Level 11是後室的第12層，其外觀表現為一個近乎無限大小的城市。

描述

Level 11的外觀表現為一個無邊無際的城市，與前室中的許多城市相似。Level 11的建築包括摩天大樓、辦公樓、酒店、雜貨店、服裝店、停車場、醫院、教堂、紀念館等。這些建築的內部有時會出現異常，許多建築空無一人，儘管它們大多都配備了家具。在Level 11的建築中經常可以看到無面者在工作，以及在住宅中生活。這些無面者比其他層級的無面者要友好得多，因此，這該一現象被命名為「11號效應」。這一層的獵犬表現出與普通狗相似的行為，也被認為受到了「11號效應」的影響。除了家具，這些建築通常和前室中的建築一樣髒，儘管有些建築總是幾乎完全乾淨。 該層級的建築擁有多種異常特性，比如窗戶只顯示牆壁，門通向離地面數十米高的地方，卻沒有陽台或類似結構，樓梯通向無路可去的地方，建築能自我清潔，電梯內部沒有任何按鈕，門通向黑匣子，電梯不通往建築物的正確樓層，電梯通向牆壁，電梯不動，門在房間中央，窗戶和家具漂浮，重力為0的空間，等等。雖然建築能自我清潔可以用微生物分解來解釋，但更有可能它們是通過無法理解的方式清潔的，因為從未發現過能夠完全清潔建築的微生物。

雖然該層級上的結構大多雜亂無章，但每隔約100公里就會有一座發電廠，第一座發電廠位於該層中心周圍一個80公里乘80公里方塊的角落。這些發電廠似乎並未為該層提供多少電力，儘管它們具有高放射性。其中最具放射性的發電廠距離約500公里。它對周圍環境的影響如此之大，以至於現在被視為一個單獨的層級。發電廠80公里範圍內的任何地方都被認為是「毀滅禁區」的一部分。發電廠幾乎一直處於M.E.G.(The M.E.G.)的持續監視之下，以確保它們不會發生任何不良情況。 這座城市的街道幾乎總是空無一人。然而，據觀察，街道中間有雙黃線，還有人行道和各種路牌（大部分是英文的，不過層級中也有西班牙語的路牌）。儘管街道幾乎空無一人，但有時也能看到停在路邊的汽車。這些汽車大多破舊不堪，但也有一些狀況良好，被用作交通工具。這些汽車並非異常，可以修復。Level 11的大多數汽車來自其他層級。城市街道有一些異常特徵，比如部分路段被毀壞，部分路段穿入建築物等等。人行道也有類似的情況，有時會切入建築物的側面，突然中斷，甚至直衝雲霄。

該層級的街燈大多正常。雖然路燈幾乎總是熄滅的，但有時也會亮着，或者非常罕見地持續閃爍。這種閃爍的頻率通常不是恆定的，儘管有時會遵循某種規律，但這種情況非常少見。

Level 11自然資源豐富。杏仁水幾乎隨處可見，從自動售貨機、隨處可見的水瓶、舊車裡、商店裡、冰箱裡，到街頭小販的售賣。該層級的杏仁水每隔幾小時就會重新補貨。這使得Level 11在一點上與大多數其他後室層級截然不同：杏仁水幾乎毫無價值，通常會被出口用於交換更奇特的食物和飲料。幸運牛奶在Level 11也很常見，被用於各種食譜中，被視為美味佳餚。許多Level 11的居民將幸運之奶作為主要飲料。

儘管Wi-Fi通常不被視為一種自然資源，但在第Level 11中，Wi-Fi的覆蓋數量卻相當多。大多數Wi-Fi網絡的名稱由12個字符組成，包含隨機字母，偶爾也有數字。例如，在第11層的中心區域有3個網絡：一個名為「KmZNuoPLeMeA」，一個名為「MNBxZyDuALZr」，還有一個名為「fJmJsAILmeD1」。如果有網絡密碼，通常就是網絡名稱。例如，「MNBxZyDuALZr」和「fJmJsAILmeD1」沒有密碼，而「KmZNuoPLeMeA」的密碼就是網絡名稱。網絡的速度和安全性也各不相同。雖然據報道，第11層中心區域的所有網絡通常都「很快」，但越往外走，一些網絡的速度就越慢，故障也越多。你離中心區域越遠，就越有可能找到速度較慢的網絡。網絡故障多種多樣，從第一次嘗試連接失敗到最終跳轉到錯誤的網站。此外，你離中心區域越遠，不僅越有可能找到故障網絡，而且越遠的網絡往往故障越多。 Level 11的許多網絡並不安全。與訪問速度相似，靠近中心的網絡遠比遠離中心的網絡安全。網絡安全漏洞通常很嚴重，包括能夠遠程查看網絡中某人的搜索歷史和下載內容、竊取其文件、訪問其攝像頭以及遠程安裝惡意軟件。雖然其中大多數操作只能由連接到網絡的其他人完成，但其他操作（通常是由那些遠離中心的人執行的操作）則可以被任何人查看。不安全的網絡與速度慢且故障頻發的網絡之間似乎沒有任何關聯。由於存在非常嚴重的安全漏洞，M.E.G.建議，距離中心100公里以上的網絡應儘量少連接，而距離中心250公里以上的網絡則根本不應連接。對於高級M.E.G.成員來說，這是一項非常嚴格的措施，因為許多人因連接到這些網絡而被嚴重降級，甚至被踢出M.E.G.。然而，M.E.G.在這些不安全區域構建了網絡，將數據中繼回中心的網絡，因此遠離中心的人可以使用Wi-Fi。儘管如此，這些網絡並不常見，並且通常設有密碼保護，密碼不為M.E.G.高層或所述公寓的居民所知。在如此遙遠的區域，有些網絡的密碼存儲在公共數據庫中，供M.E.G.的註冊會員查看，儘管這種情況更為罕見。

