What is the name of the training area in the original Tomb Raider game?

The training area in the original Tomb Raider game is called Lara’s home.

Lara’s home is the introductory practice level in the 1996 game. It allows players to learn movement, jumping, climbing, swimming, shooting, and other controls before beginning the main archaeological adventure. The area is presented as Lara Croft’s residence and includes a course built into the property.

The training level is notable because it introduces the character’s setting without immediately placing the player in a dangerous tomb. It also became an early example of a tutorial space integrated into a game world rather than presented as a separate abstract menu.

Later Tomb Raider games use more formal names such as Croft Manor for Lara’s family estate and training environment. Those terms are often applied retrospectively to the first game, but the original title’s training area is commonly identified as Lara’s home.
