Ours tend to stay round the edges of the room - go under the stairs, behind the sofa. I think they are less interested in toys when free roaming but like to have something to go under or behind (Newt liked to sit behind our laptop trays which are propped up against the wall). Some of it depends on the hamster. Newt would go anywhere and wasn't scared of anything. Current two tend to stay near one end of the room - not scared but like the darker area. They are very much in foraging mode when free roaming and will pouch anything so check the floors first. Scattering the odd treat would be fun for them to find. The also seem to pick the grungiest bits they can find! Embarrassing when they end up with a cobweb on their head.
