How we rebuilt our office lab in FigJam for fun and creative digital workshops
summary
A full office lab gets reconstructed inside FigJam as a reusable LabKit components system with variants (cups with logos, movable pallets, lamp states), horizontal and vertical rooms, and scalable whiteboards that host workshop output. Built plug‑ins include a Flippy Bird arcade and the SoundDot widget for object audio. The MVP runs live: participants duplicate objects, play mini‑games, find an easter‑goose, show fewer distractions and higher attention, and report stronger participation and memorable shared context.
