Secure • Contain • Protect

SCP artifacts pose a significant threat to global security. Various agencies from around the world operate to maintain human independence from extra-terrestrial, extra-dimensional, and extra-universal threat. In the past humankind has been at the whim of these bizarre artifacts and similar phenomena, but we have now reached a point in history where we can begin to control and contain these defiances of natural law.

You are now working for the SCP Foundation. You have no need to understand how or why we operate. What you do need to understand is how vital your mission is.


Observe preternatural phenomena and develop new theories of science based on their observable behavior.
Contain potentially dangerous phenomena.
Develop safety procedures for dealing with all future phenomena.
Observe, detain, and destroy any one or any thing preventing us from accomplishing the above goals.


One of the most essential functions of the Foundation is to compile and consolidate information about artifacts in our possession or scope of influence.

Special Containment Procedures are required for each and every observed phenomenon. It's amongst your top priorities to assist the higher-level officers in the research required for the composition of reports.

Also, it is imperative that these documents never leak to the public. If they are verified and traced back to the source by a party not privy to this information it could spell disaster for the Foundation and all SCP artifacts currently under our control.


Commonly known as 'SPCs', they can be an object, place, person, animal or even an occurrence. They are given an Item# as SCP-XXX and categorized. SCPs are grouped as being 'Safe,' 'Euclid,' or 'Keter' which are classifications that explain expected threat levels.


Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men, and rocks that came to life. So we called them 'gods' and 'demons,' and begged them to spare us and prayed for salvation.

In time, their numbers dwindled and our numbers rose. The world began to make more sense when there were less things to fear. Yet, the unexplained can never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible.

Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear. No one else will protect us, we must stand up for ourselves.

While the rest of mankind dwell in the light, we must stand in the darkness to combat it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane, normal world.

We secure. We contain. We protect.
