Description
One of the first photos of this level
Level 490 resembles seemingly infinite school that consists of empty classrooms, bathrooms, and more rooms that typical school consists. The rooms are not numbered, and the level itself is not linear, so getting lost is easy. It is recommended to get a map of the region of the level, which could be traded with TBC (More info below).The approximate size of the level is 10 million square kilometers. In the classrooms there are many books, but most of them are completely blank. Those which aren´t must´ve bring there wanderers. In this level wanderers occasionally hear doors closing, but no one have successfully defined source of the sound. All windows on this level are safe but you can´t see through them. Windows´s glass is also unbreakable, so the glass can be picked up from the windows to made durable fortifications as it is doing by TBC. Outside of the school, there is regular grass, but upon stood by any entity (wanderers too), the entities will noclip through, teleporting them probably into the Void. Level 490 was discovered to public on 22nd April 2019, but first person who entered this level must have entered much earlier - approximately in 2008-2010.
Colonies and outposts
This level is kinda habitable, so some colonies and outposts exist here.
The Bolsheviks colony(TBC)
- Circa 1500 members
- Friendly, willing to trade
- Takes in wanderers
- Relatively big amount of food and weapons
- Allies of Socialist republic of the backrooms
- Mainly Russians
Vasilev´s rebels group
- 28 members
- Open to trade but doesn´t take in wanderers
- Led by Fedor Ivanovich Vasilev

There are some more minor groups and colonies too, but they are much smaller, consisting of 4-10 members.
Entities
On this level you can find regular entities: Hounds, Insanities(belongs to wanderers who went insane during exploration of this level) and Facelings(some dressed as janitors), which could be rarely seen. Many of these entities must´ve nocliped through entrances to this level (see entrances). Amount of entities on this level is little bit higher that in level 0.
Level-exclusive entity
This entity, confirmed on July 17 2021(until this date only hypothetical) kills and destroys entire colonies. No one alive hasn´t ever seen this entity, though it is supposed it is big black fast-moving creature as of unofficial sources. It isn´t known if this is the only one of its kind. On some places of this level you can find destroyed bases which is implied that this creature destroys these bases. Between those bases there might be M.E.G outpost too, but this is believed as hoax.
Entrances and exits
There is only one confirmed entrance to access this level, but there are much more exits.
