Why even bother with a City of Adventure? Sometimes, all it takes is one building to provide all the wackiness the plot requires. Besides, that way, you don't need to do any location shooting. The Building of Adventure is frequently in the Middle-of-Nowhere Street or an Apartment Complex of Horrors. May be a setting in a Cozy Catastrophe. Frequently, as in many examples below, the building will be 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. |

The vast majority of Bleach's Hueco Mundo arc takes place in one massive building called Las Noches. Despite atomic sized explosions such as those caused by Ichigo's Hollow and Ulquiorra's Segunda Espada form, barely any of the structure is even scathed. | |

Ys series: Ys Origin: Excluding an intro sequence with no combat, the entire game occurs in Darm Tower. The interior is very spacious, with the tower likely having a diameter of a couple thousand feet. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox has a downplayed version in the form of the Balduq Prison. While most of the game's action takes place in the surrounding City of Balduq, at the end of every chapter there are special segments, in which you take control of the second Adol, that occur completely inside the prison. These segments trade the game's Hack and Slash gameplay for more puzzle-based approach. |

Harry Potter: Hogwarts and its grounds in the book series, though the books had a few scenes in other places — Knockturn Alley, Gringotts, or the nearby Muggle-free town, Hogsmeade. Also the Ministry of Magic, which provides the setting for a great battle (the battle of the Department of Mysteries) and later an important infiltration attempt by Harry, Ron and Hermione. |

Resident Evil 2: The majority of the game takes place in the Raccoon City Police Department. You do eventually leave it, but not until fairly late in the game. And even then, the other location, an underground laboratory, is accessed from a secret tunnel in said police station. |

Red Dwarf for much of its run. Indeed, in the first series, they did not leave the ship once. Of course, like the above two examples, the titular ship is the size of a small city anyway (6 miles long, 5 miles high, 4 miles wide — that adds up to a lot of interior space), although the lack of population makes that largely moot. | |

General Hospital: The titular hospital was originally an example of this trope, in fact in its first few years almost all of the action was set entirely on the seventh floor. Eventually as money became available, character's apartments and homes were shown and the hospital was eventually shown less and less until the title of the show become somewhat of a misnomer, although the hospital set has been used a lot more lately. In essence, the show evolved from this trope to City of Adventure, since even now most of the action remains in Port Charles. | |

The earliest shows went a step even farther: drawing from stage traditions (and often in front of a live audience), they could have all the wackiness necessary to facilitate the series take place in a single room, such as Ralph and Alice's apartment in The Honeymooners. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court: Almost none of the action in has taken place outside of the titular school/industrial complex, with the exception of some brief foray into Gillitie Forest (which lies just outside the Court) and flashbacks to the Good Hope hospital. The comic still manages this successfully in spite of the fact that the titular Court is a lot like a small city (with housing complexes, commodities like hairdressers, and a full mass-transit system) due to the fact that the vast majority of the Court is disturbingly empty (even considering the robots). | |

Buildingverse got its name because of this trope. When Roommates began it was set in a single apartment building (#42). But as the series progressed and the 'verse grow there were more and more things added to the town (First an Extranormal Institute (St. Jude University) then restaurants (Sakura Sushi, Convenient Café) etc.), and story lines even outside of that from Oz to Paris. So currently we have a subversion. | |

Set up and subverted in Northanger Abbey. Catherine is sure that the titular building is going to be ominous and full of mystery since an ancient abbey is right out of the Gothic romances she so enjoys.

This also applies to the adult-oriented parody series of the above, Sealab 2021. One episode even specifically advertised it as a building of adventure to get tourists to come to Sealab, which angered Quinn because Murphy took out a loan with Sealab as collateral to make said advertisement, meaning they have to follow through on hosting tourists to keep Sealab from foreclosing. | |

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox has a downplayed version in the form of the Balduq Prison. While most of the game's action takes place in the surrounding City of Balduq, at the end of every chapter there are special segments, in which you take control of the second Adol, that occur completely inside the prison. These segments trade the game's Hack and Slash gameplay for more puzzle-based approach. | |

Most of the plot in Only Murders in the Building takes place in the Arconia, the Upper West Side building where the three protagonists live, and that over the course of the series has hosted at least two murders, two pet poisonings, a stabbing, and the central hub of a graverobbing ring. | |
