Q & A

What was the initial setting for the players before they were transported to the Backrooms?

The players initially believed they were on a peaceful tropical island experiment with increased levels of food and resources, and they had a regeneration buff making it almost impossible to die.

How did players get transported from the tropical island to the Backrooms?

Players were randomly teleported from the tropical island to level zero of the Backrooms after strange occurrences such as darkening skies and flickering players began happening on the island.

What was the primary challenge for players in level zero of the Backrooms?

In level zero, there were no resources available, and players soon realized they were not alone, facing the possibility of death either from starvation or from mysterious creatures lurking in the environment.

How did players react when they first encountered level zero?

Most players refrained from attacking each other upon arriving in level zero, choosing instead to gather at spawn or explore the new surroundings in search of resources, even though none existed.

What was the significance of the portal discovered at zero-zero coordinates?

The portal at zero-zero led players to level one, which was more habitable than level zero. It allowed them to gather resources, such as food and valuable items from supply crates, which helped them survive longer.

What conflict arose among the players regarding resources in level one?

Players began fighting over dirt, which was necessary for planting crops. This led to theft, espionage, and the formation of rival groups, with some players stealing dirt from others, escalating into gang violence.

What were the three main factions formed by the players in the Backrooms?

The three prominent factions were: 'The Moles,' who aimed to provide a safe haven for all players; 'Gang,' a neutral group focused on escaping the Backrooms; and 'COK (Kill on Sight),' a violent group that attacked and pillaged other players.

What was the primary goal of the 'peacekeepers' formed by Gang and the Moles?

The peacekeepers were a battalion of warriors created to specifically target and stop the COK faction from rampaging across the Backrooms, following a series of attacks by COK on other players.

What was the challenge players faced in levels two and three of the Backrooms?

Players experienced constant heat exhaustion in these levels, which gave them permanent hunger and slowness effects. Additionally, the levels were full of dead ends, and part of the environment was submerged underwater, making navigation difficult.

How did the conflict between the peacekeepers and COK culminate in level four?

The peacekeepers attempted to intercept COK at the portal to level four to stop them from progressing, but due to confusion over the portal’s location, they arrived at the wrong portal, allowing COK to advance further into the Backrooms.
