'''RigRug''' (also formatted as '''Rig Rug''') is a home-improvement themed game by [[Videlectrix]]. Players control Handyman Jorge, restoring hardwood floors in homes. The title is a reference to [[Namco]]'s ''[[Dig Dug]]''.

The game initially was only mentioned throughout [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]], appearing as a console and stand-up arcade game. A 2024 update to ''Triungulate'' added a playable version of RigRug, accessible after completing [[Roomisode 2]].

If an item is used on the rug in the Triungulate version of [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]], [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] will say he doesn't need to rig the rug with that, but that he would like to play some "Rig Rug".

The game plays a major part in [[Dangeresque Roomisode 2: The Intersection of Doom & Boom]], in which a suspiciously [[Homeschool Winner]]-like [[Silhouettes|silhouette]] can be seen through a bar window, playing the game on an [[Stand-Up Arcade Games|arcade machine]]. Dangeresque tells them to press the Player 2 button on the stage select screen, which shuts the game off and alerts the Feds. This is necessary to shut off all the power in the bar, allowing the electrician (played by [[Strong Sad]]) to finish repairing a fuse.

In the postgame sequence of [[Dangeresque Roomisode 3: Keep My Enemies, Loser]], [[Dangeresque Too]] can find the home console version of Rig Rug, giving a [[Dangeresque Roomisode 3: Keep My Enemies, Loser|description of the game]]: "Help Handyman Jorge renovate vintage homes by tearing up rugs before the evil [[Robots|General Contractor-Bot]] blands things up with beige paint and wall to wall carpeting." This is the first time Handyman Jorge is introduced by name. He is depicted as a bearded [[Normal-Human Characters|human]] with a backwards green cap.

On [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2023|September 9, 2023]], the [[@StrongBadActual]] account posted a video of a playable RigRug that was considered for a future update to the Triungulate. RigRug was added in a June 27, 2024 update to the game.

* Character dialogue in The Roomisode Triungulate refers to the game as "Rig Rug", with a space. However, every description of the playable game — in menus, storefront updates, and tweets — uses the camel case "RigRug".
* The box art prints "RiGRUG" with a [[Lowercase i|lowercase i]].
* Extra lives are referred to as [[Mans|mans]].
* The first level's address is Figgis, a street name previously seen on the [[Email]] page, in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]], and on the [[Thorax Corporation]] site.
