## What is AI Labz?

Build intelligence. Contain what you create.

Your lab starts small: one training cluster, a power plant and a single AI. Train a model and it earns credits every second, even while you're away. But capability is risk. The smarter it gets, the more likely it is to turn on you.

YOUR LAB NEVER STOPS
Credits and research pile up while the game is closed. Come back after a long day and collect everything your models made without you. Offline progress is real progress.

TRAIN AI WORTH THE RISK
Every model has its own generation, traits and risk: safe workhorses for steady income, or volatile ones that pay big and fail spectacularly. Merge duplicates into stronger models, all the way to level 10.

INCIDENTS, AND THEY GET WORSE
When a model misbehaves, you investigate, then solve a hands-on puzzle tied to that exact failure to contain it. Every board is generated fresh across a dozen puzzle machines, so no two incidents play the same.

Leave one too long and the model escapes. An escaped AI stops earning and raises lab threat until you hunt it down and recapture it. Fail, and a veteran comes home weaker. A level-1 model is gone for good.

EXPAND THE FACILITY
Unlock new land and fill it with security systems, sandboxes and containment vaults. New sectors open stronger AI architectures, so growing your footprint is how you reach what comes next.

PRESTIGE AND CLIMB AGAIN
Reach the Epoch Gate and start a new run: keep your prestige models and permanent perks, and climb again, stronger. Every prestige adds 100 to your lab level, so everyone can see how far you've gone.

COMPETE EVERY WEEK
Climb the weekly leaderboard for prizes, or fly a drone in the Arcade and wall in a runaway AI for the week's best score. Sacrifice veteran models at the Legacy Hall, and dress your lab in skins and map themes.

WHAT'S INSIDE
- True offline progression
- A growing roster of AI models with distinct traits and risk
- Merge models up to level 10
- Procedural puzzle incidents: investigate, solve, contain
- Escapes and high-stakes recaptures
- Prestige with permanent perks
- Weekly leaderboard and Arcade mode
- Research, territory expansion and daily goals

Free to play start to finish. Optional rewarded ads give boosts when you want them. AI LAB PRO removes interstitial ads, lets you claim most boosts without watching, and halves training cooldowns.

Build intelligence. Contain what you create. How far will you push it?

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.2 — 2026-10-23

- Level up twice as fast! Every incident you contain, every model you train and every training you win now pays double lab XP. Drones in the sky now all carry XP too, so tapping them pushes you up the ladder much faster.

- Your lab level now shows how far you've come. Each prestige adds 100 to the number, so a Prestige 3 lab at level 42 reads 342, and there's no cap. Your rank on the leaderboard and on your HUD shows every run you've survived.

- Every prestige run is a brand-new challenge. Buildings, land and model unlocks cost more each time you prestige, so a fresh run never runs out of things to buy, and getting your lab back to the top means something every time.

- New labs start with double the research, so your first model training is ready right away. Training costs now climb evenly from your first model to your last, and prestige models are priced in steps along the way.

- The Legacy Hall now shows exactly how much lab XP a sacrifice will earn, right next to its credits, so you can see the full reward before you give up a model.

- Fixed an issue where the prestige ring around a player's level badge on the leaderboard was squashed under the badge. It now shows at full size.

Thanks for playing!

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-23

- Escaped models now fight back. When you chase one down it blinks away, throws out decoys and raises shields, across five different containment rooms, and it talks back the whole time. Land the final latch and watch the capture play out in slow motion.
- Prestige models are simpler and stronger. Fuse pairs all the way to level 10 with credits, just like every other model, and run as many as you have slots for. Their levels stay with you through every prestige.
- Aurora is gone and Cores take its place. Any Aurora you held has been turned into Cores automatically, and you'll see exactly how many the moment you open your lab. Bundles and leaderboard prizes now pay Cores too.
- The sky is busier: drones swarm in from eight directions, up to seven at a time, so there's always something to tap.
- Free Play now flows straight from level to level with no popups in the way, and your winnings pay out in one go at the end of the run.
- The lab level track is brighter and pays more credits, and passing a training or sacrificing a model at the Legacy Hall now earns lab XP.
- The Epoch Gate has a fresh new look.
Thanks for playing!

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-21

Prestige just got a lot deeper.

- Climb to Prestige 10. Every rank earns a new machined badge around your level, from steel through Epoch lime and Aurora to gold, and it shows next to your name on the leaderboards.
- Every prestige pays more. Run one more prestige model per rank, start each new run with extra research and credits, and pick from new perks: Research speed pours more research out of every incident and training, and Lab XP gets you to level 100 faster.
- Rank rewards worth chasing. Unlock the Seam Steel skin at Prestige 3, the new AXIOM-171 model at Prestige 5, the Epoch Rite night map at Prestige 7, and the crowned EPOCH-200 at Prestige 10. The Epoch Gate itself grows grander as you climb.
- Fuse your models all the way to level 10, and offer your finest at the new Legacy Hall altar.
- A cleaner lab. Chips and power are gone: fusing now costs credits, and the Power Plant is a pure credit engine.
- The Quantum Annealer builds model copies for you, so fusing up never stalls.
- Free Play: jump into any puzzle board you like as an endless run of levels that gets tougher as you go.

Thanks for playing!

### 1.3.5 — 2026-10-15

NEW IN THIS UPDATE
• Map Themes: restyle your whole lab from the Store. Frost Station, Desert Outpost, Neon Grid, Jungle Ruins and Mars Colony
• Redesigned leaderboards with level badges and a champion banner
• Training reworked: a full-screen brief and a bigger win moment
• Lost a board? You can now retry it
• Runaway shuffles its models every run and pays Aurora every 4 contains
• New News inbox, so you never miss an update or maintenance
• Screens now fit every phone size and large system text

### 1.2.6 — 2026-10-13

- Visit other labs! Tap any lab's name on the leaderboard and step inside their base. See how they placed their buildings, which models they run and the skins they wear, then borrow ideas from the best labs in the world.
- Runaway is fairer and fresher. Every AI you contain now wins you back a life, the difficulty climbs smoothly instead of hitting a wall, and every run rolls its own levels, so no two runs play the same. The Arcade now opens right after the tutorial, and every full loop of the roster pays Aurora.
- A map worth exploring. Locked lands now appear as real islands drifting under fog, with a gold padlock on the next one you can buy, so you always know where you're expanding next. The map also runs smoother: no more flickering shadows and far less lag when you zoom out.
- Research has its own full screen. Clear branch tabs, easy-to-read cards and an upgrade button that stays in reach make planning your next breakthrough quick.
- Prestige hits harder. Your prestige perks now multiply on top of everything else, the offline perk pays out every time you come back, and your active boosts show right on the top bar.
- Bigger prizes. Leaderboard and Megabreach rewards now pay Aurora, the same amount for every lab, and model packs can be bought with Cores.
- Smoother everywhere. Ad buttons tell you when an ad is still loading instead of failing on tap, the welcome-back screen shows your away rate so you know how to raise it, big numbers read cleanly as 3.2K, and the win screen fits on one page.
Thanks for playing!
