The SCP Foundation, known by its motto Secure, Contain, Protect is a fictional organisation. It is a collection of the internet-based fiction project of the same name. The project is on a website that is made like a wiki called the SCP Wiki. The SCP Wiki has many articles and writings in several genres, such as horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy.[3] Many of the articles about SCPs on wiki are like scientific reports that tell the description of the SCP and the things needed to contain them. Also, the SCP Wiki has something called "Foundation Tales", which are short stories that are about characters and different settings in the SCP Universe. Many people have liked the SCP Wiki because of its good quality and writing styles.
The SCP Foundation is responsible for locating and containing[note 3] individuals, aliens, places, objects, or even thoughts that break natural law. These are called "anomalies"[note 4] or "SCPs"; SCP stands for Secure Contain Protect.[note 5] The Foundation tries to keep these SCPs hidden from the rest of society.
Many video games and short movies have been inspired by SCP or have been based on SCP. The most popular SCP video games are SCP – Containment Breach and SCP: Secret Laboratory.
