Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Security Clearance Level: 3

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX has been removed from the original kindergarten facility in [REDACTED] and fully reconstructed within a standard 12 m x 12 m containment chamber at Site-██. All original elements (walls, flooring, toys, furniture) have been arranged precisely as found. The room is to be monitored through one-way bulletproof glass. Personnel are not permitted to enter SCP-XXXX except for approved experiments involving D-Class or cognitively tested juvenile subjects.
Entry points must remain electronically locked at all times. Should a child within SCP-XXXX manifest "special powers," immediate sedation protocols are to be enacted, and termination authorized if necessary. The use of amnestics or SCP-based memory alteration requires prior approval.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a fully furnished children's playroom, originally discovered in a kindergarten in [REDACTED], measuring 10 m x 10 m x 10 m. The room contains a variety of typical children's toys, including plastic weapons, toy armor, capes, cardboard crowns, action figures, rockets, and costumes.
Anomalous effects occur only when at least two human subjects under the age of 12 (or developmentally delayed individuals exhibiting comparable behavior) are present simultaneously. Once the subjects begin imaginative roleplay, their fictional "powers" may manifest lethally—though only within the context of the imagined narrative.
Toys do not physically change, but still exhibit deadly effects (e.g., a visibly plastic toy gun may fatally shoot someone). The boundary between reality and imagination is completely blurred for the involved children.
Upon a "victory" in the narrative, the winning child often displays signs of psychological fulfillment or a sense of righteous justice. Following any incident, subjects are treated with amnestics—with inconsistent success. Termination has been required in multiple cases.

Discovery Log:
SCP-XXXX came to the Foundation's attention on ██/██/20██ when a child fatally "shot" another during play with a visibly non-functional toy pistol. The surviving child stated, "I destroyed the evil." After administering Class-B amnestics to all witnesses (including parents) and shutting down the kindergarten under the pretense of a gas leak, SCP-XXXX was secured.

Experiment Log – SCP-XXXX
Experiment A-1
Subjects: Two D-Class personnel
Result: No anomalous activity after three hours. All toys remained inert. One D-Class subject reported a "nostalgic, childlike feeling." No further effects observed.
—-
Experiment A-2
Subjects: One male child (age 7), one D-Class personnel
Result: The child willingly played the "hero"; the D-Class was assigned the role of the "villain." No physical anomalies occurred. Toys remained inert. D-Class expressed boredom.
—-
Experiment A-3
Subjects: Two children (male 6, female 8)
Roles: "Fire Queen" vs. "Super Cowboy"
Result: The boy’s plastic weapon caused actual gunfire. The girl emitted real flames from her hands. Evacuation attempts failed—children were unresponsive. The boy died from burns. Amnestics were ineffective on the girl. Subject was terminated.
—-
Experiment A-4
Subjects: One boy (9) and one cognitively impaired D-Class
Roles: "Knight" vs. "Wizard"
Result: The child killed the D-Class with a plastic sword. The child then breached containment, killed three security personnel and Dr. [REDACTED] before being terminated.
—-
Experiment A-5
Subjects: Infant, girl (age 5), puppy
Roles: Girl: "Witch" / Puppy: presumed "Laser Dog"
Result: Puppy killed by an energy blast. Girl showed extreme resistance to termination. Termination was successful only via deployment of SCP-076 (Abel). The infant remained unharmed and non-anomalous.
—-
Experiment A-6
Subjects: Boy (age 7, prior SCP-XXXX exposure), girl (age 8)
Roles: Girl: "Flower Girl" / Boy: "Dragon Hybrid"
Result: The boy refused to participate but was forcibly placed inside. Within seconds, his body disintegrated into dust. The dust formed a new toy weapon. Girl was terminated.

Closing Statement by Dr. ██████:
“This room manifests the fantasy and moral structures of children in lethal form. The question isn't if they'll become dangerous, but when they believe they're right. And when a child believes they're the hero… they'll kill anything in their way.”