雖然該層級在最初被發現時幾乎空無一人，但如今它已蛻變為人口最多的量子穩定層，若將無面者計算在內，人口數量超過1,000,000。如今的該層級與最初被發現時相比已截然不同。

事件和現象

儘管Level 11是一個非常安全的層級，但它與後室中的大多數層級一樣，也並非不存在異常現象。儘管有些人認為這些事件在某種程度上與Level 92上頻繁發生的事件有關，但這一觀點存在廣泛爭議。

「滾車」事件

「滾車」事件是11層最常見的現象，幾乎每次流浪者走進街道都會發生。這種事件中，一輛沒有任何可辨識品牌或型號的汽車會隨機滾到街上，然後停下。這些汽車通常是空的，但有時會載着異常的無面者，它們會在汽車停下後立刻下車，並在有人不再看它們時消失。這些無面者直線行走，無法與之互動，如果遇到障礙物，它們會撞到牆上或絆倒。如果流浪者與它們發生物理接觸，手臂會直接穿過它們，仿佛碰到空氣一樣。 這些車的來源尚不清楚，因為從未有人親眼目睹過它們的出現。然而，人們普遍認為它們是隨機出現的，有時出現在裡面的無面者也有着類似的起源。不過，這些車從不會出現在紅燈前，也不會在流浪者不在它們前方時出現。這導致一些人認為這些車是後室本身為了「懲罰」亂穿馬路者而創造的。這一觀點在後室的科學界引起了一些關注，儘管尚未被廣泛接受。 這些汽車過去曾導致一些人受傷甚至死亡。雖然大多數死亡事故的受害者是流浪老人或無面者，但也有一些年輕人因站得離汽車太近而喪生。這促使M.E.G.發布了關於在Level 11中禁止亂穿馬路的警告，並發布通知要求流浪者至少要等到綠燈亮起時再穿越馬路。如果無法做到這一點，他們建議儘快穿越馬路。

暗斑

暗斑是11級區域中第二常見的事件，僅次於「滾母汽車」事件。當Level 11的某個區域無人觀看時，就會發生暗斑事件，而且，該區域很少會完全變黑數分鐘。目前尚不清楚為什麼會發生這種情況，儘管黑色區域並不危險，也不會吸引笑魘。這些暗斑通常很小，有記錄以來最大的暗斑是一個面積約225平方米的正方形。這些事件使得一些人認為後室是一個模擬現實或電子遊戲，而暗斑的出現則是後室的代碼故障「故障」。然而，由於後室的異常特性，大多數人認為這些事件僅僅是巧合。

Screeching

在Level 11中，最罕見的事件之一是，偶爾會有一個隨機流浪者發出「尖嘯」聲，足以震聾附近的流浪者和無面者。這種聲音會持續，直到發出聲音的遊蕩者因此而爆炸。根據M.E.G.的說法，這種事件「大約每15年發生一次」。然而，這一說法並未得到普遍認同。反M.E.G.組織的科學家表示，這種事件至少每年都會發生，而M.E.G.只統計「已驗證」的事件，不包括「未驗證」的事件。他們這樣做的原因據說是為了鼓勵人們移民到Level 11，因為M.E.G.對Level 11的人口有着嚴格的控制。即使是不隸屬於M.E.G.的組織，也普遍認為這是一種「陰謀論」或「反M.E.G.宣傳」，因此，這種說法並不被廣泛接受。這也是因為M.E.G.對Level 11的嚴格控制，使得反M.E.G.組織無法在那裡正確收集情報。

其他組織，主要是小型的親M.E.G.組織，聲稱這些事件最多每世紀發生一次，而M.E.G.一貫將誤報作為實際事件進行報告。反M.E.G.團體顯然聲稱這些數字是編造的，甚至對M.E.G.持中立態度的組織也表示，提出這些說法的人只是為了安撫M.E.G.，以便獲得他們的援助。主要的親M.E.G.組織，如B.M.T.G.，雖然未發表任何評論，但同意M.E.G.「大約每15年一次」的說法。M.E.G.本身也未公開評論這些較小團體的說法。

著名地標

由於Level 11已有長時間的人類居住且人口眾多，因此除了基地外，該區域還有許多著名的地標建築。

由流浪者建造的地標建築

後室博物館

後室博物館的建造始於1834年，竣工於1856年。該建築由「後室殖民者」承建，過去和現在一直用於存放各種重要的相片、文物和畫作。該建築風格與Level 0相似，面積恰好為一百萬平方米。高約300米。人們普遍認為，這座博物館是現代技術的奇蹟。

與其他博物館不同，後室博物館不接受法定貨幣支付，因為The M.E.G.沒有官方貨幣。相反，進入該建築需要你向The M.E.G.負債，並需應The M.E.G.的要求提交一件物品。有時，這筆費用會在入場時支付，尤其是當The M.E.G.正在進行一個重大項目時。

展覽

Level 0 最為臭名昭著的一張圖像，存放於後室博物館。

博物館展品豐富多樣，包括諸如Level 0的著名照片、Level 3的首張照片等照片，以及最著名的一張Level 2中流浪者逃離無面者的照片，該照片在大樓大廳的屋頂上以極佳的細節展示。這裡還陳列着來自各個層級的畫作。其中許多畫作出自藝術家，儘管其他藝術家也有作品在此展出，且許多在前室中頗有名氣，但也有僅在後室中出名的藝術家的作品。最後，還有幾個後室層級的模型，儘管缺少實體。這是迄今為止最著名的展品，占據了整個建築的90%。

History and construction

In the early 1830s, many high-ranking officials of The Backrooms Colonists began to draft a plan for a large monument, which they said would show the 「glory」 and 「artistic pride」 of the group. It was approved during the 1834 Congress of The Backrooms Colonists. Although the Congress thought it would not be finished until the mid-1900s, many officials poured their personal fortunes into it. As well, extraction technologies improved during this time, allowing for more cement to be gathered. In the end, the museum being finished only by 1856 was a major propaganda victory for The Backrooms Colonists, demoralizing many enemy groups.

