Prototype lab / 08 builds
Eight ideas you can open.
Four games, two useful tools, one live audio experiment and one physics simulation. All eight open in a new tab; the two tools are private previews, so their working apps need an approved account.
The collection
Browse by what it does.
Play a game, look around a tool or run a live experiment. Each card opens the build in a new tab.

Idea to first feedback
Time to a first look.
One published agency process puts first concepts three to five weeks in. One recorded prototype took three hours of work to reach a first working version. That’s one example, and it isn’t typical.

Paid media problem? Start with an independent audit.
These builds are studio projects. If the problem is your ad account, that’s an audit.
Brief an auditWhy prototype
An idea changes when it has controls.
A prototype gives people something to react to. Weak assumptions show up early, and good ideas find their shape.
