V5 Locations

Woodlands
To the south of the island lie the rolling hills of the woodlands. Lush and green and covered in a thick forest, the woodlands beckoned to adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike with their natural splendor. Providing one of, if not the best, views of the island from its peak, it garnered quite a reputation amongst those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In fact, a couple worse for wear makeshift campsites dot the large area, seemingly abandoned in someone’s haste.

 * Gabriel Lee (Lying on the ground, gunshot wound to the head)
 * Harry Hanley (Propped up against a tree, multiple gunshot wounds in torso)

Nuclear Plant
Hidden away in the hills and situated far from the city, the nuclear plant was the only area on the island off limits to residents and thus very little is known about its inner workings or its purpose. Luckily for the competitors this season, the doors to the factory have been opened and await all those courageous enough to venture inside. Just think of the super powers rolling in the waste could bring on.


 * Danger Zone: Day 5, Day 7 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:

Nuclear Living Site
Nuclear plant employees lived in a nearby residential district, separate from the larger town to the north. It looks complete in that it includes numerous living complexes and some stores, but it also appears decrepit. Many windows have broken, concrete has chipped or stained, and debris is scattered on the streets.


 * Danger Zone: Day 4, Day 7 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Kaitlyn Williamson (Slumped against a fence in the west living quarters, impaled by a spear)
 * Sunny Lee (Facedown on a stairwell in the east living quarters, stab wound in chest)
 * Joseph Chaplin (Lying inside a store on the strip, impaled by a weight bar)
 * Jessica Sanders (Lying in the street, throat blown apart)

The Airstrip
The Airstrip was, at one point in time, the hub of activity. It bustled with life, ferrying people to and from the island around the clock. It is now a shell of its former self; remnants of its past life lie scattered and broken across the grounds. Specifically, a handful of small planes that have deteriorated in the years since the island was inhabited remain on the premises. Perhaps the only remaining glory it has comes from the tower, which stills stands strong and tall with minimal corrosion and provides quite the view.


 * Danger Zone: Day 2, Day 7 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Kelly Peterson (Lying facedown in the hanger, pierced chest and slit throat)
 * Aria Samuels (Lying face up in the control tower, stabbed in the chest)
 * Theodore Fletcher (Collapsed near an airplane in the hangar, head bashed in and pipe wrench lodged in his skull)
 * Jack McDonald (In the control tower, cord wrapped around his neck)

Western Beach
A tourist hotspot, the western beach has seen its fair share of action—and not without reason, either. Between the romance of the lagoon and the dangerous allure of the roped-off caves dotting the area, it’s understandable why so many would flock to the location, although rumors of people disappearing in the caves managed to dissuade just as many from it.


 * Danger Zone: Day 3, Day 9 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Chuck Soileau (Lying face-down in the sand by the lagoon, blade wound in throat)
 * Karen Idel (Lying outside the Drowned Freighter, head exploded off)
 * Gavin Hunter (Lying outside the Drowned Freighter near Karen, head exploded off)
 * Cyrus White (Lying outside the Drowned Freighter, head exploded off)
 * Megan Emerson (Lying outside the Drowned Freighter near Cyrus, head exploded off)
 * Yukiko Sakurai (Sprawled near the food truck on Shelson's Beach, head wounds)
 * Sara Corlett (Lying inside the Drowned Freighter, face and body beaten)
 * Zoe Leverett (In a watery grave in the Dead Man's Grotto)
 * Corey Esposito (In a shallow grave outside the Dead Man's Grotto)
 * Jessica Murphy (In a watery grave)
 * Rachael Langdon (In a watery grave)

Southern Town
Dotted with large apartment complexes, small stores, and run-down parks, the southern part of town was never much to look at and has only gotten worse since being abandoned. Though the area was once notorious for its crime rate, the streets are now desolate and cracked, the worn, yellow flyers reading ‘EVACUATION; 10 APRIL’ the only reminder that life once walked them.


 * Danger Zone: Day 4, Day 6


 * Bodies:
 * Sven Olsen (Lying in the courtyard of the apartment buildings, blunt force to the head)
 * Becca Everett (Slumped against the doorframe of a record store on the streets, gunshot wound to the chest and head exploded off)

 * Joey Caputo (Lying inside the record store on the streets, head exploded off)
 * Lana Torres (Sprawled in one of the apartments, multiple gunshot wounds)
 * Paulo Abbate (Lying under the overpass, injuries from fall)
 * Rutherford Roger Jr. (Lying in a shoe store, blow to the ribs)
 * Veronica McDonald (Near R.J., multiple stab wounds to torso)
 * Stephanie Wright (Sprawled in the stread, face and body beaten)

