To be fair, you could also exploit that as an _ADvantage._ If you are being chased by a monster and feel like you might get cornered, duck around a wall and toss one item on your person (obviously the most expendable one you have) in a different direction so that it makes a noticeable sound to lure the monster away from you.

So I know I’m late, like a LOT, but here are some things that I noticed Do not look in the filing cabinets, there can possibly be an entity waiting in there, and you won’t be able to escape it once you open it. And with the ceiling, (you can fact check me on this) I’m pretty sure that hounds, one of the entities in the backrooms, can fall from the ceiling, so they are most likely in that little space between the ceiling and the hanging ceiling. That’s all, but you can fact check me on all of that!

While you may be correct, he's talking about kane's iteration of the backrooms. In this version there are no levels. No entities. It's just an endless void.

[@-..A_Duck..-]

@@EnderEye73 No problem!

[@The_Andromeda_Galaxy]

It mainly depends on which interpretation of the backrooms is being used. This is the one where you just accidentally noclip into a seemingly infinite maze like structure(with variations) and a known monster. Not the ones where you're pretty much meant to die or only like 3 in every 100 people end up surviving the first few days.

[@-..A_Duck..-]

@god of bacons Yes, but it's typically not known as an "entity".

[@loganlewis7562]

About the vents, there's one potential issue with that. I've seen some non-official cannon things where dog like creatures with human heads reside in the air ducts. Of course this may not apply to the official backrooms, however it brings up the very important possibility that there may be more unseen danger in the vents then in the maze.

About the drop ceilings Mat I used to be a maintenance man and have worked with them. I do not believe they'd be able to support a humans weight; while your description of them was correct the metal frames that hold the panels in place in my experience have always be fairly thin with just a wire holding the actual frame itself up. Now normally they are connected to wooden beams above and beside those wooden beams are thinner sheets of wood (like plywood or something sadly I'm not well educated in building construction, materials, etc) perhaps you could bust through that. Not sure if it would lead anywhere but I do agree you could follow the wires in the drop ceiling. I'm sure someone has brought this up before but I hadn't seen anything and figured I'd say something. Love the vids though buddy!

To help with the ceiling tile method, there's a method I learned from Minecraft, hit the holes onto the right side of the ceiling. The trick is that if you ever lose your way in a cave system, your torches on the wall will lead you back if you put them exclusively on the right side of the cave wall. With this method, you'd know if you were following a path you had already taken or had accidentally turned around, alternatively if you happened to make a campsite in the backrooms, you'd know how to find your way back to it.

The issue with crawling into the false ceiling cavity is that typically those false ceilings cannot support any decent amount of weight. And definitely couldn't support the weight of any average human, they are usually only suspended from the real ceiling... You might be able to crawl along where the walls/roof meets because the wall should have weight baring capacity but that will be highly restrictive if the walk you are on doesn't connect to an outter wall.

[@cocochcoco]

One thing to consider though is that we don’t know whether the monster can hear us and how good his hearing is, so making signs in the wall or throwing an object to make the roof move will make mass amounts of sounds. The monster could easily find you before you have an good lay out of the maze.

@@kovdhsama Spoilers if you're not up to date with Kane Pixel's series. I heard the theory that since the monster is referred to by Kane as "Bacteria" and also because of that body found with something growing on it that the monsters are people who died. (They get reanimated as as those monsters, basically.) So the chances of running into one would be relatively low at first but as time progresses and more people die in the Backrooms there's more monsters and thus higher odds of running into one.

[@cormacmccarthy1889]

It's not the Warden dawg

[@cyrusthelizardking]

I’d say to be careful with all of these strategies- we don’t know the intelligence of this monster. It could be able to read, failing that it’s more likely it could follow your trails right to you and even try to lead you off into the depths. Throwing shoes is loud and provides falling obstacles and a solid pathway for everything to follow. Also horror strategy rules state do NOT use the crawlspace

[@mrreyes5004]

I _highly_ doubt the monster is that intelligent. It immediately charges at Kane on sight without bothering to use stealth, threw a chair for seemingly no reason (if anything, it's an anti-feat of intelligence since the sound of the chair hitting the wall signalled to Kane that the monster was there), and let out an obvious growl when it found Kane in front of the hole (if Kane just jumped down rather than turn around, the monster wouldn't have been able to grab him). This is further supported by the Async personnel's use of the red trail rope that they use to find their way back; if there were monsters in the Kane Pixels Backrooms intelligent enough to follow trails, I highly doubt those scientists would use such an obvious trail to guide them back. And yes, we do know the scientists of Async are perfectly aware of the monsters since the recent Informational Video makes it clear that they know the dangers of the Backrooms (namely the policy that only groups of 3 or more should be permitted to enter the Backrooms, as there is safety in numbers). All in all, the Kane Pixels Backrooms' monster barely seems as intelligent as a wild feral animal, so leaving a trail on the wall would barely garner more than a moment-long curious glance from it.

