Experiment 814 is a document found in Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web" of Poppy Playtime. It serves no purpose in completing the game, however, may be linked to a part of the lore. After obtained from Elliot Ludwig's Office, the document covers a rat being experimented on, but dies during the process.
Location[]
Obtaining[]
After obtaining the Poppy Key and opening Elliot Ludwig's Office, The Player can find the document sitting on his desk alongside the Brown VHS Tape and the Daisy Trophy.
Plot[]
The Experiment 814 document shows Elliot Ludwig documenting what happened during a span of time after putting a dead rat inside a unknown poppy gel. The test subject ends up being unresponsive, and the documented events have failed. Elliot Ludwig also writes an analysis on how he still sees potential with the gel, even after countless failures. Its "unusual properties" had also encouraged Ludwig. The note ends with Ludwig questioning if something larger, like a human, were to be experimented with this Poppy Gel.

Experiment 814[]
notes:[]
- This experiment utilized a live rat.
- Rat was fed 3 portions daily for 2 weeks.
- At the end of the two weeks, the rat was killed and submerged into a poppy flower and preservative gel mixture.
- 1 week later, an electric shock was applied to the rat (still in the gel) in an attempt to revive it.
- The rat remained unresponsive.
Analysis:[]
I still believe in the potential of the poppy flower. Its unusual properties lead me to believe that the proper mixture and procedure could have life altering properties. The poppy flower has for a long time carried heavy symbolism, and I don't believe that's for no reason. Perhaps something larger than a rat would yield different results.
Trivia[]
- It is presumed that Elliot Ludwig kept attempting to use this gel to revive the toys that would become monsters later on.
- It is unknown when the 814th experiment took place, since the document contains no signature and note of date.
- Elliot Ludwig may have conducted the experiment at least 814 times according to the title, which would show Ludwig's dedication to his work.
- Alternatively, it could just be that this was the 814th experiment Ludwig did at the time of him writing the paper, although he still may have done it more than once as "I still believe" implies he had done it before.