Since construction, the building has not changed much, aside from occasional repairs and The M.E.G. taking over management when The Backrooms Colonists merged into them. The building almost sustained severe damage near the end of The M.E.G.'s war with The Mountain Man Coalition, although a desperate defence by many citizens of Level 11 prevented it from being damaged. The building was one of the major targets for The Mountain Man Coalition after entering Level 11, with some saying it was right behind The M.E.G.'s headquarters in importance. This was likely due to the value the building had to The M.E.G., as well as the fact that the building was a symbol of The M.E.G.'s supposed architectural expertise.

As of 2025, the museum has barely changed since its construction. The museum attracts thousands of visitors every day, and is one of the largest contributors to The M.E.G.'s fortune. Although several proposals have been made to 「modernize」 the architecture, all have been emphatically rejected.

Landmarks not built by wanderers

Landmarks that are clones of landmarks in The Frontrooms

Level 11 is notable in that many landmarks within the level are replicas of real places within The Frontrooms. Many of these landmarks are anomalous or otherwise imperfect clones, however. Landmarks with anomalous properties or landmarks that are historically important will have their own section.

Upside Down St. Louis Arch

The Upside Down St. Louis Arch (stylized as 「ɥɔɹⱯ sᴉnoꓶ ·ʇS'」) is a major tourist attraction, as it is located only around 12 kilometres from Level 11's centre in an open field. Despite being called 「upside down」, the arch is actually flipped 173° degrees compared to the version of the St. Louis Arch in The Frontrooms, as well as being around three times as big. To keep the landmark from being obstructed, The M.E.G. set up an exclusion zone of 500 metres around it. The only thing allowed within this exclusion zone is grass and two roads, one travelling north to south and one east to west. Although this 「exclusion zone」 was an unwritten agreement going back to the days of The Backrooms Colonists, it was officially defined in 1928. The building was completely undamaged in the war between The M.E.G. and The Mountain Man Coalition, which surprises many since it is so close to Level 11's centre.

The building attracted major attention in 1954 when some M.E.G. scientists reported that the structure was 「beginning to develop a gravitational pull」. The M.E.G. proceeded to close the monument's surroundings without explanation to investigate. The M.E.G. noticed that the monument had a 「weak gravitational pull」, with it being able to attract a baseball from 10 metres away over the course of a few hours, even if the baseball was travelling uphill. However, the gravitational pull began to weaken in mid-1955, and returned to expected levels in early 1957, leading to the monument's sudden reopening. Ever since this incident, the monument's gravity has been 「pulsing」 with a cycle of around 4 years, similar to pulsations of the star Betelgeuse. It is unknown what causes this, and it is unknown what this means for the monument and Level 11 in general.

Floating Golden Gate Bridge

The Floating Golden Gate Bridge (stylized as 「ᴳᵒˡᵈᵉⁿ ᴳᵃᵗᵉ ᴮʳᶦᵈᵍᵉ」) is an anomaly in Level 11. It is also a new discovery, having only been discovered in 2007. The bridge is over 4 million kilometres away from the centre of Level 11, and those who discovered it took almost 10 years in a car travelling non-stop at slightly under 100 kilometres per hour. The trip was made by self-proclaimed 「lunatics」 Qasim Qamar and Paulo Ngonda. Both were close friends in high school, and unexpectedly noclipped into The Backrooms at the ages of 14 and 13, respectively. Despite being very young, they quickly managed to make it to Level 11. When they were both 15, they found an anomalous car that had no fuel tank and was able to travel forever, and also had autopilot. The two knew very little about The Backrooms, and as such, decided to take the car to the centre of the level, and make it drive in a straight line for as long as possible. They hoped to find something interesting or just to see how long the level went on for. It is unknown when exactly they left the centre of Level 11, although most believe it to be in late 1996 or early 1997.

For the first few years of the expedition, the two took no notes on the surroundings, although wrote a variety of short stories on paper. They sometimes thought about turning around, although decided that they had gone too far to turn around by this point. To this day, it is unknown how they didn't succumb to insanitation, although it is likely that a gas released by microorganisms in the car itself prevented the insanitation process.

At an unknown date, the two reached a floating version of the Golden Gate Bridge. Upon reaching it, they decided to write a report involving the landmark, as well as stay in the immediate region for a few months while scouting it as well. There are two reports available, one written not long after their arrival, and one written just before they left. For the reports below, important parts will be written in blue text.

Report 1

Q. Qamar

P. Ngonda

I'm not even sure of the date. Although I do not know much of The Backrooms, this is one of the most gargantuan things I have ever seen.

I grew up in Long Island to a middle-class family, after being born on October 20th, 1981. Both my mother, Fatma and my father, Salwa, worked at an office in New York, and had to commute there every day to work. They usually hired people to take care of me. I wasn't a bad student in elementary school, and I ended up with many friends. However, none of them felt like… me.

Paulo's story is completely different. He was born in Luanda, Angola. His father, João, was a politician and general loyal to the MPLA. His mother, Cristina, was the complete opposite. Cristina was a Portuguese immigrant to Angola, and, although she was from a rich family, her dad died in the Portuguese Colonial War and her mother committed suicide not long after. This left her homeless at the age of 11, and she wandered around Angola for more than a decade afterward.

