Level 188

Level 188 is the 189th Level of the Backrooms. Discovered on February 2, 2009, this level is considered a hot-spot of the entities known as "The Windows". Survivors have called it the Courtyard of Windows. level -319 exists

Description
Level 188 takes the form of a large building with a pentagon shaped courtyard in the center. There are about 90-200 windows that appear on the walls at any given time, though most of them are in an "inactive" state. The window blinds will cover the inside of the window, while active windows will have some sort of light source and an entity inside.

One can enter the interior corridors of Level 188 via a stairwell present near one end of the courtyard. These hallways, each interconnected to reach all 5 floors, loop around the level and lead to the interior rooms behind each window; these rooms can be entered via unmarked doors present on each hallway. Most of these doors can be entered, leading to a typical, albeit small, hotel-like interior. However, an anomalous effect becomes apparent once one attempts to enter a room with an “open” window. When a window is “open” and displaying a separate location behind it, the door leading to it will be locked by unknown means. In all known cases, any attempts to forcefully open these locked doors have failed. Currently, there is no known method of entering rooms with “open” windows. Conversely, it is unknown as to what occurs when opening the curtains in a room with a “closed” window; all who have attempted this have instantly disappeared, whilst the corresponding window simultaneously changes to display a new location behind it.

Please, don't make any jokes about the chair looking like an Among Us character, we sometimes do not tolerate jokes regarding a dangerous level, and you should not behave like a 5-year-old, thank you.]] What many assume to be grass on the floor is actually a type of moss that grows through the concrete floor. There is also a set of pipes on the side of one of the walls. The liquid the emanates from these pipes is not safe to drink. It is theorized that the large wooden circle in the center of Level 188 is a trap door that leads to another level, but this has not been tested.

Colonies and Outposts
Due to the nature of Level 188, along with its relatively meager size, establishing colonies or outposts of a significant size has proven difficult.

Exits
The only known way to access Level 188 is to enter a window that has appeared in The Hub. However, this is extremely dangerous, as most contain an unknown figure that can attack unpredictably. There is a small chance that entering a window in The Hub will lead directly to a window in Level 188.

Exits
Leaving Level 188 is possible, but extremely dangerous. Each time you enter or exit a window, the chances of returning unscathed gets slimmer. The most consistent way to leave Level 188 is through the same window you entered in, but most likely you will be unable to exit. Your best chances of survival would be to avoid all windows. They are always a trap. Say your prayers and only try to go through the window you came from. If you see confetti flying out of a window, there is a party in there! =)
