About Labberdash
Somewhere behind the water heater, a closet is quietly becoming a datacenter. LabberDash is a comedic idle/tycoon game about secretly building an absurd homelab — one Raspberry Pi, one NAS, one suspiciously large Amazon box at a time — while keeping your spouse none the wiser. Think Papers, Please meets r/homelab. WATCH THE SUS METER Every loud fan, hot server, and unexplained package raises your spouse's suspicion. Let it climb too high and you'll face a Spouse Encounter — play your Alibi cards ("it's for work," "it's a tax write-off") to talk your way out before disaster hits. MANAGE A REAL POWER BUDGET Your circuit has real limits. Overload it and you'll trip the breaker, killing every server at once. Panel upgrades and a Solar tier raise your headroom — and quietly launder your habit while you're at it. BUILD AN ABSURD HARDWARE CATALOG Grow from a single Pi to a full rack: NAS storage, a media server, a crypto rig, a virtualization host, and more — each individually upgradeable, each with its own power draw, noise, and Sus cost. BALANCE THE HOUSE Not every purchase has to be LabberTech. DomestiTech gear — smart plugs, video doorbells, robot vacuums — lowers Sus and keeps the peace, if you're willing to spend Compute on looking responsible. No pay-to-win, no forced ads, no loot boxes — everything in LabberDash is earn-able through normal play. Optional in-app purchases and rewarded video ads are there if you want to speed things up, never because you have to. Can you go from one Pi to a full rack without ending up on the couch?
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated September 29, 2026
No more timed full-screen ads. LabberDash now only shows a video when you ask for one. The Early Adopter Bonus has wrapped up, so Damage Control, Extended Warranty, Go Ghost, Smooth Things Over and video repairs are back to a short optional video. Ad-Free is back on sale in Settings: it makes all of them one tap, for life. Thanks for playing. Keep the reports coming.