The way they met is by far the strangest part of his life. Shortly after the end of the Portuguese Colonial War, João found Cristina in an alleyway in Luanda. Despite Cristina being extremely poor, malnourished, dirty, and unclean, João fell in love with her when he first saw her. Although Cristina was reluctant at first, since João was much older than her, she eventually caved in after becoming aware of João's political connections. The two got married shortly afterward, and Paulo was born on December 11th, 1981.

Although the two got along at first, despite the ongoing civil war, their relationship rapidly decayed after Paulo's birth. João was very abusive towards Cristina, and her and Paulo sneaked on to a ship travelling to New York in 1989. They brought nothing other than their clothes. After this, they wandered New York for the next few months. However, in a fashion very similar to Cristina's first marriage, a man found her on the pavement, and offered to take her to his house. Cristina wanted to refuse, although she thought this might being Paulo's only chance at a normal life, so she reluctantly accepted. The two got married in late 1990, and the now 9-year-old Paulo started attending my elementary school in September. This second marriage was much more successful than the first, and Paulo often said that his 「new father」, Joseph, was very kind to both Cristina and him. As well, Cristina was finally able to secure a job at a local supermarket, while Joseph, his father, worked as a lawyer.

Despite his lack of education, Paulo was extremely intelligent. By the time I first saw him in September, he could barely speak English, while his comprehension of English was at a near-native level by February. As well, he got average grades in many other subjects by summer 1991, and had an amazing work ethic from day 1.

Paulo didn't have many friends in his first few months at school, both due to his upbringing and the fact that his comprehension of English was very poor. However, in late January 1991, I approached him. He was very shy and awkward at first, although quickly warmed up, and became one of my best friends by the end of the year. From this point onward, we spent a lot of time together, from eating together, playing games together, and even doing work together. He also taught me a small amount of Portuguese, which was funny because I still have no idea how to speak it. Throughout middle school, we also got into frequent trouble. Although many other kids tended to get in trouble as well, we were especially troublesome. From harmless pranks such as ding-dong ditching to outright theft, we did it all. We were lunatics. Almost everyone looked up to us.

Our life got flipped around in late 1995, when we suddenly noticed a random set of stairs appearing in the middle of our high school. Nobody was looking, so we decided to run up them… Big mistake. We tripped, and got trapped in The Backrooms. As Level 0 separates wanderers, I was no longer with Paulo, and he was no longer with me. Paulo was such a good friend of mine that I started crying. This was one of the first times I had ever cried. Paulo told me he cried too. After a few hours of moping around and trying to hold back tears, I eventually noclipped into Level 1 by accident. I appeared right next to Paulo, and I soon came to the realization that I was extremely dehydrated.

As soon as I saw Paulo again, I felt as if I was revitalized. I was no longer crying, and I no longer had a desire to mope around. For him, it only took a few minutes to noclip out of Level 0 and come to his senses. Not long after he escaped, he found a man wearing a white shirt with 「M.E.G.」 written on it, who gave him a brief guide on how to survive in Level 1. Although we now know this was merely an official of The M.E.G., Paulo thought he looked suspicious, and was hesitant to believe him. However, Paulo decided to risk it and trust him. He picked up a bottle of almond water from a crate, and immediately drank it. Although he was prepared for the worst, the almond water made him feel energized, and took away a large part of his stress. After this, he folded a shirt he found in another crate and used it to carry more bottles of almond water. By the time I noclipped in, he had nearly 10 bottles.

We soon decided that the only way to live in this reality was to do exactly what we did at home: be lunatics. We had little love for 「safe」 levels such as Level 1 or Level 11, we chose the dangerous ones. As a result, we soon entered Level 2, and killed almost every entity we found. We eventually got bored by Level 2, so we decided to go to Level 3. Then Level 6. Then Level 8. Perhaps uncoincidentally, we finally got defeated in Level 9, after swarms of facelings surrounded a house we were resting in. They really are aggressive towards anyone who hurts other facelings. I don't really know how long we were in there, but an M.E.G. official eventually stepped in and saved us. We were soon taken to Level 11, which both of us thought was quite boring. Although the shops and restaurants there were nice, the level just felt too… empty.

One day, we made a discovery that would change our lives forever. In an old parking garage, we found an extremely strange car. A car with no model. A car with no engine. A car that probably shouldn't have even worked. In the end, we were lunatics. We decided to attempt to drive the car, and quickly found that someone can control it with thoughts alone. As we were lunatics, we decided to take the car back to our apartment, grab some essential items, and leave. We didn't even think about the car possibly running out of gas. As soon as we got to our apartment, we took some clothes, paper, and writing utensils, put the car in autopilot mode, and left before an M.E.G. agent realized what we were doing and tried to stop us. We assumed we would just find almond water along the way.

I don't know how long the drive was exactly, but it felt like it took literal years. Actual years. We didn't even know what our goal was, just that it was 「something notable or interesting」. We could have been driving for a lifetime. If there was anything good going for us, it was that the car didn't seem to run out of gas. Unfortunately, it was extremely loud and couldn't break 100 kilometers per hour. The sun constantly beating down on us made us rarely sleep. These were the worst years of my life, and probably Paulo's too. We thought about turning around multiple times, but eventually decided against it. We were so far, how long until we see something exciting? Unfortunately, that was a while.

The trip made us reconsider our lives a little. We almost decided to stop making short-sighted decisions, stop doing crazy things like this, stop being… lunatics. However, that was just who we were. We could not change. We must go onwards. When we weren't talking, sleeping, or eating, we were writing. Since we forgot to bring any electronic device to allow for communication in other parts of The Backrooms, writing was pretty much the only activity we could do. It was fun. We did it before. Since we were only high schoolers, most of the writings were terrible, but it was still enjoyable for us.

