Level 1 is the second level of the Backrooms. It is roughly the same as Level 0, with only a few minor differences.
Contents
Description
Level 1 varies from person to person. Some report to have seen gigantic "biomes" of terrain, while others have reported having seen huge expanses of grimy concrete filled with a low-flying fog. Some have even reported dark rooms made from blue concrete and covered in pipes. It seems that Level 1 is either completely random, or it appears different from person to person.
However, the most common "theme" in Level 1 is similar to the mono-yellow design of Level 0. The key differences are concrete walls instead of wallpaper, tile floors instead of carpet, and dimmer fluorescent lights. Beings typically lurk at or above Level 1. Known beings on Level 1 include Dullers, adult Facelings, Hounds, Skin-Stealers, and Scratchers.
At any point, there's a chance the lights will begin to flicker on and off. Eventually the lights will turn off for minutes or hours at a time. While the lights are off, this level becomes very dangerous, so bring a light source if you're exploring.
Colonies
There are currently 8 known colonies and outposts in Level 1. It should be noted that attempting to meet up with these colonies/outposts will prove extremely difficult, as the Backrooms stretch out for millions of miles.

Leaving Level 1
You can leave Level 1 by simply continuing to explore the Backrooms. Level 1 usually leads to Level 2 or back to Level 0. Breaking cracked floors will lead you to a room with a cracked floor in Level 0 where you can then go to Level 27.
Entering Level 1
You can enter Level 1 by spending 4 days in Level 0. It is also possible, but rare, to find a fire escape in Level 0 that leads to Level 1. Like other levels, it can be reached randomly with stairs, elevators, and hallways. It is also possible for one to spawn here when first no-clipping into the Backrooms.
