What are backrooms?

The backrooms are like an endless hallway that you can’t leave, kind of like being stuck in a really long school corridor.

Imagine you're playing hide and seek in a big building, but when you look for the others, all the doors lead to more hallways, and every room looks the same. That’s what it's like in the backrooms, just one big, repeating space with lots of empty rooms, and no end in sight.

What makes them special

In the backrooms, everything is quiet, kind of like when you're the only person in a library. But sometimes, there are strange things happening, maybe lights flicker or the floor feels soft under your feet, just like walking on a big, squishy pillow.

Why people go there

Sometimes people end up in the backrooms because they follow a door that wasn’t there before, or they walk through a wall like it was a curtain. It’s not magic, it’s more like discovering a secret passage behind your classroom wall!
