The Experiments were projects of Playtime Co., initially conducted to see if poppies (or poppy based materials) could revive, or transform organisms. Some experiments failed, with the organisms remaining unresponsive, but some succeeded. Later, biological giant toys and other toy creatures were created by Dr. Harley Sawyer (until he became an experiment himself) to provide free labor and these creatures were known as Bigger Bodies.
This article contains information on all the known experiments that Playtime Co. created, including ones from the Bigger Bodies Initiative and those created prior.
Experiment 814 was the 814th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 814 was a rat that was killed then submerged in poppy gel to prove that organisms could be revived with the use of poppy flowers. Once they had attempted to revive the rat, it remained unresponsive. After completing this procedure, the author of the experiment report had the thought of using a larger organism to get better results.
Experiment 1006 was the 1006th experiment conducted by Playtime Co., having been created sometime before or during 1989. Experiment 1006 was a male test subject who later became known as The Prototype, a mysterious entity with an unprecedented amount of intelligence and an interest for violence. The steps done to create this experiment are unknown, but he ended up succeeding as the "prime example for the type of vessel [Playtime Co.] were trying to create."
Experiment 1007 was the 1007th experiment conducted by Playtime Co., most likely having been created around 1989. They were the next experiment following The Prototype, possibly meaning they possess similarities to their predecessor.
Experiment 1015[]
Experiment 1015 was the 1015th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. and the first known experiment created by Harley Sawyer. The identity of Experiment 1015 is currently unknown. It was deemed a failure, as it showed little brain function following the procedure.
Experiment 1026[]
Experiment 1026 was the 1026th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. The identity of Experiment 1026 is currently unknown. Following the procedure, 1026 was alive for a total of 45 minutes, but only during three of those minutes did it display awareness of its surroundings.
Experiment 1160[]
Experiment 1160 was the 1160th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. and also the first successful Bigger Bodies Initiative experiment. Experiment 1160 was a test subject who was placed into a large version of the toy known as Boxy Boo. Experiment 1160 is a box-shaped figure with springs connecting to his body. His role in the initiative was to deal with any potential liabilities that the company needed to eradicate.
Experiment 1163 was the 1163rd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1163 was a test subject who was placed into a large version of the toy known as Pianosaurus. Experiment 1163 is a large green bipedal dinosaur that has a piano-like gaping mouth and rainbow-colored spikes along his back. He acted aggressive towards anything that came near him and had an acute lack of motor coordination, leading to him being reassigned for "testing".
Experiment 1166 was the 1166th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1166 was a male test subject known as Quinn Navidson who was placed into a large version of the toy known as Yarnaby. Experiment 1166 is a large anthropomorphic lion that has a rainbow-colored mane and a face that opens in two with a gaping mouth inside. This experiment was swift, agile and strong, showed little hostility towards the staff and was fiercely loyal towards Harley Sawyer after isolation sessions. Upon Sawyer's "removal", Yarnaby fell into a deep depression.
Experiment 1170 was the 1170th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1170 was a test subject who was placed into a large version of the toy known as Huggy Wuggy. Experiment 1170 is a tall, slender creature with blue fur. This experiment was known to be the optimal outcome for the Initiative as he was highly obedient, and could react aggressively when faced with hostility. This experiment worked as an undercover security guard in the Lobby.
Experiment 1172 was the 1172nd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. She was a female test subject placed into an unknown toy, implied to be Kissy Missy.
Experiment 1174[]
Experiment 1174 was the 1174th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1174 was a test subject placed into a large version of the toy known as PJ Pug-a-Pillar. This toy's role in the initiative was to serve as an obstacle in the Statues game being held in the Game Station.
Experiment 1176 was the 1176th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1176 was a male test subject placed into a large version of the toy known as Bunzo Bunny. This toy's role in the initiative was to serve as an obstacle in the Musical Memory game being held in the Game Station.