[@iPuls3]

@@mrreyes5004 Going off of other theories, there should be multiple monsters, they could have varying levels of intelligence. Also, never ignore the idea that the monster is toying with him, knowing his end is near.

[@mrreyes5004]

Sorry, but I'm not going to let this turn into a big running-around-in-circles thing about if the monster is intelligent. No, there is no sign that the monster was just toying with him. No, there is no sign that it understands that a trail on the wall left by a key or pencil could lead to an intelligent human victim. No, there is no sign that Kane Pixels' continuity is strictly tied to any other canon about the Backrooms besides the bare minimum left by the og picture, and he's free to follow his own canon and his own list of monsters without necesarily needing to include the dozens of monsters from other continuinities. We use evidence to arrive at conclusions, not a mess of "well we don't really know..." or "well maybe there are other monsters with high intelligence..." because that just isn't how logic works. The fact of the matter is, the best strategy is still to be able to leave some kind of trail or sign of where you once were and/or where an advantageous location is, because clearly not doing so and just meandering through even with MatPat's disjointed-maze advice is just bound to get a wanderer killed purely as a result of getting a lost and getting dead-ended by a pursuing monster (which is exactly what happened to Kane). It may not be the best possible strategy, but considering the one monster we have seen has no evidence of being smart enough to discern the significance of a man-made trail left by a key or pencil on the wall, it's one of the few we've got. End of story. Peace out.

Matt, you should apologize for using Established Titles as a sponsor. I’m a huge fan of what you do, and it absolutely shocks me to find out you didn’t do more due diligence on the sponsors you accept. It has wrecked your credibility in my eyes, and I think that is also true of every single creator who took the money and ran with Established Titles. You should not only refund everyone who made a purchase through your channel’s promotion, but you should take the amount of money in purchases and actually donate it to a charity which plants trees. For the record my friend, this is the reason why the media doesn’t take creators seriously the way they should. This is why they treat them all like children, because they demonstrate a fundamental lack of due diligence, care, and credibility when interacting with their audiences. The same duty of care to your business, employees, and community which you have mentioned before also extends to your viewers, which is reflected in the kinds of sponsors you accept on your channel. It is true that the majority of your sponsors were never shown to be scams, but all it takes is one bad apple to wreck years of hard earned trust and rapport with your viewers. That is why you have to consider the risk and the reward of aligning yourself with any sponsor, which I’m sure you already do. This event will hopefully teach you that due diligence needs to be thorough and consistent when vetting sponsors. I think you know that even a slightly more rigorous due diligence process on your part would’ve revealed the company to be suspicious at best and fraudulent at worst. I won’t stop being a fan of your work, as there really is no other creator who does what your team does, but I’d be lying if I didn’t share how disappointing it is to learn about this debacle involving your channel. Regardless of whether you read this or respond, I hope you do what is right and I believe you will.

I was reading a Ray Bradbury story called “Trapdoor” for the first time last night…and boy did it have the feel of the Backrooms no-clip at the end!

The issue with discovering this, is that my nightmares are literally this. Having somewhere to be or go and getting anywhere but, turns going nowhere, things constantly holding me back and stopping me from getting where I need to be. And they can go on for ages, I mean feel like a literal hour. So I wonder how long it is until I wake up in a yellow corridor

Mattpat, if you aren’t careful in the ceiling you can no clip into level “Fun” where the “Partygoers” dwell presumably one of the most dangerous levels

That’s only on level 1, and kane is on level 0 here

I would love to see a Game Theory vs Broogli series on the Backrooms. Is Broogli correct in his theories, or is there something more to it than what he says?

[@tehhypergamer963]

One time while bored while I was still in High School, I made a little figure out of unbent and twisted paperclips. The Backrooms monster strangely looks a lot like that figure I made.

[@theskullboy8700]

Makes you wonder how many monsters were created through boredom

[@DevinJuularValentine]

I thought it looked like lots of paperclips mashed together too

Yeah, if I ended up somewhere like that, I'd be more concerned about being in a Cube scenario. Also, while a lot of what Mat said is good advice for real life being lost scenarios, there's so much extra concern from not knowing the physics or in this case, the creatures of the place. Going up into the ceiling could entirely be different physics, or different living things to be worried about up there. Also, while 99% of us probably wouldn't take wall scribblings as advice, part of me would really want to try staying perfectly still since that was the literal only advice anywhere to be found in that video.

Yea, im pretty sure the writing on the walls was done by the dullers

The writing could just as likely be a trap rather than advice.
