

Please describe your immediate surroundings and we can dispatch a team to Level 1 to investigate.

I'm near the back of the garage. There's a fairly large puddle of water that's dripping from the pipes above, and about 3 crates stacked in the corner. The poster is attached to one of the pillars and I’m behind another pillar trying the hide from it. Shit, I just heard a loud noise hang on.

Please remain calm, we have operatives on their way.

# Entrances And Exits

## Entrances

* On many different levels, it is possible to find a checkered wooden door in nonsensical locations, leading directly to Level 389.
* Finding and interacting with a poster of the Game Master promoting a "game night" will also transport you to Level 389.

## Exits

* Fairly beating the Game Master in one of her games will send the wanderer to the level they came from.
* Receiving an exemption from the Game Master will allow one to leave without playing, and return to the level they entered from. So far, she is only known to have given it to children.
