Level 3999 serves as one of the only exits from the Backrooms back into reality, also known as the Frontrooms, and it is well-known for that reason.

Description
Level 3999 is a seemingly infinite arcade—the appearance and layout resembling most arcades present in The Frontrooms (Eating areas, Arcade Areas, etc.) However, the arcade machines contain games that require high-performance PCs or Nintendo devices to play, including Call Of Duty, Minecraft, Miitopia, Terraria, Mario Kart 8, Fortnite, and World Of Warcraft, among others. Like a typical arcade, the outside area represents a parking lot—cars, streetlights, and trees can be seen through the windows; however, the windows’ strength makes it impossible to enter that area.
The arcade machines are durable and enact relaxing effects on wanderers who play on them. To play a game, simply insert a coin—surprisingly, the machines can take any currency. As wanderers become invested in the game, any sanity loss is mitigated and the wanderer should feel normal within a few minutes. However, attempting to damage the machine, whether in a fit of rage or out of curiosity, will instantly cause the wanderer to faint on the spot. There is luckily no lasting brain damage; regardless, it is not recommended to hit, punch, or swing at the machines.
Level 3999 is one of the most famous Levels due to the familiar feeling of security, safety, and comfort. At the same time, the scarcity of other humans in this level may provoke feelings of anxiety and loneliness.
Occasionally, meteorites may rain down from the ceiling, with no known pattern. However, they do not appear to damage the level or any wanderers, so researchers have hypothesized that they are simply illusions created by the light structures.
To get to The Frontrooms, you need to walk north until you find bright sunlight which seems to look like it's from a sunset (some of the groups on this level will help you and guide you to sunlight). You then need to walk towards it and you should be in and you will get teleported to Level 0 and have to complete a random checklist of ten requests. These usually consist of going through a certain level or drinking how much almond water. These objectives are usually random and are on a giant spectrum, from minutes of time to do one to years. While doing the objective, you don't age but you may die. Once you have completed the checklist, go back to Level 3999 and go through the glass doors with the checklist, then you will end up in The Frontrooms, proving yourself and fulfilling life. People who have done this report themselves ascending towards a planet, then blacking out at their house. Once you complete the checklist, you can go to the level at any time to redeem the checklist and go to The Frontrooms.
Each time you exit from this level, (apart from the time you teleport to get the checklist), you have to do the list of random requests over again.
Colonies and Outposts
Backroom Colonists
The Backroom Colonists have an outpost that is around a 27 minute walk from the beginning point directly south, and at the base, they have set up a few cafes for people to relax, and an area where you can trade.