 * Miles Strickland (Inside one of the apartments with Andi, gunshot wound to chest)
 * Makatala So'oialo (Inside an apartment with destroyed cameras, self-inflicted gunshot wound)
 * Takeshi Yoshikawa (Outside an apartment complex, chest slashed)
 * Juhan Levandi (Outside an apartment complex, multiple stab wounds)
 * Mirabella Strong (Outside an aprtment complex, multiple gunshot wounds)

Northern Town
In its prime, the northern part of town housed exclusive gated communities and beautiful estates with manicured lawns, including the mayor’s mansion. Now overgrown and abandoned, surrounded by rusted fences and broken fountains, the area is barely recognizable as a neighborhood sought after by the elites.


 * Danger Zone: Day 4


 * Bodies:
 * Brian Zhdanovich (Collapsed in a yard in the gated community, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Kat Tolstoff (Lying inside one of the mansions, gunshot wound in side)
 * Miranda Millers (Lying faceup near Kat, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Meera Stele (Lying outside one of the mansions, neck bruised)
 * Logan Cadagon (Just inside the front door of a house, multiple gunshot wounds in torso)
 * Rebecca Kiesling (Lying on a lawn in the gated community, gunshot wounds to head)
 * Carlos Lazaro (In a wooded area near one of the mansions, skull fractured by a baseball)
 * Iselle Ovalle-Vandermeer (Lying faceup on the top floor of one of the mansions, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Paris Ardennes (Leaning against a tree in the quad, stab wound in chest)
 * Joachim Lovelace (Next to Paris, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Ruby Forrester (Inside a house in the gated community, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Leona Van Kamp (Lying facedown in a hallway in one of the mansions, gunshot wound in chest)

Central Park
Very little remains of what used to be Central Park, the empty overgrown knolls and cracked pavement a stark contrast to the life that once teemed in the area. Much of the park has fallen victim to decay, the striking center fountain cracked and never without a coating of stagnant sludge at its bottom. Similarly, the gazebo, once a favorite for weddings, lies overrun by flora and tall trees, with its once elaborate trail pockmarked by weeds. Most would never believe the derelict area used to house extravagant ceremonies and festivals.


 * Danger Zone: Day 6, Day 7


 * Bodies:
 * Matt Masters (Lying near the gazebo, stab wounds in arm and throat)
 * Alda Abbate (Lying facedown near the gazebo, stab wound in torso)
 * Stacy Ramsey (Lying near the duck pond, gunshot wounds to neck and head)

School Buildings
Nestled in the hills are the twin school buildings, two multilevel structures connected in an ‘L’ shape, one an elementary wing and the other a high school. It appears as though the schools have held up better than other locations on the island, possibly because they're further from the coast, although the interior still shows the early signs of decay. There are personal belongings still in several desks, lockers, and cubbies. These range from children’s toys and lunchboxes to jackets and the like, although there are no textbooks or maps anywhere to be found. Outside, several yellow school buses lie broken and dismantled in the parking lot.


 * Danger Zone: Day 6, Day 10 (Permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Francis St. Ledger (Lying in one of the classrooms, covered with a tapestry, neck broken)
 * Yasmin Carrol (Hanging in a supply closet in the elementary school)
 * Jenna Rhodes (Lying in a hallway in the elementary school, stab wound in neck)
 * Kyran Dean (In a shallow grave near the athletic field, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Marcus Leung (Lying in the athletic field, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Maynard Francis Hurst (Lying in the athletic field, gunshot wounds to the head)
 * Cooper Komorowski (Lying undeneath a window outside the elementary school, neck broken and throat slit)
 * Owen Kay (Inside a classroom in the high school, gunshot wound in chest)

The Shopping Center
The shopping center remains petrified in a time before the evacuation, the shops and kiosks still fully stocked, with the exception of appliances, electronics, and weapon-like objects. The other stores carry ruefully outdated products, the clothing especially dreadful for any fashion conscious students. At least hunger won’t be a problem for those desperate enough to hazard a go at the unlabeled tins of food.


