Phenomena
Skip to List Why not try a Random Phenomenon?

In universe…
phenomena are a plethora of strange, unexplainable occurrences which occur within the Backrooms — unexplained, unnatural irregularities that are typically not fully understood. Phenomena are known for defying laws of physics, pushing the boundaries of ideas such as time and Euclidean geometry, bending reality and dipping it into the unreal.

From passing through solid matter, mysterious rituals, lethal environments that occur naturally within a given space, inanimate objects becoming animate, to a room suddenly appearing completely different after one blinks, phenomena can include a wide array of useful or inexplicable events. It is advised to use caution when exploring levels that are unexplored or poorly understood, as there is no reasonable way to know exactly what the unknown has in store. If you discover a phenomenon that has not been documented, please contribute it to the database!

Out of universe…
…a phenomenon can be described as any strange, unnatural occurrence within The Backrooms. A phenomenon can be a visual abnormality, a temporal effect, a strange ritual, a massive spacial shift, or any other irregular, difficult-to-explain occurrence that can be described on a wiki article. This category is very broad, so feel free to let your creative juices flow!