Eventually, after what felt like years of driving and probably was, we saw a large red structure in the distance. I forced my foot onto the gas pedal, but the car didn't go any faster. This was the 「interesting」 or 「exciting」 thing we were looking for! The end was in sight, just a few more hours!

As soon as we got there, we made plans on what to do next. We decided to stay here for a few weeks and scout the surroundings, seeing if this structure has any strange effects on its surroundings. Maybe even climb to it? Probably not.

Now, an actual description. This 「thing」 resembles the Golden Gate Bridge, but it's… huge. Like, gigantic. I can't even see the other side, despite the lack of fog. It's also floating above the ground by… I'd say 1000 feet. This is strange, as it's supposed to be a bridge. The area below it is a gigantic void that has no end in sight. We may be lunatics, but neither of us is going to jump in there. That's all we know, and the structure doesn't seem to have any effects on its surroundings, aside from the usual anomalies that occur far from the center of Level 11. After staying here for a few weeks and collecting data, we plan to move on and keep going, to see what other strange structures Level 11 has. Before we leave, we'll write a second report detailing our findings.

We also wrote this biography in case we are lost forever, and nobody finds us. We hope this biography reaches someone if we don't. We will not be forgotten!

Report 2

Q. Qamar

P. Ngonda

So… Where the hell do I start?

I guess I'll start with measurements. As I said previously, this thing is massive. It took months to gather enough rocks and junk to get up there, but we eventually managed to reach it. Counting the rocks, it turns out it was even bigger than we thought. We didn't have tools to measure the exact height (Paulo tried to use a meter stick but fell and got pretty badly injured), but it was at least 2500 feet, probably closer to 3000. We also measured the dimensions. Although we hesitated at first, we eventually decided to, as we had spent so long just getting up here and could literally spend the rest of our lives here if we wanted to. The width itself was… astonishing. I'm not sure how exactly to convert meters to miles, but it was at least a mile wide. The sidewalk itself is ~5 meters wide, which is about 17 feet, and wide enough for a regular car to fit in it. The length was absurd. It was over 100 miles long. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

The environment was mostly normal, other than the anomalies that occur this far away from Level 11's center. But, when we were measuring the bridge, we felt… odd. And that's to put it lightly. Every single second, we felt more like leaving and turning around. This wasn't us. We should have gotten more confident the more we got done, but, we just… didn't. We got more and more anxious. When the few months were over, and we returned to our car, we were not the same. We decided to turn around and return to Level 11's center. At the very least, we found something of note. Despite turning around, we still felt a feeling of regret. However, I don't think I could have brought myself to have gone further. It's hard to explain.

Analysis

The first report, although longer, contains less useful information and is mostly an autobiography. Misplaced, anomalous stairs in empty locations (such as a high school at night) are one of the most common ways for people to enter The Backrooms. Many cars in Level 11 are known to be anomalous, but the anomaly they experienced was very rare. However, there are records of it happening before. Prior to this incident, there were 7 records of cars acting this way, and there have been 2 since this incident. Since this is one of the more harmless anomalies that occur with cars in Level 11, they are often dumped in old parking garages and are marked to avoid duplicate reports, as this is a rare event. Due to the state of the car, it is possible that it got into an accident some time before the event, and the marking was scratched off in the accident.

Them escaping their apartment was very lucky. The security guard that should've been watching them was at a café across the street drinking tea. As well, the M.E.G. staff member that was supposed to man the security cameras at Level 11's centre was, although present, had recently woken up, and did not notice the car speeding and being badly damaged until much later. When he remembered properly, he had decided it was a non-issue since it was too late anyway.

The bridge's existence raises many questions. Although Level 11 is known to contain a variety of landmarks from The Frontrooms, the bridge seems out of place even among Level 11's anomalous landmarks. Although The M.E.G. officially says that the bridge is like almost every other Frontrooms landmark spoof in Level 11, other, more extreme theories have risen. Some say that the bridge is a 「glitch」, and was meant to be a part of a different level or was meant to appear differently. Some have extended this theory into saying that The Backrooms are a simulation or game, and that the bridge was a 「glitch」 in the game's code. The M.E.G. has been rumoured to be trying many methods towards silencing these rumors, although they have denied these accusations.

The second report is mostly just measurements. Besides the bridge not being proportional to the Golden Gate Bridge in The Frontrooms, this part of the report contains little 「hidden information」. However, the second paragraph makes it seem that The Backrooms itself doesn't want people to go there, or that it doesn't want people to go beyond. Whether there was something The Backrooms didn't want wanderers to see, if The Backrooms wanted to protect wanderers from danger, or merely did this to torture wanderers is unclear. To this day, this is widely seen is the farthest anyone has ever gone from Level 11's centre. There are no other reports of people experiencing the feeling of unease far from Level 11's centre or people encountering a similar bridge, so it is also unclear if the feeling of unease is caused by the bridge or by the distance from Level 11's centre.

Less notable landmarks

Fake Empire State Building

The Fake Empire State Building is a nigh-perfect replica of the Empire State Building in The Frontrooms. Although it appears normal on the outside, it is almost impossible to travel within the building, as almost every spot within the building will noclip any wanderer who touches it. There are many levels a wanderer can be sent to, such as Level 0, Level 4, and Level 81. It is located about 150 kilometres from Level 11's centre, and was first reported on by an M.E.G. patrol in late 1930, who described the building as 「under construction」. The building was not given much attention, although another patrol in 1932 reported a similar building, but finished. This patrol also discovered the unstable nature of the building, as 3 out of the 7 members of the patrol noclipped while in the building. Out of the three who noclipped, one was recovered within hours on Level 4, one was recovered after several months on Level 96. The wanderer recovered on Level 96 reported that they noclipped into Level 81 at first. Lastly, one of them has not been recovered to this day, and The M.E.G. considers them to be dead. Ever since this incident, large warning signs have been placed around every entrance to the building, and it is surrounded by barricade tape. However, this building is not seen as a large danger, so no guards are stationed there.

