Alice wakes up one morning, only to hear screams. Rushing outside, she spots the love of her life, Bob, being stuffed into Charlie's car. Failing to catch them, Alice promptly suits and loads up, and starts trekking. Her goal? Rescue Bob from the dark Castle Charlie, which is always looming eerily on the horizon... While MacGuffins tend to take the form of things or even entities, a common alternative is to use a setting or location — where the driving force is instead a place where everyone's trying to get to (or get there first), but when reached doesn't have any significant impact on the plot. Most commonly found in media centering around The Quest (which, more often than not, contains another MacGuffin they desire). The other most common occurance is media that involves races — it often doesn't matter whether the finish line is in Cairo, New Zealand, or Omaha, just that they arrive first or on time. Compare with Going to See the Elephant. Examples |

In Final Fantasy VII, Shinra's main motivation is to find the 'promised land'. It's also Sephiroth's main motivation, though while Shinra wants it for the "endless" source of Mako, Sephiroth wants it because he knows Jenova is sealed there, and wants to release her. Later, he just wants the Mako as a limitless energy source instead. | |

The Crimestrikers episode seed "In Search of Ancient Secrets" plays with this trope. The Unthinkable Archive is a secret storehouse for art, literature and artifacts that have been considered dangerous by oppressive governments over the centuries. Created by a Benevolent Conspiracy of artists, scholars and Persecuted Intellectuals who wanted to preserve the knowledge, the Archive's ever-changing location was lost to history until just recently. The story has the Crimestrikers helping to explore the Archive—and protect it from those who still seek to destroy it. | |

Fallout: New Vegas revolves entirely around the biggest landmark in Nevada, the Hoover Dam. It provides clean water and free electricity to the entire state. He who controls it controls the future of the entire Mojave desert, so it's actually a pretty damn good justification of this trope. It's not magical, it's not full of unobtanium, it just provides what you need to live. The DLC Dead Money features the infamous Sierra Madre casino, a perfectly preserved and wickedly deadly pre-war casino with an untouched vault full of goodies, attracting treasure hunters from all over the Mojave. Even getting into the casino itself takes roughly half of the DLC, and reaching the vault itself takes most of the rest. And once the courier does reach the vault, barring certain glitches and tricks, there's no way to get most of the most valuable loot — the thirty-seven gold bars that finance the casino — out of the vault. This is intentional; the running theme of the DLC is that the hardest part of the Sierra Madre is letting go of it. |

Shangri-La, a Himalayan paradise where people live far longer than the normal human lifespan, was invented by James Hilton in his 1931 novel Lost Horizon. The novel and subsequent movie inspired many people to believe that Shangri-La was real; the Nazis sent an expedition to Tibet in 1938 to look for it. | |

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has Tanalorr, a mythical Paradise Planet hidden from the rest of the galaxy due to being located amidst a nigh-inaccessible spatial anomaly called the Koboh Abyss. The heroes and the villains spend the game racing each other to reach Tanalorr first since the planet offers a safe haven from the Galactic Empire. The Stinger Mantis crew seek to use the planet as a base of operations for the Hidden Path and their rebel allies. The main villain Dagan Gera wants to reclaim Tanalorr for himself, having been the one who originally discovered the planet during the High Republic era and fell to the Dark Side from growing dangerously attached to it. Bode Akuna also wants Tanalorr because he sees it as a place where he and his daughter can live in peace. Problem is that Bode is a Knight Templar Parent unwilling to share the planet with anyone else to the point where he betrays the heroes to the Empire and later tries to kill Cal and Merrin when they manage to follow him to Tanalorr. | |

Outlaw Star has people searching for the location of the fabled Galactic Leyline, presumably a giant stash of valuable minerals or other treasure. Actually, it's a repository of knowledge, and after it's found it runs away again so that the chase can start all over. Technically the place seems to be a Literal Genie Genius Loci, capable and willing to fulfill any wish that a person reaching its core chooses to make. A person wishing for knowledge will be swallowed in its datastream, however. |

Shinzo in, well, Shinzo. It's the last human city several centuries into the future, and Chosen One Yakumo must reach it. In the original Japanese version it's called "Mushrambo", after the main character's fusion form. Well, in the first season, it turns out Shinzo is long since destroyed, wiped out by the original, evil Mushrambo, and there are no humans left. In season two, it is again the destination, but it turns out that Shinzo is long since abandoned, because in the new revised timeline (an encounter with a time-controlling villain gave us Good Mushrambo vs. Bad Mushrambo, with the bad Mushrambo getting taken down before he could go back and finish off the last humans) humans and Enterrans have made peace and there's no need for a "last refuge of humanity". Either way, "Shinzo the city full of the last humans" is not a thing at all, but the search for it is what makes everything happen! | |

In the Yogscast's modded Minecraft series MoonQuest, the idea is that they start from scratch and have to collect the resources to build a facility, equipment, and a rocket ship to travel to the Moon, with a space race going on between Team J.A.F.F.A (Lewis Brindley, Simon Lane and Duncan Jones) and Sipsco (Sips and Sjin). After 45 episodes of distractions, setbacks, misadventures, and general shenanigans, Team J.A.F.F.A finally send Simon to the Moon and then have to build another rocket to go there again after he crashes and is stranded there. | |

The Crystal Empire in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It's explicitly said to be able to invoke Fisher Kingdom on the rest of the world, and it also appears to be the main source of obscure magic in the series.

The Dark Tower has...well... King lampshades this at the end. He stops to say it should be enough to just get there, but since some of you will insist, he'll also provide the ending that actually tells what happens there... which when read makes it no less a MacGuffin Location. The poem that inspired the series is all about the existential meaninglessness of searching for a place for so long, "Childe Roland" has pretty much forgotten why he's searching for it. |

The titular location of Kingdom Hearts is said to be a source of ultimate knowledge and power, and is thus sought after by various villains who seek to rule the universe using it. Muddying the waters initially is that several villains manage to assemble smaller copies of Kingdom Hearts, usually serving as The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. The franchise initially makes no clear distinction between the copies and the real thing, but it's eventually established that the ones the characters have visited are inferior replicas of the true location. | |
