The Purpose of the Experiments — Poppy Playtime Walkthrough

Curious about the experiments in Poppy Playtime? We break down Playtime Co.'s bizarre projects, from reviving organisms with poppy gel to creating the Bigger Bodies and The Prototype.

Alright, let's dive into the creepy world of Playtime Co.'s experiments. You'll find out what these folks were really up to in that factory, and trust me, it's not pretty. Basically, Playtime Co. started these experiments to see if they could bring things back to life, or change them, using poppies or stuff made from them. Some tried on organisms, and some just didn't work out – the subjects stayed dead. But, some experiments actually succeeded. Later on, they started creating these giant, biological toys called Bigger Bodies. The idea was to have them do free labor. Dr. Harley Sawyer was in charge of this until he became an experiment himself. After The Hour of Joy, The Prototype started running his own experiments. Most of these experiments, including the Bigger Bodies, end up being your enemies or bosses throughout Poppy Playtime. But, not all of them are bad! Some are actually friendly, like Kissy Missy, Giblet, or even Poppy Playtime herself. This guide covers most of the known experiments, but we'll skip the really minor ones with hardly any info. ## Numbered Playtime Experiments Here's a look at some of the specific numbered experiments: * Experiment 814: This was a rat that Elliot Ludwig tried to revive using poppy gel. Sadly, it didn't work, and the rat stayed unresponsive. This led Elliot to think about using bigger subjects for better results. * Experiment 1006 (The Prototype): This is a big one! Experiment 1006 was a male test subject named Oliver, who eventually became The Prototype. He's this huge, jester-like creature with sharp claws and spider-like legs. They don't say exactly how they made him, but he was meant to be the perfect vessel for what Playtime Co. wanted. He could even take parts from other experiments to gain their abilities. * Experiment 1007 (Poppy Playtime): This was a female test subject named Poppy Ludwig, who became the Poppy Playtime you know. Elliot Ludwig conducted this experiment.
