A vault with "The Brown Note" (or just something that makes you shit yourself when heard for an extended period of time) being constantly played 24/7. There is only 1 toilet, and it breaks down 99% of the time.
That is evil

Vault: 256

All games are Casual (Canival games etc) and the vault is filled with MLG pros on COD

Vault 86: filled with socially inept but highly intelligent People. A Vault full of Sheldons.

Will they reform their thought processes to allow for more social interaction? Will the intelligent elite revert to the law of the strongest?

I think they will eventually pummel each other. Its more probable then the Citizens of Vault 85, all with an I.Q. of under 85 harming each other.


Vault 84: Every Vault has security cams; this one has them positioned in such a way they are impossible to ignore. Every citizens is constantly aware of the presence of the cameras.

12 people tied to chairs.
REBECCA BLACK - FRIDAY plays continuously for 6 hours. They are then released but have to come back everyday for six hours again.

Vault 96:

101 people

There are 50 men and 50 women. They have each been indoctrinated into thinking that they are of the opposite gender.

There is 1 hermaphrodite, who has not undergone any indoctrination.

Let the mindfuck commence!

Uhh... I think they'd figure out to climb on top of one another before they decided to slaughter one another.
That's more optimistic than you think it is. Have you ever had a puzzle that you couldn't figure out, that you looked at in a million different ways and still couldn't figure it out? The "obvious" answer isn't always obvious.

Throw in the survival-instinct-makes-us-violent factor. People going into the Vaults are doing so to escape what is viewed at their time to be an inevitable nuclear holocaust. They end up in this Vault, not knowing anyone, not knowing if anyone is trustworthy, and then have to work together to figure this out, while they know the world outside is blowing up? Not as easy as it first appears at all.

There's also the isolation factor. This room is small for ten people. Tall but small and with no way of finding privacy. There are constant irritations that will settle in after the first hour as people realise they have to use toilets in the full view of everyone else, or ask everyone to look away. With the women, imagine the irritation at the men having the full ability to look, and perhaps vice versa. Fear settles in through this, alongside mistrust.

Out of twelve randomly selected people, there is also the probability that someone has an unknown or unexpressed mental issue. They might even try to manipulate others if, in their panic after getting into the Vault and assuming the bombs have dropped, they immediately think of the "kill others to break the screen" option, assuming the Vault itself is a sick joke designed to turn them into murderers. Despair can do that to people.

Not to mention, have you ever tried to stand on top of a group of twelve people without falling down? It's actually a demanding acrobatic feat a lot of the time. It takes co-ordination and often friendship. And we know from reality TV that groups of randomly selected people do NOT all immediately become friends with each other if they end up in a tightly packed situation with no way out. If they work together it is not through sturdy ties but a mutual goal, and this one might not seem so inspiring when they find themselves locked in the Sphere in the first place.

There are a surprising amount of interesting/good suggestions in here, but yours take the cake, but its a cake you don't like and its main ingredients is something you are allergic to, you have an endless supply of this cake, its the only supply of food and no one else can get access to it, you will be sealed in the vault with 50 other people for 30 years.

Vault idea 1. The vault will only be inhabited by people that are legally retarded and/or have severe mental health issues, the vault will have fresh ingredients but no instructions on how to prepare them, all the means necessary for a proper education as well as instruments and a computer for each inhabitant.

The experiment main purpose is to see if people that cant function in our society will create their own or if they can't function in any scenario.

It's probably not canon, but it could probably be fixed by leaving blueprints for something like a vertibird and clear instructions that it will need to be build in 100 years or they will be killed.
Thankye and the cooking vault is fantastic man, I'd love to see how that one would progress.

A vault with
1) Extensive supplies of various metalworking tools - from forging to fine engraving
2) Virtually limitless supply of coal, brass and copper, lesser amounts of gold, steel, glass
3) Many extra water purifiers
4) Entertainment consisting mostly of various old adventure stories, most prominently Jules Verne
5) All engineering literature stops at the tech level of 1905
6) Everything that runs on electicity runs on its own battery pack, there are no generators

The goal - to observe whether a stempunk society will emerge and, if it does, can it survive.

Ooh, I've got one! I think...

Anyway, the vault will contain 500 humans, and 500 androids with human skin. 250 of each will be told that they are human, and the other 250 of each will be told they're not. The only forms of entertainment will be games and movies about wars with machines, e.g. Terminator, the Matrix, and other stuff about machines, like Ghosts in the Shell.