Experiment 1186 was the 1186th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1186 was a female test subject who was placed into a large version of the toy known as Bobby BearHug. Experiment 1186 is a large, red anthropomorphic bear with white pupils and a gaping mouth. This experiment showed worrying problems after awakening, such as continued spasms, inability to speak or hear, and balance issues when trying to stand.
Experiment 1187 was the 1187th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. The identity of Experiment 1187 is currently unknown, but it is likely that they were made to be a Bigger Bodies Smiling Critters experiment. Alongside Experiment 1186, Experiment 1187 was adjusted to a 3:1 mixture of another unspecified species.
Experiment 1188[]
Experiment 1188 was the 1188th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1188 was a male test subject known as Theodore Grambell who was placed into a large version of the toy known as CatNap. Experiment 1188 is a large, purple, anthropomorphic cat with white pupils and a gaping mouth. This experiment worshiped and idolized The Prototype like a god and followed him, punishing those who went against his beliefs. This experiment was made for the Bigger Bodies Initiative and to put the children at Playcare to sleep using the Red Smoke.
Experiment 1198 was the 1198th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1198 was presumably made from a female test subject known as Jane Ellswin who was placed into a presumed large version of the toy known as Rabie Baby.
Experiment 1199[]
Experiment 1199 was the 1199th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1199 was a male test subject known as Thomas Clarke who was placed into a toy size version of the toy known as Bron. Experiment 1199 is a small red dinosaur with realistic eyes. Not much is known about his personality, but upon the completion of the procedure, Experiment 1199 was completely clueless as to what was going on. Thomas Clarke was an employee that volunteered for an experiment as his life was going to end in the near future due to a terminal lung cancer diagnosis, but once he was placed with the other experiments, they knew that he was different and then attacked him, so he was placed into confinement for his safety.
Experiment 1202 was the 1202nd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Currently, the appearance of Experiment 1202 is unknown, but their experiment was made for a role that also remains unknown.
Experiment 1222 was the 1222nd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1222 was a female test subject known as Marie Payne who was placed into a large version of the toy known as Mommy Long Legs. Experiment 1222 is a large, slender creature with an uncanny resemblance to a pink-colored spider with extendable limbs. She was extremely hostile towards employees, but treated children with motherly love as if they were her actual children. This experiment was made for the Bigger Bodies Initiative and helped escort children to the minigames at the Game Station.
Experiment 1223 was the 1223rd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. They were a test subject placed into an unknown toy. It is theorized that this experiment is Daddy Long Legs.
Experiment 1322[]
Experiment 1322 was the 1322nd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1322 was a mix of three male test subjects known as Jack Ayers, Kevin Barnes and Matthew Hallard, who were placed into a large version of the toy known as Doey the Doughman. Experiment 1322 is a humanoid, amorphous mass made of a clay-like substance called "Doey Dough". His personality changes depending on the child in control; Jack being happy and playful and childlike, Matthew being responsible and charismatic, and Kevin being mad and very aggressive.
Experiment 1354 was the 1354th experiment conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1354 was a male test subject known as Harley Sawyer or "The Doctor". Experiment 1354 is a set of organs (lungs, heart, and brain) stored and kept functional within Vital System Centers scattered around the factory. With the ability to travel through the facility via screens, he would occasionally appear as an eye, which would change shape and color depending on his mood. He had the ability to control the prison facility by using the Omni-Hand. He also had control over several mechanical vessels, which allowed him to physically move around. He is known to be very sadistic and likes to toy with people who are at his mercy.
Experiment 1391 was the 1391st experiment that was conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1391 was a female test subject placed into a toy-sized Green Mini Huggy, and its experimental subject was a kid named Cassie. Experiment 1391 was likely operated on as its corpse was monitored inside of an operating room.
Experiment 1393 was the 1393rd experiment that was conducted by Playtime Co. Experiment 1393 was a male test subject placed into a toy-sized Bron, and his experimental subject was a kid called Timmy. Experiment 1393 was likely operated on as its corpse was monitored inside of an operating room.

