Level 271, also known as "Technopolis" is a probably infinite tech store where many branded products, both from the Backrooms and recognisable from the Frontrooms can be found for sale. The brand "Technopolis", can be seen throughout the level in similar ways to how it is seen in regular tech stores in the Frontrooms, therefore the name of the level. Computer, and other products can be found for sale from times ranging from the 1980s to the present day, and from the lowest quality, rating, resolution, price and reputation, to the highest, which can also vary. Computer products, among others, can be found for sale laptops, desktops, gaming laptops and desktops, mobile phones, tablets, terminals, televisions, CDs, USBs, product keys and serial numbers of many operating systems and software (both from the Backrooms and the Frontrooms), microwaves, traditional telephones, desktop monitors, many video games recognisable from the Frontrooms, batteries, chargers, batteries, computer keyboards, headphones, hard drives, PC components, CRT screens, among others, and most any product that can be found in many tech stores in the Frontrooms. The sounds produced by electronic and computer devices can make you lose your sanity a bit, but not so much for turning you an Insanity, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Although these products have prices, you don't have to pay for them, and you can take them for free, or try them out and use them in the store itself. The level has an anomalous effect that causes new and recent products, and the latest technology and manufacture of the Frontrooms to randomly appear for sale. Operating systems, both known in the Frontrooms and belonging to the Backrooms can be commonly, and randomly, found in the products. Occasionally, there are areas where products can be found categorised by time, for example products from the years 1997-1999 in one area, or from the years 2007-2008 in another area. This level has a WiFi connection up to two times stronger than in Level 3, and the best thing is that this WiFi does not require a password. Occasionally, almond water and food can be commonly found in vending machines, which are quite common on this level, and do not require any coins or tickets to obtain. Occasionally elevators can be found that can lead to other floors on this level, but rarely can they lead to Level 11, Level 22, Level 394, Level 33 or The Elevator Shaft. Functional escalators can also be found that lead to floors above or below the level, or that lead to Level 22. The floors on this level are similar to each other, with minimal differences. Bathrooms, doors to storage rooms, leading to Level 271.1, and office doors, leading to Level 4, can also be found. Because this level has better internet than in Level 3, significant amounts of resources and supplies similar to Level 4, and Frontrooms operating systems that can be found, it is considered one of the only levels of the Backrooms where the Frontrooms can be easily communicated with, and with similar survival difficulty to Level 4.
The Reception
The reception can be found either near the entrance/exit of the level, or randomly within the level. This area of the level may contain one, or several docile Facelings under "The 11 Effect" in charge of the store, with clothes and outfits belonging to the store, and with the "Technopolis" branding on them. This area can be used to order products, or take them in for repair and maintenance if they present problems.
Entities
The most common entities that can be found throughout the level are docile adult and child Facelings under "The 11 Effect", which can be either store employees (adults only), or shoppers (children and adults). It is not recommended to try to harm them, attack them, kill them, steal from them, beat them, take things from them and take things from them without permission, as they may become hostile and you may be teleported to a cell in Level 107. Other entities, and unlikely to appear, but somewhat more in dark areas, and appearing somewhat more frequently than in Level 4, but not as much as in Levels 2 and 3, are Smilers, Hounds, Deathmoths, Skin-Stealers, Dullers, and Clumps. Koko can be found in some devices of this level, and is able to access them, and can be useful from time to time in guiding Wanderers, but is protected by various groups located on this level from fraudulent Wanderers (see the entity page for more information). Misglitches and Sub-Misglitches from Level 120, and Coders from Level 400 have also been seen in this level, but it has been determined that the chances of encountering any are minimal, yet care should be taken to escape these entities, as they are extremely hostile.
Colonies and Outposts
M.E.G. Computer Sellers Outpost (a.k.a Major Explorer Group)
100 members, 25 of which help Backrooms Robotics in this level, located 30 kilometres from an entrance/exit from Level 11 in an area with computers from the years 2016-2018, and near another area with computers from recent times, and was created to obtain resources and supplies from the level, both computer, technological and for survival. They will always help, assist and accept new Wanderers, and are always willing to trade. Also, because Koko is present in some devices on this level, it is protected and studied by the M.E.G., and other groups on this level. They can teach Wanderers about computers and computing, and how to use devices well, and will offer devices from the store to Wanderers, either to take with them or to use for a while.
Backroom Colonists Outpost
Backroom Colonists also use this level to obtain resources and supplies from the level, both computer, technological and survival. They are located 20 kilometres from an entrance/exit from Level 394, between an area with modern TVs, and an area with older ones. They are very friendly and will always help, assist and accept new Wanderers, and of course are always willing to trade. They help both M.E.G. and Backrooms Robotics on this level, and also help M.E.G. to protect and study Koko on this level.
Transport and Selling of Backrooms Robotics Products
Backrooms Robotics use this level to sell their products and inventions. They can be found around the warehouses leading to Level 271.1, some areas of the level and the entrances/exits of Level -183 bringing their products to sell on this level. In this work for Backrooms Robotics, 25 members of the M.E.G. Computer Sellers Outpost help them with their jobs. Their secrets should be regarded with respect, as they have been known to become violent at this level when their transports of their products to the store are interrupted, or smashed. They pose no threat to you as long as you are respectful and can consider them useful to others.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
The easiest way to access this level is by entering a tech store in Levels 11 or 394, breaking into a closed tech store in Level 33, finding functional escalators in Level 22 to go here, or opening the browser to the "www.technopolis.com" page in The End's computer to be teleported here. This level can also be accessed from The Elevator Shaft, by going through a door with the words "Store" on it in Level -183, Level 400 or Level 120, and going to the "Store" section in Level 256.
Exits
To exit, you can go back through the entrance/exit doors to return to Levels 11 or 394, go down escalators leading to a parking garage at the end to go, or return to Level 22, open windows that can be opened in the level walls that show a shopping mall on the other side, or a shop shutter to open to go, or return to Level 33, go through the door to the storage room to go, or return to Level 271.1, find the entrance to a tech display and demonstration centre from the store to go, or return to Level 256, go through a door that says "Server" to go, or return to Level 120, go through a door that says "Backrooms Robotics Headquarters" to go, or return to Level -183, go through the door to the offices to go to Level 4, go through the emergency exit door to go to Level 11.111111111111111, or to a alleyway in Level 394, go through a door that says "Coders" to go to, or return to Level 400, some devices, which can sometimes transport to Level 195 if you noclip, or when using them, or give errors, which noclip devices with errors present, using them with errors, or if they give any errors can transport one to Level 404, but using any device with errors, or if it gives any errors during use has a 0.1% chance of transporting; use the elevators which can rarely take you to Levels 11, 22, 33, 394 or The Elevator Shaft, the bathrooms, which if you are displeased by the state of any of them, you will have the opportunity to enter Level 189 by opening the next locked door you find, attempt to harm, attack, kill, steal, hit, take and take things from Facelings without permission, which is not recommended, as you will be teleported to a cell in Level 107 if you do so, go through vents and vents, which lead to Levels 0, 1 and 4, or noclip pipes in the ceiling, or sometimes in the walls, which lead to Level 2, although this is not recommended on the ceiling as it can result in serious fall injuries when attempting to do so. It is recommended to do this on the walls.
