About Lab Havoc
Lab Havoc is a physics sandbox trap design game developed by 1Games.IO and released in April 2026. Players act as the architect of a damage-dealing experiment: arrange destructive tools inside a closed test chamber, then release a ragdoll test subject and watch the physics play out. The damage output of your layout is measured and converted to currency. Elaborate setups that create combo chains — where the ragdoll is redirected from one trap into another — earn disproportionately more than simple isolated placements.
The trap catalog spans four categories: sharp tools (spikes, saws, rotating blades that cut on contact), energy weapons (lasers and electric fields that activate when the ragdoll enters their zone), explosives (charges and mines that detonate on proximity), and physics manipulators (fans and magnets that redirect the ragdoll's trajectory into other traps). Players purchase and position these tools from a top-down view of the chamber before each experiment run.
The ragdoll reacts with full physics simulation — limbs tumble separately, momentum transfers on each collision, and the path through the chamber is shaped by the force vectors of each trap interaction. This makes outcomes partially predictable (you can plan convergence points and chain sequences) but never fully deterministic. The same layout run twice produces slightly different trajectories due to micro-variations in the physics simulation.
Currency from each experiment funds higher-tier trap unlocks. Advanced traps deal more damage per activation and often have larger activation zones or interaction radii. The progression goal is designing increasingly efficient configurations — maximizing damage output from a fixed chamber space. Players who focus on trap density alone often underperform relative to those who design around natural ragdoll convergence points.
Key Features
- Physics sandbox trap design: place tools before experiments, then observe the ragdoll interact with full physics simulation
- Four trap categories: sharp tools, energy weapons, explosives, and physics manipulators that redirect ragdoll trajectory
- Combo-chain design reward: sequential trap interactions earn disproportionately more currency than isolated placements
- Semi-deterministic ragdoll physics — general paths are predictable for planning, but micro-variations make each run slightly different
- Currency-funded trap unlock progression toward higher-tier, larger activation-zone tools

How to Play
- 1Open the trap catalog and select tools from available categories. Your currency determines which traps are unlocked — start with spike and laser placements in the early game.
- 2Drag traps into the test chamber and position them. Think about where the ragdoll will naturally travel when released — momentum carries it forward and downward initially, then physics interactions redirect it.
- 3Design for chain reactions rather than isolated hits. Position a spike to send the ragdoll into a laser zone, which redirects it into an explosive cluster — each additional interaction multiplies total damage output.
- 4Click Start. The ragdoll is released and the experiment runs automatically. Watch the path carefully — it reveals whether your chain sequence executed and where the ragdoll's momentum died before triggering the next trap.
- 5Collect currency from the experiment result and invest in the next trap tier. Higher-tier traps deal more damage per activation and cover larger zones — they make chains more reliable to trigger consistently.
Tips & Tricks
- Place traps at natural convergence points — locations where the ragdoll's momentum will carry it based on the chamber's starting drop point. A trap the ragdoll never reaches earns nothing regardless of its damage stat.
- Physics manipulators (fans and magnets) are underrated early on. Positioned correctly, they redirect the ragdoll into damage zones it would otherwise miss, converting dead areas of the chamber into active chain links.
- Leave space between traps rather than clustering them. Overlapping activation zones can cancel each other — a ragdoll hitting two traps simultaneously may ricochet unpredictably out of your planned chain route.
- Run the same configuration two or three times to observe path variation. Small differences in which limbs hit what first change subsequent bounce directions — use these observations to adjust placement.

FAQ
No. Once you click Start, the ragdoll is released and the experiment runs entirely on physics simulation. All player interaction happens before the experiment during the trap placement phase.
The game rewards multi-trap interactions with multiplied currency because they reflect more efficient chamber design. A ragdoll that triggers five traps in sequence produces proportionally more damage output than one that hits a single trap and exits the chamber.
Not exactly. The ragdoll uses full physics simulation, so micro-variations in contact angles produce slightly different trajectories each run from the same layout. General behavior is predictable enough for planning, but the exact path changes between experiments.
Sharp tools (spikes and saws) cover a wide activation zone and deal consistent damage — reliable early unlocks. Once you can afford physics manipulators, adding one fan or magnet per run significantly improves chain efficiency by redirecting the ragdoll into zones it would otherwise miss.
