You can add link buttons to your portfolio or club, room posters, a storefront for your custom shirts, and maybe even a holotar to man your booth when you're not there yourself! Go wild, and be creative, and show off your best works at this expo!

Save your customized booth as an invention, including the UNMERGED booth template. You are not required to publish your booth invention.

  • You cannot resize or clone any part of the booth template!

  • You can decorate however you want within the boundaries of the booth. Objects must not extend past the booth walls at all.

Can I have circuits in my booth?

  • Yes, but keep it simple. Your booth should work as intended when spawned in as an invention. Keep everything local. Audio should not be heard beyond your booth. Mini games are fine but make sure it is local so only the person playing will have the events.

­Can I go over the sides of the template?

Can I link to my own rooms in my booth?