Since the original expedition, no known incidents of people entering the building have happened, other than a time when a wanderer walked past the building and noticed some of the barricade tape was cut. The M.E.G. assumed this was just a prank, although they did install security cameras. Ever since this incident, nothing is known to have happened, although the security cameras are rarely manned.

Clipped Sears Tower

The Clipped Sears Tower, also known as the Clipped Willis Tower, is a replica of the top of the Sears Tower/Willis Tower in the middle of a street around 10 kilometres away from Level 11's centre. It is almost completely noclipped into the ground, with only the very top of the building poking out. It is unknown where the rest of the building is, whether it is in a currently undiscovered level, or if it simply doesn't exist. The building was discovered in May 1974, when residents of flats around the landmark suddenly noticed it appeared in the street in the morning. This was in the same month the Sears Tower was completed in The Frontrooms, again giving evidence of a connection between The Backrooms and The Frontrooms.

After the sudden appearance of the landmark, many cars travelling in the area crashed. This led to The M.E.G. sectioning off the road in 1983. However, this wasn't enough to stop the crashes, as the 「rolling car」 event still occurred on the road, causing fires. The M.E.G. solved this issue by putting walls on the road every 3.5 metres. Unlike with the Fake Empire State Building's barricade tape, the barricade tape that sections off the road has never been broken, so The M.E.G. has not installed security cameras.

The Central Needle

The Central Needle was a perfect replica of the CN Tower that appeared in Level 11's centre in June 1976. Due to the way no-clipping works, and due to the fact that most entrances to Level 11 place wanderers in the level's centre, wanderers who noclipped into Level 11 would be at the top of the tower, and couldn't get down. This posed a major challenge for The M.E.G., as Level 11 was their main base of operations. As a result, The M.E.G. put in a large amount of resources to prevent deaths and destroy the tower, including blocking off entrances to Level 11 that placed wanderers in Level 11's centre and instructing wanderers to use safe entrances. Both The M.E.G. and The B.M.T.G. spent massive amounts of resources to get rid of the tower. By December 1976, The M.E.G. announced that Level 11 was safe to enter again as enough of the tower had been destroyed, and by 1979, it was completely gone. Like many other structures in Level 11, The Central Needle appeared at the same time it was built in real life. Some have theorized that The Backrooms intentionally placed the tower in Level 11's centre, which itself was based on the theory that The Backrooms is a malicious force.

Entities

Level 11 is mostly devoid of wildlife, however, some creatures can be found.

Backrooms creatures

Although most Backrooms entities are rare in Level 11, facelings and hounds are both common. Both of these entities are considered to be experiencing 「The 11 Effect」, making them both friendly. Here, hounds act like regular dogs and facelings act like wanderers. Many facelings have integrated with wanderer societies like The M.E.G. and hounds are known to play with the few dogs on this level. Strangely, facelings that leave the level still have 「The 11 Effect」, while hounds that leave do not. The reason for this is unclear.

Other Backrooms entities are present, although much rarer. Most common entities, such as windows, clumps, dullers, bursters, anethikas, camo crawlers, and lighters are not known to be present in this level. Insanities are also not present, as insanitation cannot occur on Level 11. Jerry also does not visit Level 11, and The F.O.J. tends to speak negatively of Level 11, sometimes even describing it as 「toxic」. As such, many think Level 11 is toxic to Jerry in some way, even though he cannot be killed. Blossoming eyes and skin-stealers are not known to be present here, but there are rumours of encounters on this level. However, there are some other entities confirmed to be on Level 11. Smilers are the only hostile entity on this level and also one of the rarest, residing in dark buildings and becoming more common the further from the centre one is. They are usually shy and docile, as they do not like the permanent sunlight of Level 11. Deathmoths also reside in decaying buildings in Level 11, although they are very weak and their colonies are destroyed easily. Females here do not spit acid. Much like smilers, they are rather rare, although not as rare as smilers. Perhaps the most common entity in Level 11, death rats that resemble sewer rats reside in alleyways and sewers in large numbers. These death rats may attack wanderers, although they do not carry many diseases, unlike sewer rats in The Frontrooms.

One of the most overlooked entities in Level 11 is the crawler fungus, which infects local arthropods. However, these arthropods are significantly weakened by the infection, causing them to die from direct exposure to sunlight in only a few minutes. This severely inhibits the spread of the crawler fungus, leading to it being very rare. Lastly, the rarest entity in Level 11 is Elevators. The closest elevator was found 526 kilometres away from Level 11's centre, and only around 58 have ever been found. Since Level 11 is the only quantum-stable level where elevators are found, and they are only found in the more unstable regions far from the level's centre, it is possible they exist from a 「leak」 that makes Level 11 only partially quantum-stable. Elevators on Level 11 are also known to behave erratically, from violently shaking, taking wanderers to the wrong level, or even flipping upside down. Due to this, The M.E.G. highly recommends to not ride elevators in Level 11.

Frontrooms creatures

Unlike many other levels, creatures from The Frontrooms are nearly as abundant as creatures from The Backrooms. City fauna is common in Level 11, such as pigeons (including the extinct passenger pigeon), raccoons, foxes, coyotes, opossums, skunks, and, very rarely, deer. These creatures are very rarely noticed as they are almost completely silent. The fauna in Level 11 has also evolved to have a different sleep cycle, staying awake for 36 hours and sleeping for 12 hours. Since they usually go unnoticed, some people say that they are far more numerous than most scientists believe.