Experiment 1424 was the 1424th experiment that was conducted by Playtime Co. The procedure for this experiment was completed on 01/26/95. It displayed disorganized behavior, confusion, thought disorder, memory loss, and catalepsy. The experiment was mostly catatonic and would not respond well to stimuli. The experiment would eat if food was placed in its mouth and sometimes respond if called by their test subject's name, though responses were rare.
Experiment 1467[]
Experiment 1467 was an experiment conducted though it is implied that their experiment number was misremembered. They are mentioned in the Orientation Notebook, but little is known about them.
Preceding the Bigger Bodies Initiative, this experiment does not yet have a defined experiment number, but since she is Elliot Ludwig's daughter, she was probably the first success when converting a human into a toy, though at the time, they most likely didn't know how they did it. She is a petite doll with white skin and red hair.
This experiment does not have a defined experiment number, but it is presumed she is the 1172nd experiment conducted by Playtime Co. She was a test subject placed into a large version of the toy known as Kissy Missy, a tall, slender creature with pink fur. She is very sweet and benevolent, but can show her ruthless side if faced with hostility. She was assigned to work in Storage B and was later transferred to Playcare for unknown reasons.
This experiment does not yet have a defined experiment number. This experiment was placed into a large version of the mascot known as Bron, and was made in a unknown date. It is unknown what role it was created for and what its current status is.

PickyPiggy, along with the other original Smiling Critters, was one of the few experiments to fight against the Prototype's control, and had died of unknown means.
A.I.[]
This experiment does not yet have a defined experiment number. This experiment was an A.I. created to oversee the Playtime Co. Superstore. They have only appeared in a non-canon Roblox game named Poppy Playtime Forever, meaning that they are not a canon character.
This experiment does not yet have a defined experiment number. Riley was an orphan who entered Playcare in August 1994 at age 12, following the death of her parents. Riley initially felt like an outsider due to most of the other children having arrived at the orphanage at a much earlier age, noting her feelings and memories in journal entries that can be found scattered throughout and around the Toy Graveyard. Her later entries reveal that she was given a shot, after which her “skin opened up like flower petals” and she saw “a man who looked like a doctor digging around inside [her], taking things out.” After this, she found that everything hurt, and her body was not hers any more, noting that she had been turned into an experiment. She was later transported to the prison. Her remains are seen within a cell room.
These experiments do not yet have defined experiment numbers. They are robotic entities created for an unknown purpose. However, as of 2005, they are in the control of The Doctor and used to hunt down The Player.
This experiment does not yet have a defined experiment number. Little is known about Lily at this time. She resides in the Labs and presumably will be a major antagonist in Chapter 5.
In the game files for Chapter 4, several experiments were mentioned within the game's text file:
Experiment #0007
Experiment #0032
Experiment #1001
Experiment #1354 (2x)
Experiment #2735
Experiment #9078
Experiment 821 Recording
Experiment 823 Recording
Experiment 825 Recording
Experiment 828 Recording
Experiment 829 Recording
Considering the idea of one test subject being chosen each week by Dr. Bruno White, November of 1990 seems very tight, with at least 17 experiments being produced within just 20 days time. However, it is possible that most of the experiments in between simply involved testing of the Elastic Plastic, as in the Experiment 1188 Bigger Bodies Proposal document, it is noted that the material was still being tested, and was not ready for use.
Though not confirmed, it is possible that earlier experiments involved the testing of Playtime Co.'s products and/or the chemicals and materials. It is important to note that in the Orientation Notebook, there is a progress report written on the Red Smoke, highly implying that it was also considered an experiment.
The smaller creatures could possibly be created through a repeatable process, which is why they wouldn’t be considered "experiments", as there was nothing experimental about them. Said repeatable process could be related to embryology, which was mentioned three different times in the Chapter 4 Icepick ARG.[1][2][3]
