Escaping The Backrooms

How do you do it, and is it worth it?


Universal Exits

The Void Due to the way the Backrooms are arranged against the Frontrooms, traversing the EXTERIOR Void in any direction far enough would take a wanderer to the Frontrooms. However, since the void is infinite, conventional vehicles will simply get nowhere and leave wanderers stranded. In order to traverse the void, artificial quantum tunneling must be done. However, the only documented attempt was in Level REDACTED and it failed. It is unknown if this exit is practically possible, but it is theoretically possible.

3999 It is a common point of contention on what exactly must be done to reach Level 3999, or what must be done to escape using it, but an overwhelming majority agrees that there is an exit somewhere there. 3998 has been confirmed as an exit to 3999, however it itself has no guaranteed entry point. Some believe that 3999's sublevels have the key to reality. Some even believe that Level 3999 is not an exit at all, but an elaborate ruse created by Partygoers or other entities of similar malevolence as a trap. Whether or not any of these theories are true, none have returned from 3999 but many have reported seeing an escape.

9223372036854775807 How one reaches this level is unknown. The theory that there's an exit inside of it was only found by an anonymous wanderer who livestreamed their experience in this level, managed to defy odds to climb the staircase, and found a bright light. They made noise, however, and immediately were killed. It is thought that the light is an exit to reality. No manned missions have been sent to 9223372036854775807, but due to it's connection with Heaven (aka. The 9223372036854775807 Void), drones have been able to be sent there. The light has since been confirmed by multiple drone operators, however the light seems to reject the drones.


General Knowledge

What is known about the other exits to the Backrooms is that they are not consistent. However, wanderers who found exits at any point and remained in the Backrooms for any reason were polled on what happened leading up to their finding of an exit. They all shared the following characteristics:

  • Each had fully accepted the Backrooms as their home, and not the Frontrooms at that point in time
  • Each had tied up loose ends in their life before finding the exit
  • Each was on a journey of exploration for at least 6 years before finding the exit
  • Each had found levels that gave them a heavy sense of deja vu or levels that directly resembled their life in the Frontrooms
  • None took the same path, and all of them had talked about levels which nobody else has ever / is able to find.

Interviewing portions of people who had each of these characteristics after the sample group of those who had left the Backrooms (At any point instead of before they found an exit), only .056% of those interviewed had ever been presented with an exit.

It is thought that these criteria are only portions of what it takes to escape the Backrooms, or it is entirely up to chance. What is known, however, is that according to the criteria we do know none who go looking for an exit will happen upon one.


Exceptions

A few exceptions to these criteria have been found. Some have reported finding exits in discovered levels where there are none, some have found their own exits without meeting the criteria, and some have traced their steps back and still found the level there. The causes of these exceptions remain unknown.
