Line 6:
The '''Building of Adventure''' is frequently in the [[Middle of Nowhere Street]]. May be a setting in a [[Cozy Catastrophe]].
 
Frequently, as in many examples below, the building will be [[Big Labyrinthine Building|a complex, arcology, or large structure]]. This still eliminates the need for location shooting and can result in very strange overuse of familiar props and scenery. Sometimes, especially when played for laughs, sections of a '''Building of Adventure''' will look ''nothing'' like other sections. However, at its most pure, this trope refers to a small, familiar set as the entire world of the story, a device often used in theatre.
 
{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'' had the Heavens Arena: a 210-story tower full of battle arenas, as well as malls and luxury hotels.
* Hinata Inn, of ''[[Love Hina]]'', was a sort of these. Tunnels, ancient underground civilizations of turtles, workshops, old rooms with creepy automata, whatever the plot called for.
* Like Hogwarts, Duel Academy in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' is a school cut off from the rest of the world. In chronological order, 3three demons were sealed away, a maniac with a [[Kill Sat]] tried to brainwash everyone, and the island was sent to an alternate dimension.
* Despite being animated, most of ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' takes place within the confines of Jun's house, unless you count its [[Phantom Zone]].
* The anime ''[[Android Announcer Maico 2010]]'' has everything take place inside a radio station. (This is not true in the manga ''[[Android Announcer Maico 2010]]'' on which it was based.)
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* ''[[Crimson Tide]]'' takes place almost entirely inside a single nuclear submarine.
* ''[[The House of Yes]]'': Takes place within the confines of the titular house.
* The entirety of ''[[Cornered!]]'' takes place inside Steve's convenience store and his apartment upstairs.
 
== Literature ==
Line 107:
* Dr. Edison's manor in ''[[Maniac Mansion]]'' and ''[[Day of the Tentacle]]''.
* The Roivas family estate in ''[[Eternal Darkness]]: Sanity's Requiem''.
* The absurdly gigantic office and the area around it is the primary setting in ''[[Say No! More]]''.
