Core shelter
Rewards an objective placed away from the edge with nearby supporting tiles.
Original interactive guide app
The Layout Lab
Turn base-building ideas into an abstract plan, complete four design drills, and learn which tradeoffs your structure creates.
Interactive strategy practice
Build a concept. Test the logic.
Place abstract planning tokens on a 9×9 board. The score explains structure and tradeoffs; it does not simulate Clash of Clans combat or predict wins.
Best on this device—
Read the score
Five ideas—not a win probability
Each category is a visible rule-of-thumb. There is no hidden battle engine and no claim that a high score will stop a real attack.
Separation
Rewards distance between premium coverage zones so one route has fewer easy targets.
Balanced reach
Checks whether defensive concepts cover several quadrants instead of one crowded side.
Value spread
Rewards resource concepts distributed across the board rather than stacked together.
Route disruption
Rewards deliberate barriers and trap ideas attached to a predicted path.
Fan-content boundary
Why the lab stays abstract
Supercell's Fan Content Policy says permitted fan content normally includes fan-made online guides and guide apps, while it does not permit creating games based on Supercell assets or characters. The Layout Lab is deliberately an educational guide app built from original shapes and general strategy language.
It contains no Supercell art, characters, sounds, private-server behavior, cheats, automation, virtual currency, purchases, combat recreation, or connection to a game account. Supercell retains authority to interpret and update its policy.
