The Big Brother House is a large building in Borehamwood.

It's location is within the area named Elstree Studios, which is located in the suburb of South Borehamwood.

As the "goal" of the Dead Set DVD competition, to some degree it is a magnet for zombie and survivor alike. Although all player types are eligible for the competition, anyone wishing to remain a survivor (for bragging rights) will presumably need to be well equipped to deal with the risks of infection, PKers, and the need for constant barricading of the House in order to keep out zombies. Zombie players, for their part, will find Memories of Life the only "necessary" skill for entry - patience and good timing allowing them to use a full quota of AP in order to storm the Diary Room (once they are able to open doors).

Players with no interest in the competition can still be satisfied by the XP to be gained from others rushing to the House. An alternative objective for some survivors is to simply remain human for the limited duration of play, and thus gain fame in the manner of The Monroeville 100.

Interior

Big Brother House is an unique large building mechanic-wise, unusually for large buildings different blocks behave differently.

  • the runs are dark buildings;
  • the diary room doesn't have any access to or from street. One can only enter it from inside Big Brother house;
  • the control room features CCTV monitors that cycle through Big Brother lounge, diary room and gardens.

Newspapers

Various newspapers appear to state that the Big Brother house is located within certain suburbs, but these could be tricks. A typical example is as follows:

"It's a local paper, with a story about security at the Big Brother house in <suburb>."

Watching the House

It is possible to see who is inside the Big Brother lounge when inside a mall by pressing the "Watch Television" button.