Wanderers in Level 11 also frequently own pets. Most of these pets are imported from Level 81, although some Backrooms creatures (such as hounds) are also kept as pets, albeit more rarely. The variety of pets is similar to the variety of pets in The Frontrooms, with dogs, cats, hamsters, and rabbits being the most common. Due to the lack of laws against it, owning exotic pets is much more common in The Backrooms. Although usual exotic pets (such as gerbils and chinchillas) are owned by Level 11 residents, most exotic pets in Level 11 are illegal in many countries in The Frontrooms. Pets such as lemurs, African wild dogs, and even lions are all owned by a variety of Level 11 residents.

Colonies and Outposts

As of 2025, Level 11 is dominated by The M.E.G. Before The M.E.G. arrived, there were a variety of groups of facelings on the level.

M.E.G. base 「Main」

M.E.G. base 「Main」 is a base founded by The Backrooms Colonists in 1756. It has been the main base of The M.E.G. ever since the group's creation in 1907 and was the main base of The Backrooms Colonists except from 1739-1756. The M.E.G. claims that the base controls all of Level 11 and is currently the only known base on Level 11. The M.E.G. claims the base's population is around 1,500,000, although, a leak of The M.E.G.'s database by unknown hackers in 2014 reveals that the amount of M.E.G. members in Level 11 was just shy of 200,000. Most groups not affiliated with The M.E.G. place the base's population somewhere between 200,000 and 225,000, with the population steadily increasing by a few thousand yearly.

History

The Backrooms Colonists reached Level 11 in 1756, having previously had their main base in an obscure region of Level 5. At this time, no wanderers lived on the level, and it was inhabited only by groups of facelings. If the facelings in the level worked together, they could have easily wiped out The Backrooms Colonists. However, the two largest faceling groups in the level, The City Dwellers and The Alleyway, were at war. Although The Alleyway was winning in the beginning, the City Dwellers eventually managed to turn the tides, and by the time The Backrooms Colonists arrived, The Alleyway was almost wiped out. However, the support of The Backrooms Colonists and their weapons turned the tide, leading to The Alleyway securing a pyrrhic victory and wiping out The City Dwellers. However, most of The Alleyway's men were killed, leading to The Backrooms Colonists taking over their group. In the following decades, The Backrooms Colonists assimilated many faceling groups. Most of these groups are still autonomous to this day, and membership has seen a rise in recent years.

Following the assimilation, The Backrooms Colonists built most of Level 11's current infrastructure, including many famous buildings, Wi-Fi cables, flats, and more. This led to The Backrooms Colonists developing a reputation of being egomaniacs who spy on those who live in their outposts. To this day, there is a significantly higher amount of surveillance on outposts originally controlled by The Backrooms Colonists than on outposts originally controlled by The Lost.

When The Lost and The Backrooms Colonists merged into The M.E.G., the outpost in Level 11 was still mainly used by The Backrooms Colonists, while The Lost used the M.E.G. base in Level 2. The M.E.G. has, however, become more centralized since then, and almost the entire governing body is located in Level 11. There are still some trends between the different M.E.G. bases.

Old faceling bases

Although none of these are around today, before the arrival of The Backrooms Colonists, the level was populated by facelings exclusively. Their numbers were not as large as nowadays, but a variety of faceling groups existed.

The Alleyway

The oldest and largest group on the level for a while, The Alleyway was founded by a group of around 12 facelings in the mid-600s. Today, these facelings are known as 「The Founders」. As their name suggests, the group's outposts were in alleyways, where they kept death rats as pets, unlike the rest of Level 11's facelings, which mostly had pet hounds. Although a niche group when they were founded, they were the largest group among facelings living by Level 11's centre by the year 1000, and they influenced much of Level 11's current culture. In 1403, a group of separatists broke away and founded The City Dwellers. This split led to the group becoming more militaristic, and cultural innovation largely died down. The two groups were at war for the better part of the next 300 years, with The City Dwellers winning most of them.

The City Dwellers

By the time of The Backrooms Colonists's arrival, The City Dwellers were the largest faceling group on Level 11. They were formed in 1403 when a group of young facelings decided to leave the alleyways and move into a nearby flat. After several months, the facelings realized they could not sustain their outpost as their food supply was dwindling, so they attacked The Alleyway. Despite The Alleyway massively outnumbering them, they lost the battle due to their army being unmotivated and lacking weapons. These raids and brief conflicts quickly escalated into full-blown wars, with supporters of The Alleyway initially calling them 「City Dwellers」 derogatorily, although they eventually adopted the name. These wars were mostly won by The City Dwellers, eventually attracting enough facelings to make the group larger than The Alleyway. The group was more militaristic and provided little cultural innovation, and their legacy is mostly forgotten nowadays, but some people sympathize with them. During the early days of The Backrooms Colonists, it was common for people to blame adverse events on The City Dwellers.

A Taste of Home

Although the group never had an official name, it is commonly known as either 「The Kitchen」 or 「A Taste of Home」. This group operated several restaurants around the level, and, to this day, is one of the largest autonomous faceling groups in Level 11 as of 2025. The group was formed during the so-called Faceling Golden Age in the mid-1200s. A group of chefs working for The Alleyway decided that the alleys were not big enough for their culinary projects, and so moved on to actual kitchens. Although many members of The Alleyway protested at first, A Taste of Home and The Alleyway soon became close allies, and A Taste of Home frequently delivered food to them from the restocking shelves in their restaurants.

This group faced major difficulties when the wars between The Alleyway and The City Dwellers started to ramp up. This made it impossible for them to deliver food to one side without attracting the ire of the other. Although some suggested that their food be delivered discretely, they eventually decided to stop delivering food and create a sustainable restaurant chain. Many facelings at the time saw them as 「the last remnant of the Golden Age」, and their food was an escape for many people. Their recipes influenced Level 11's culture arguably just as much as those of The Alleyway, and most restaurants on Level 11 still follow their model.

