What are the best places on Earth to reference when designing dungeons?

[gaylolis]

The context is in Dungeon Core stories.

If the MC based their dungeons on places from Earth, what kind of places would result in the best dungeons? It doesn't especially need to be ones for battling. Something like a city was also fine--anything that you think can make for a good dungeon.

I was guessing one of them might be IKEA, but not sure.

Feel; free to add your inputs :D

I think Pyramid, great wall, amazon jungle or Son Doong - the world's largest cave,... would be good

The Aleppo citadel. Kurgans, as in the burial sites. Darkweb basements. Pro smash player homes.

 

[Aoi_Sora]

Kowloon Walled City, Any places that have the slums, Casinos.

Wait... why am I saying things like Mazes

Would Paris Catacombs work?

 

[NotaNuffian]

Inside the Great Wall of China or the Catacombs underneath Paris?

The dead shall walk again.

Streets of Manila. Police, traffic enforcers, snatchers/robbers, your fellow driver, even politicians. It's a battle everyday, everyone's out to get you, though not necessarily kill you physically.

We read to escape the horrors of actual life, so thanks but no thanks.

But you can't deny, my place is a good model/reference for torture dungeons. Our folks always choose the 'SSS' difficulty without respite.

Read 'I just want to play the game quietly'. The author does a great job of mixing Chinese mythology with the dungeons.

You mean most streets in a third world country.

We're way lower than a third world country.

A big hospital. Or even better, use material from the backrooms has inspiration, they are too surrealism but at the time are things that everyone has a vague memory of being there. I think that's excellent for a attractive dungeon design in the real world

 

[BlackKnightX]

All the Wonders of the World, obviously. Oh, my own room would be nice as well; in case I got isekaied myself, I would be able to enjoy being in a dungeon~ uwu

The bottom of Mount Fuji, it's what you call Aokigahara.

Niah Caves in Miri, Malaysia. It's the largest cave network in the work. You could even hide Boeing 737 in one of the entrances. Alternatively, the Mulu Caves also in the same region is calculated to be able to hold 40 Boeing 747 in one of its chambers.

From the Biggest to the Longest, Five Amazing Caves To Visit

New measurements revealed the world's largest cave, which is unfortunately off-limits. But what are some other impressive underworlds open for visitors?

www.smithsonianmag.com

The Mulu Caves, located in Gunung Mulu National Park on the island of Borneo, are home to the world's largest cave chamber by surface area, as well as one of the largest cave passages on Earth. The Sarawak Chamber, which measures 1.66 million square feet, is nearly 2,000 feet long and over 260 feet high—so large that it could hold 40 Boeing 747 airplanes. Deer Chamber, one of the largest cave passages on Earth, is so big that it could fit five cathedrals the size of Saint Paul's in London inside its cavernous walls. Thousands of bats live within the Mulu Caves, and exit every day around sunset in search for food, offering tourists a magnificent display of their exodus.

Third world countries simply means neither NATO nor Soviet-alligned. It doesn't mean it's undeveloped. Singapore is a third world country, so is Iran, Malaysia, Greece and a handful other developed nations in Europe and Asia. The term you're looking for is either developing country, poor country or third-rate country.
