Level 187 is the 188th level of the Backrooms.

Survival Difficulty: Class Undetermined

Uninhabitable Conditions

Unknown Information

Undocumented Presence of Entities

Recovered image data of Level 187.

Description

The physical characteristics of Level 187 are as of yet unknown due to the level having a constant temperature of 0 Kelvin, also called Absolute Zero. Particles cease all movement at this theoretical temperature, so surviving in this level for any period of time is impossible. Due to this, explorations cannot be carried out and obtaining accurate image data has proven difficult thus far. The only recovered images depicting Level 187 are recovered from an experiment where live video equipment was entered into the level, immediately before it lost connection and ceased function. It is unknown how this temperature is reached in a natural environment, as 0 Kelvin is known as an unreachable temperature, even in a lab setting. From the recovered image data, it may be assumed that this level is an outdoor environment, resembling a tundra.

Colonies and Outposts

Due to the nature of this Level 187, creating a colony or outpost is impossible.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

Entering this Level 187 is strongly advised against at all costs due to its temperature and resultingly uninhabitable environment.

  • The door in Level 332 may open to this level on rare occasions.

Exits

As one cannot enter this level and survive for any period of time, any exits are and may remain unknown.

Level 187 Addendum - Kauer Research Base and Outpost - 7/27/██

Upon further investigation of Level 187, it appears that its temperature of 0 Kelvin is not actually constant. Research and measurements with temperature sensors conclude that the level's internal temperature of 0 Kelvin fluctuates to about 267 Kelvin, or about -5° C (22° F), for approximately 2 hours every 11 days. This discovery has opened many opportunities for future exploration of Level 187, the first of which has been scheduled for 8/3/██, approximately during the safe period of temperature. A research outpost shall be constructed over time in the level, while maintaining precaution of the 2-hour window.

Level 187 Exploration Log - Kauer Research Base and Outpost - 8/3/██

An exploration of Level 187 was scheduled for 8/3/██, aiming for the 2-hour period of safe temperature. The exploration was carried out by Field Agent Fleming and Researcher Lockwood. The pair entered the level at 10:23 A.M., shortly after the temperature fluctuation occurred. Cold protection gear was brought with the team, along with supplies to establish a location for an outpost. On entry, the physical characteristics of the level were able to be described in full. Level 187 resembles an arctic tundra, with various snow-covered mountains and frozen bodies of water strewn about. The team noted the strange lack of natural sounds, along with a lack of wind. However, this was to be expected, considering the level stays at a temperature of 0 Kelvin for about 286 hours before reaching higher temperatures, allowing nothing to live or exist during this time. Additionally, they noted a blue star in the sky, functioning as a sun. After approximately 13 minutes of the team searching for a viable location for a base, they happened upon a broken-down and weathered structure, resembling a small hut. It was unable to be properly dated, but it appeared as if it was created many years ago and left to the elements. Researcher Lockwood noted that the presence of this structure means that at one point, the level must not have had the property of fluctuating to absolute zero. After 22 minutes, the team found a viable location to begin construction of a research outpost. They posted a flag in the location and started to set basic guidelines for the building. The pair was ordered to exit the level around 1 hour and 43 minutes into their expedition. At this time in the exploration, the team noted that the blue star in the sky appeared to be slowly moving away. Conversely, the temperature in the level began to notably decrease. The team initially struggled to find a proper exit, but 1 hour and 52 minutes in, they managed to discover that entering the broken-down structure will transport one to their previous location outside Level 187. Field Agent Fleming collected several samples, but reported that he was unable to take any images, as photo equipment ceased function once inside the level. Further explorations to continue construction of the research outpost are yet to be scheduled. An updated description of Level 187 bearing these discoveries has been requested.
