One Room, Bone Room, Two Rooms.
Following a proven pattern (not including the Half-Life: Alyx One Room challenge), Map Labs has unpredictably expanded to Three Rooms with this Test Tube competition! The entrants were technically limited to three rooms, but there’s also some trickery at work in some of the maps here. Enjoy the 21 entries!

This release combines two Map Labs Test Tubes (short challenges). Unfortunately, one of them only received one entry so it was combined with the larger Test Tube.
A Place in the West, as the title suggests, simply asked authors to build a map based on the popular comic Half-Life: A Place in the West, which depicts life in America under the Combine.
The Wrap-Up Two! – much in the vein of The Wrap-Up! – allowed mappers to choose any previous Map Labs theme and enter. Finish an abandoned project, remaster a previous map, or make a brand new map; all were acceptable as long as the map fit one of the Map Labs themes. Nine maps were submitted.
Enjoy this double feature!

This unique challenge allowed mappers to tidy up an unreleased or unfinished map – or make a totally new one – for any of Map Labs’s previous themes [even at the time, that was a whopping 23 themes to pick from!]. But being a Test Tube, time was really limited – this challenge only ran for 10 days.
Here are the wrapped-up and entered maps – enjoy the solid 19 maps in The Wrap-Up!

Here is another “Atom” (24-hour map jam) run by Map Labs. This time, the prompt was simple: make a map inspired by a song.
Here are the entries – a massive 28 maps were received! Enjoy!

This Test Tube (short competition) challenged authors to create a blockout rather than a full map. Rough geometry, developer textures, the works – the idea being that by prototyping, testing, and refining the gameplay rather than the visuals, overall development of a level can be smoother and require less reworking. And maps in development can still be a blast!
Enjoy the 13 submissions and 3 bonus maps!