 * Danger Zone: Day 5, Day 10 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Cassandra Black (Lying face down somewhere on the top floor, multiple stab and slash wounds in back and gunshot wound in leg)
 * Oscar Trig (Near the supermarket on the bottom floor, stab wound in neck)
 * Aileen Aurora Abdallah (In a shallow grave just outside, near Benjamin)
 * Benjamin Ward (In a shallow grave just outside, near Aileen)
 * Eliza Patton (Somewhere on the top floor, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Cody Patton (Near Eliza, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Timothy Abrams (Lying in the center hall on the bottom floor, multiple stab wounds in neck)
 * Virgil Jefferson-Davis (In the Linen and Things, mutliple gunshot wounds across body)
 * Christopher Harlin (In an alcove on the top floor, gunshot wound to the head)

Hotel
An artifact of the island’s tourist industry, the hotel was once alive with excited eyes ready to tour the splendors of the island city. Now, the only eyes it’s going to see are the fearful ones of the students tasked to take one another’s lives. While most of the Hotel’s majesty has crumbled since the evacuation, it’s still an extravagant piece of architecture, boasting several floors of rooms, a grand entrance hall, and both an indoor and an outdoor pool—though only the latter is filled, and even then it’s just a stagnant green mess. Adding to the hotel's appeal, it is situated a stone’s throw away from the beach.


 * Danger Zone: Day 2, Day 8 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * David Zimmer (Outside of hotel, internal wounds from falling off balcony)
 * Amy Bachelor (Floating face-down in the pool, drowned)
 * Ilya Volkov (Lying face-down by the side of the pool, broken hand, tip of nose bitten off, gunshot wound to the chest)
 * Lydia Robbins (Lying face-down near poolside, gunshot wounds to chest and back of head)
 * Nina Clarke (Lying in the lobby, stabbed in chest)
 * Sophie McDowell (Facedown in the lobby, head and upper body blown apart)
 * Alexander de Gaulle (Slumped against a wall in the lobby, shrapnel wounds)
 * Summer Simms (Lying behind the bar in the lounge, part of her leg blown off and her severed head lying nearby)
 * Jesse Jennings (Lying near Summer, shrapnel wounds in chest and hand blown apart)
 * Adam Morgan (Lying faceup in the lobby, stab wound in stomach)
 * Alice Gilman (Lying near the pools, gunshot wound in chest)

The Hospital
The hospital was the hub for all those feeling under the weather. The structure is a plain, square, white building that has grayed with time but served the island well. The hospital has three floors. The first level holds reception, emergency admittance, and offices; the second level is stocked with patient beds and an intensive care unit; and the third level is split between a children’s wing and a maternity ward. Throughout the building there are abandoned patient files, unmade beds, pilfered snack machines, and used bedpans. Children's and baby’s toys litter the third floor, and observers can take in the crayon artwork done by ill children that has been pinned to the walls.


 * Danger Zone: Day 8 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:


 * Carlon Wheeler (Lying facedown in the lobby, gunshot wounds to leg and torso)
 * Alexandria Ripley (Lying faceup in the lobby, multiple gunshot wounds across body)
 * Mallory McCormick (Lying in the lobby, multiple gunshot wounds across body)
 * Ray Gilbert (Lying in patient care, face smashed in)
 * Brianna Battaglia (Curled up on a couch in the lobby, a spilled bottle of pills near her)
 * Michelle Wexler (Lying in patient care, gunshot wound to the stomach)
 * Chase Rodriguez (Lying inside the children's ward, gunshot wound in head)
 * Cammy Davidson (In the maternity ward, throat slashed)

The Shipping Yard
The shipping yard is a maze of colorful containers that has remained largely unchanged since the island was abandoned, aside from accumulating more rust. When the island was populated, it served as a hangout spot for groups of the local teens, especially when they didn’t want to be caught partaking in less socially acceptable activities. Once more, it’ll see its share of teens, though this time they’ll most likely be looking for shelter from the bloodshed rather than the law.


 * Danger Zone: Day 4, Day 8 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies: 


 * Natalia Kowalski (Laying among the containers, head exploded off)
 * Edgar Tolstoff (Lying among the containers, throat slashed)
 * Garrett Cobbler (Facedown on the loading dock, gunshot wounds in back)
 * Janie Sinneave (Face-up in one of the storage containers, throat slashed)
 * Darren Fox (Laying at the bottom of a container, fall injuries)
 * Stephanie Chan (On the dock, face beaten in)
 * Ian Valmont (Some distance away from Stephanie, throat blown apart and gunshot wound to leg)

Eastern Inlet
The eastern inlet looks more like a junkyard nowadays than the quaint harbor it once was, with a beach made up of discarded bottles and miscellanea hidden in the tall grass—a godsend for the competitor with a decent amount of ingenuity. The shops have fared just as well, becoming less tourist trap and more death trap, the majority having just crumbled into the ocean following years of corrosion. What few remain house nothing of value, unless one plans on taking some souvenirs home.