The group joined forces with The Backrooms Colonists not long after they arrived. To this day, they are an autonomous group with The M.E.G. By the time of their shutdown, they owned around 30 restaurants, most of which are still operated in 2025.

The Faceling Band

The Faceling Band was a group of facelings dedicated to spying on other groups and selling that information. They had a reputation among facelings of being highly skilled spies, who could collect information on almost anyone as long as you could give them items they wanted. They were founded in 1567 as a branch of The City Dwellers, although they eventually split and became a non-aligned group. Furthermore, they were bought by The Backrooms Colonists not long after they arrived at the level. Although their skills were utilized by them during their early years, the death of many of the group's original members led to it getting dissolved in the late 1800s, with their last expedition being in 1874.

The Junkies

An almost unknown group whose history is completely censored by The M.E.G., The Junkies were a group of facelings that spent all of their time indulging in addictive substances. There were around 12 of them, and they were supplied by The B.M.T.G. They lived near the exit to Level 10 to be able to reach The B.M.T.G. more easily. It is unclear when they were created, with some saying they only existed for a few years and others saying they were 「as old as the level itself」. The group met its end around 1760, when police forces of The Backrooms Colonists found them. They asked them if they were members of The City Dwellers. When they didn't reply, the police began to search their belongings, realizing that they had large amounts of addictive substances. Since The Backrooms Colonists did not have that strong of a grip over the level, the police fired at the group, killing all members in around 10 seconds. Nowadays, it is assumed that the police were intoxicated.

Discovery

Level 11's discovery is, to this day, a mystery. Facelings have assumed to have inhabited the level for at least a few thousand years, and the first group consisting of wanderers that stayed here were The Backrooms Colonists. However, it is highly unlikely that The Backrooms Colonists were the first wanderers on Level 11, or even the first wanderer base on Level 11. Any knowledge of a 「first base」 is gone. However, facelings on the level were speaking a language that has been described as 「somewhat similar to English」 by the time The Backrooms Colonists arrived, suggesting a group of wanderers that spoke Old English arrived at Level 11 at some point. This faceling language is now known as 「Faceling Creole」, and is almost extinct in Level 11, but it is still spoken by some facelings and even a few wanderers as a second language.

Entrances and exits

Entrances

Level 11 has entrances from many levels. All of these entrances lead to the level's centre unless otherwise specified. Noclipping in some uninhabited villages or entering certain barns in Level 10 will lead you to Level 11. An inclining stairwell that resembles the rest of Level 3 in Level 3 will lead to Level 11. Leaving Level 13 through the bronze doors in the front will lead to one of 13 hotels near the level's centre. Level 11 is thought to have an intrinsic connection to Level 15, and entering sliding glass doors in Level 15 will result in entry to Level 11 in front of a food court building. Attempting to enter the deck of Level 17 will lead to Level 11. Exiting a revolving door that appears to lead to a city in Level 40 will lead to this level. Punching a window in the 2020s section of Level 61 will lead here. Exiting out of the front door in Level 121 will lead to the front porch of an out-of-place house on Newcast St on this level. Lastly, breaking the floor of Level 19 will cause wanderers to fall into an office building in Level 11. Exiting the glass front doors of Level 33 will place wanderers in front of a random shopping mall in Level 11, while re-entering said mall will lead back to Level 33.

Exits

As Level 11 is the last quantum-stable level, it has exits to every other quantum-stable level. Going into a basement that looks like Level 0 or Level 1 will lead you to the respective level. Noclipping into an oddly placed pipe will take one to Level 2. Walking down specific sets of stairs takes wanderers to Level 3. Noclipping in an office will result in entry to Level 4. However, many offices in the level has guards against this to prevent workers from escaping. Being crushed by a chandelier will result in wanderers being taken to Level 5. Staying for too long in a dark section of the level will lead a wanderer to Level 6. Drowning oneself in very specific tanks of water will lead to Level 7. Attempting to break through a street will result in falling into Level 8. Noclipping in oddly small houses will lead to Level 9. Lastly, walking down streets with an excessive amount of vegetation will eventually lead to the streets slowly fading in to Level 10.

Outside quantum-stable levels, portals can take one to Level 12, and entering old flats has a small chance to lead to Level 13. Entering a restaurant will always lead you to Level 15. Unlike many of these entrances, this one didn't seem to work until the mid-1800s. Entering a retro-looking radio station further than a few hundred kilometres from Level 11's centre will lead to Level 46. Climbing up an oddly-placed ladder that seems to go on forever will lead to Level 97. Entering certain buildings that make wanderers tired when near them and emit a crimson glow lead to Level 92. Entering a store labelled 「Alom Wotor」 will lead to Level 119. Buying train tickets from a store and then exiting the store will take the wanderer who purchased the train tickets to a random section of Level 61, as long as it's newer than the 1940s-1950s section. Entering an arcade may lead to Level 40. Noclipping in a 1930s-style hotel will lead to Level 171. These hotels usually have only one room. Lastly, noclipping through the front window of a sushi shop will lead to Level 404. Falling into a gap near the entrance of a building labelled 「Entertainland」, which can appear between 1,000 and 2,500 kilometres from the level's centre, will lead to Level 32. Entering the front door of an out-of-place house on Newcast St will lead to Level 121. Entering some shopping malls in the level will place wanderers behind the glass door entrance to Level 33.

For entrances to sublevels, Level 11.2 can be entered by walking towards a dysfunctional power plant known as the 「Perdition Compound」. Where Level 11 ends and Level 11.2 begins varies depending on the definition of the level boundary that is used. According to The M.E.G., anything less than 10 kilometres away from the Perdition Compound is in Level 11.2, and everything more than 10 kilometres away is in Level 11.
