Level 290
Cinderbrick Corridors
Level 290 is the 291st level of the backrooms.
Level 290 appears as a brick maze, with a clean (290-2) and dirty (290-1) part, each with a couple of lights scattered about, a gray floor and ceiling.
it is EXTREMELY difficult to noclip in Level 290, and even if you do, you fall into the beginning of the level, so dont try it.
290-1
Survival Difficulty: Class 4
Sub-safe
Unsecure
High Entity Count
In this stage, there is almond water as little puddles occasionally, you can drink out of these, but they are incredibly dirty, so only do it if you are on the brink of insanity, the most common entity here (and only) are Lighters, which are censored so your eyes dont burn. other things here are garbage bins, which when opened are usually just a normal garbage bin, however on rare occasions contain bombs which explode when opened, they can also take you to Level 9007199254740992 if jumped in, but this has a 0.0000005% chance of happening.
this part is estimated to be about 100 million square miles.

Survival Difficulty: Class 3
Unsafe
Unsecure
Medium Entity Count
if you find doors, do NOT use them, they contain Smilers, and there is a 0.5% chance it will teleport you to The Smiling Room, do not hope to use this as an escape however, a recorded 49 people exited like this and all of them fell asleep when they entered due to an unknown effect, only 18 being retrieved, who caught The Disease,
Hounds can be found here too, but are very uncommon.
Emergency Boxes are very rare, only appearing in one in every 5000000 walls, when opened they contain a special axe, as it is the only thing that can break through the brick walls, when doing so, you get transported to the outside of a beginning house in Level 251, you cannot re-enter it as looking back shows a hallway to Level -1. Garbage bins appear in cleaner regions more rarely, but can be found.
this part is estimated to be about 350 million square miles.
Colonies and Outposts
No big groups have formed, (or they died due to explosive garbage bins) but there are groups of 3-7 people that can be found if you wander enough.