Cue the inevitable war between the humans and the androids. The vault will remain sealed until only either the humans or the androids remain.

Every single room has multiple cameras and everyone is forced to watch the 3/5/10 most embarrassing clips of the day.
--additional-- the 'winner' of most embarrassing cilp gets to choose the criteria for 'embarrassing' for the next day.

I got a few ideas so i've given them thir own number series.

Vault 801: The vault in filled with a group of 20 people (10men|10women of varying ages) who are insecure about their bodies.
The inhabitants are sedated and put in the vault nude with no cloths anywhere in the vault.
There is nothing reflective put into the vault so it is impossible for anyone to see themselves.
The purpose of this vault is to find out if exposure and the inability to see yourself amplify or reduce insecurity.


Vault 802: The vault is large and filled with tropical plant life to simulate a jungle.
2 tribes of people are put into the vault.
the Tibes each speak a different language and have no knowledge of each other or the language.
The purpose of the vault is to see whether these people will learn each others language and become one force, or become enemies and kill each other.


Vault 803: The vault is void of any type of music or anything that makes music. Randomly once per day anytime from 00:00 to 23:59 music from a random music genre is played going from muted to a nearly deafening level for 15 minutes. Everything else is as normal.
To see the effect on the human psyche, to test whether it causes people to fear music, become violent from stress or any other factors.


Vault 804: In the vault EVERYTHING is brightly coloured from different colours in the spectrum, and the lighting is very bright and constantly on 24 hours a day, trippy insane music is constantly played through speakers situated everywhere in the vault.
This vault is designed to study the effects of extreme stress and exhaustion on people, and to see if the outcome of these factors can be influenced by environmental factors.


Vault 805: The vault is designed to look like its been damaged by a massive explosion on the inside.
the lighting is constantly flickering with sparks coming from broken wires on the celing.
Every few days the sounds of alien beasts trying to break in is played.
This Vault is designed to study Xenophobia in people and how it effects their life and health.


Vault 806: The vault is filled with literature about a ferocious animal called a Kitten which preys on people and tries to descieve them with cuteness.
After a few generations, when the kitten becomes known by the dwellers as a monster, an event will start where one vault dweller will be removed every week and the sound of screaming and purring played as if the dweller was being maulled.
Then a group of kittens will be released into the vault every few weeks after the imhabitants learn to be petrified of them.
The inhabitants will be given blunt objects, such as lead pipes, to protect themselves from the kittens.
The purpose of this vault is to see if people can be taught to fear something which is harmless, and to see if this resorts in a mainly fight or flight reaction when exposed to it.

Vault 2030 is designed to hold 500 people for 300 years. It is given extra guns including a small fleet of armored cars, a G.E.C.K, all the required utilities, and is built to be massive. Three times the size of a normal Vault massive (Example: hallways must be at least 25 feet wide.)

The kicker? After 30 years, once everyone has gotten to know ALMOST everyone else, a mutagen will be released that randomly infects people and slowly turns them into furries. The mutagen also causes them to start having some animal characteristics. There is also a stash of the mutagen hidden in the Vault that could be used to infect half the United States.

The intent? To see if the non-mutants can get along with the other mutants or will it devolve into a vault destroying war with:
A. The furries winning and making a furry vault. They then leave and create a city like Vault City.
B. The furries winning and using the G.E.C.K to create an army, conquering the wasteland.
C. A but the humans winning.

toss in a bunch of hardcore shais, sunnis, lutherans, catholics, jews, Buddhists, Hindus, scientologists some folk religion and atheists, along with a group of undecided. Each group has enough people to sustain their population, and there is a vault election each year, with the vault overseer being able to play his message on the speakers for that year. Watch the religious wars began. Do new faiths emerge? What happens to the groups of undecided? Do faiths team up, put aside their differences, to work towards a common goal? Note, there are no weapons in the vault other that turrets that will kill the agressor to any fights. It would be interesting to see what happens.

First vault idea: Every resident in the vault blind since birth. No accomodations in the vault for the blind.

Second: All residents as they enter will be given a pet (Small breed of dog or cat). But the pets are deliberately set up to die within a few per week for the first few months, after the first three weeks.
thats just fucked up