 * Danger Zone: Day 8 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Gabriella Parker (Lying in a flower arrangement, multiple gunshot wounds across body)
 * Matthew Young (Beneath the boardwalk, blow to the side of the head)

Aviary
Once a favorite of the island residents, the Aviary has long since fallen into disrepair. One can assume, based on the avian remains strewn about (some still encaged) and the general disarray, that it hasn’t been cared for in quite some time. The only sign of life comes in the form of a headless statue of a knight poised for battle in the middle of the stone courtyard, unceremoniously covered in the excrement of former occupants, much like the rest of the building.


 * Danger Zone: Day 6, Day 8 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Steven Salazar (Lying in the Zen Garden, multiple gunshot wounds across body)
 * Bianca Howard (Lying in the courtyard, gunshot wound in chest)
 * Jaquilyn Locke (Near Bianca, multiple stab wounds, face covered by a sheet of paper)
 * Sharon Elizabeth Austin (Lying in the Zen Garden, multipe gunshot wounds)

Golf Course
Time has left the golf course unrecognizable. Once a place for high society to idle time away, it’s since become no different from any other meadow, aside from the odd overturned, broken down golf cart and the holes strewn about. The once perfectly-maintained field has grown over and the water hazard, without proper care, lies stagnant. On the bright side, the clubhouse no longer requires a membership.


 * Danger Zone: Day 5, Day 7 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Venice Pennington-Johannes          (Lying on the golf course, gunshot wound to the chest)
 * Adonis Alba (On a hospital gurney near Kyle, stab wound in chest)
 * Kyle Fitzpatrick (Lying outside the clubhouse, gunshot wound to head)

Amusement Park
The amusement park hosted the best festivals on the island back when it functioned, full of carnival games and food stands with hundreds of the natives turning up to partake in the merriment. Now hosting its farewell event, it leaves little joy to be had. Although the rides are now in disrepair and have become nothing more than scrap metal, they serve as a reminder that people once celebrated on the amusement park’s hallowed ground.


 * Danger Zone: Day 2, Day 7 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Mark Little (Crashed to the ground in a rollercoaster cart)
 * Lauren Rowe (Lying faceup in the haunted house, multiple gunshot wounds across body)
 * Natali Greer (Curled up in the floor of the rollercoaster control shack)

Homestead
The Homestead remains much the same post-evacuation as it was pre-evacuation: weather-worn and spooky. An expansive farm with overgrown grass and wheat fields surrounds the area, peppered with rusted equipment. Now struck with wood-rot, the structures offer little coverage from the elements, but provide an eerie look into the past of the previous owner; the bed is still neatly made and the kettle still sits ready on the wood burning stove. The start of a small wood carving lies on the nearby table.


 * Danger Zone: Day 3, Day 4, Day 6 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies: 
 * Brandon Baxter (A scattered mess in the wheatfield, exploded from grenades)
 * Casey Malkovich (In the upper level of the farmhouse, throat blown apart)

Northern Coast
Built as a response to the island’s newfound tourism industry, the Northern Coast offered adrenaline rushes for the adventurous spirit. With a zipline attraction and bike trails of varying difficulties, it proved to be especially lucrative. Now that the island has been abandoned and nature has moved in to take it back, it can prove difficult to actually find the attractions among the thick foliage. Even if one manages, it probably wouldn’t be wise to test them out, given their general state of disrepair, though the zipline does remain standing.


 * Danger Zone: Day 6 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Daniel Whitten (Lying on the bike path, bullet wound in head)
 * Luca Johanssen (Lying at bottom of zipline platform, bullet wound in stomach)
 * Tessa Blackridge (In a maintenance shed near the bike path, head exploded off)
 * Rose Matheson (Lying near the zipline, stab wound in torso)
 * Michael Eastmund (Lying facedown near the zipline, blow to the back of the head)

Lighthouse Point
The lighthouse became little more than a decoration following the construction of the airstrip, beckoning for ships that never came. Turned into a museum of sorts sometime after the tourism boom, it became a popular stop for those eager to learn about its history on the island, containing preserved living quarters roped off from the public. Rumor has it that the Captain’s Cliffs outside served as a hot spot for those unhappy with the island life, but that’s just a rumor. The real killer is the nasty undertow in the waters below.


 * Danger Zone: Day 3, Day 5, Day 7 (permanent Danger Zone)


 * Bodies:
 * Dave Russell (At the bottom of the     cliff)
 * Dan Liu       (In a watery grave)
 * Michael Whaley (Lying in the lighthouse, throat slit by glass)
 * Clayton Leven (Lying at the cove near the lighthouse, head exploded off)
 * Gwen O'Connor (In a watery grave)
 * Cassidy Kant (Collapsed outside a shed, multiple gunshot wounds)
 * Garrett Wilde (Facedown on the Captain's Cliffs, stab wound in back)
