How would you like to journey to mysterious labyrinthine spaces where you find yourself trapped in a surreal locale where time and logic don't always follow normal rules?  That is one of the ways that Connie Eichel describes the strange locations she has discovered that she calls the "Backrooms" of Second Life. Fascinated by these anomalous regions, Connie now leads people on guided tours of these bizarre places through her tour company, Conniexity.. In fact, Connie has been so inspired by her excursions to these peculiar areas that she has even decided to build her own "Backroom" which is currently under construction.  She says that once it is completed, then Conniexity will also take passengers on tours of this new offbeat and eccentric venue.  With a smile on her exuberant face, she explained that all participants on the tour will be provided a hazmat suit for their protection.

So, if you would like to embark on an enigmatic exploration where reality blurs, and endless corridors and hallways twist and turn into unusual realms, then step into the unknown with Conniexity's tours of the legendary "Backrooms". Information about these tours is announced in the "Travel & Adventure" group, which also regularly announces other interesting and fun travel and tourism opportunities around the grid.
