The apartment complex is seven stories tall and is shaped like an L. There are three staircases, one on each end and one at where the two corridors intersect. The area is surrounded with landmines. The Tagger first appears on the southern side of the building. The safe zone is located on the 4th floor. The apartment that is guarded by the Tagger contains two waist-height pillars with big buttons on top, which have to be pressed simultaneously in order to clear the game.

To the right of the central staircase, there is a long hallway, which ends with another staircase. The windows on the back side of the building are close enough for a person to jump between them. The safe zone is located in apartment #406 on the fourth floor. There are two wall-mounted emergency buttons inside the main bedroom of the apartment, and they need to be pressed simultaneously in order to clear the game.
