The placement of the rooms are determined by the player movements, and by walking through a doorway with no room on the other side, a player will discover a new room in that area. When the room-pile is emptied, the rooms put to the side are shuffled into a new pile.Д®ach room has a set number of doors, and any new rooms added to the board must be placed in such a way so that the rooms are connected by doorways. If a new room is discovered, the player discovering the room draws a room from the room-pile, and if the room canвЂ™t be placed on the floor the player is on, the tile is put to the side and another is drawn until the player gets a room that fit the floor. What floor the room is restricted to is indicated on the back of the room-tile.

Some rooms may be placed on any of the mansions three floors (the Upper floor, the Ground floor or in the Basement), but most of the rooms are restricted to a specific floor. In the beginning of the game, the board always consist of three specific tiles the ground floor tile containing the Entrance Hall, the Foyer and the Grand Staircase вЂ“ which is the only tile containing more than one room вЂ“ the Upper Landing on the upper floor, and the Basement Landing in the basement.Д®ach room has a name, which is important as some rooms have items (described under Cards) related to them, and as the name of the room that the Haunt is revealed in (described under The Haunt phase) can determine what Haunt scenario is played during this session. The room-tiles are placed in a shuffled pile, with the back up so that the rooms arenвЂ™t visible, from which the players draw rooms when discovering new areas.

Unlike most other board games, Betrayal at House on the Hill doesnвЂ™t have a large board with set rooms, but instead the board is made up of individual rooms that are discovered by the players as they move through the mansion. The game board is made up of many individual rooms. The fight between the players can however be quite different between play sessions, depending on what different rooms and items that have been discovered, as there are a number of different scenarios that affect the goals of all players. Whilst exploring the house one player suddenly turns into a traitor, sometimes gaining control of monsters, and the game turns from exploring to a fight for survival between the traitor and the rest of the players. The scenario is that the players are a group of explorers, exploring an old haunted house. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a very narrative-based board game for 3-6 players of ages 12 and older.
