Neither. The Bible tells us where they went at Genesis 3:19--"In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”
Where does it say they went? They returned to the ground and became dust. Hell is mankinds common grave and that is where they were buried, but nowhere are we told that they were burned in a fiery place or tortured forever. Their punishment was death only, and do the dead feel anything? Well, let's read what the Bible says about that at Psalms 146:4--"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish." Also read Ecclesiastes 9:5,10
That is what happened to Adam and Eve and that is what happens when anyone dies.
It is comforting to know that God does not torture anyone after death. In fact, once someone dies, unless they are willfully rebellious (like our first parents who have no hope of a resurrection)) their sins are paid for. This we find at Romans 6:23---"For the wages of sin is death_"

Here is a serious answer:

Before Jesus, nobody went to Heaven - the Jewish religion does not have set beliefs about the existence of a Heaven or Hell. The Gospel is good news because Jesus forgived us of our sins, thus allowing us to absolve original sin and finally be reunited with God.

During the 3 days Jesus was dead, he "went down to Hades and released those who were held captive there." So probably Adam and Eve ended up in Heaven.

Neither.
No one is in Heaven except Jesus (John 3:13, Prov 30:4)
and no one is in hell yet (2 Peter 2:3, John 16:8, Daniel 12:2).
For there will be a resurrection of both the wicked and the righteous (Dan.12:2; cf. Is.26:19; Jn.5:28-29; Rev.20
So, those passed on are sleeping, until the 2nd coming of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"
The Bible speaks of different Heavens (3 in 2 Cor 12:2) and "heavenS" (plural) is referred to MANY times throughout the Bible! So, there are different realms than an earth, Heaven and hell.
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

The question could be, are they at rest in the presence of God, or no?
I wish I knew- only God knows.
I'll just concentrate on where I plan on going when I pass on! lol Hopefully, I will be raptured before that, though!

Neither, only those Born Again of the Holy Spirit go to heaven, and the Holy Spirit was not pour out for this purpose until after Christ died. Not even the men hanging beside Jesus were Born Again.

Did they go to Hell? Yes, everybody does when they die, even Jesus did. Of course, there are no words in the oldest scrolls that translate as hell or hell fire, just the grave. Jesus could do nothing during the three days he was in the grave, not even visit the fallen angels to pass judgment, which he did after he was raised, but before ascending to Heaven. Now if he could do nothing but sleep in the grave, how would it be any different for anyone else, until the first or second resurrection. As to whether they will be resurrected, or anyone is, that is not for us to say. That is a matter left up to God. Even to speculate on it means you are putting yourself on a level equal to God. The only thing that is needed to know is that everyone dies, and the time will come when they may be resurrected to either immortal life during the rapture, everlasting life after Armageddon, or judgment of what is found in their heart of hearts.

Both. Before Heaven opened up, ALL of the Patriarchs were in what the Greeks called Elysium, which was a part of Hell, or Hades. Once Jesus completed His Sacrifice, He opend the gates of Hell and allowed the righteous dead into Heaven. A&E made one mistake, for which they were sorry. Just like everyone else there. Remember, King David was a murderer, as was Moses. They got in, so A&E should have as well.

Heaven... Because when Jesus died on the cross, He forgave those people who have sinned. And that included people from the past. And I think Adam and Eve are included.

I can't judge, but based on the covenant of sacrifice God made with them after banishing them from the Garden, if they continued in this practice and kept themselves free from sin from those days forward, I would be inclined to believe that they'd get into Heaven. If God hadn't shown them the only acceptable covering for sin was blood of a sacrifice, they would've died in their sins and been charged with the destruction of all mankind in Hell!

Neither. The bible says that the dead are consceince of nothing at all - Ecc. 9: 5, 10 so.....dead people are just sleeping.

Adam made a big mistake. If it was not for him we would all be living in perfect conditions. Someday we will be - god promises that

I really couldn't give you a truthful answer. But figure that they both did something very disappointing. I don't think they went to Hades nor to Heaven. Wish I knew.

Gehenna--eternal death--they passed the death sentence onto the whole human race---therefore, they murdered everyone, and did not repent, instead Adam blamed God and the woman.
