Most of the story occurs in the Glade. The glade is a giant maze and the Gladers have to try and find the exit. In the middle of the maze there is a safe spot where there is no maze to solve. In the middle there are many buildings. There is the homestead and the blood house. There is also a forest, cemetery and a cliff. The homestead is where some of the Gladers sleep and relax. The blood house is where the animals are slaughtered and prepared for cooking. The forest is where the cemetery is. The map room is a common place for the runners. In the map room the runners can make and study maps. The last place is the cliff, this is where the gladers that misbehave are thrown off.
