SCP-173 has (unfortunately) been recontained.

The SCP-173 Makeship campaign has now ended, and the SCP-173 plushie will shortly enter its production stage.

A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us by purchasing one — we hope that you enjoy your cuddly new friend!

Don’t blink or you’ll miss him!

You have only one week left to acquire the new SCP-173 plushies before they’re placed back into containment!

Holiday Update — 2023

We’ve just released the seasonal update for SCP:SL.
Included is a new playable faction, SCP-956 and SCP-559, and the return of SCP-2536, alongside other smaller features implemented for this year’s winter season.

[h2]SCP-2536 Reimplementation[/h2]
As mentioned last year— what’s a holiday update without a Christmas tree?

SCP-2536 is back again. We’ve reworked the loot table and improved the visuals. With the extra love and care put into this year’s version, we hope you’ll enjoy the return of ‘The Gift That Keeps On Giving’.

[h2]SCP-1507 — Pink Flamingos[/h2]
SCP-1507 is one of this year’s special holiday features. In short, it’s a parade of plastic flamingos — capable of inflicting melee damage and seeing targets through walls.

SCP-1507 is a faction of its own, with only one goal — kill everything. Whilst weak on their own, the sheer number of them is their primary strength. If you hear cawing down the dark Facility halls, be very afraid.

[h3]Primary Attack — ‘Peck’[/h3]
SCP-1507 lunges forward, dealing a strong peck to a single target in front of it, inflicting significant damage. The attack does not stop its usability at living targets — SCP-1507 can break down doors and open gates with its peck. Locked doors won’t stop them…

[h3]Special Ability — ‘Vocalize’[/h3]
SCP-1507 lets out a loud flamingo cry that can be heard from many rooms away. Players within close proximity to the cry will be concussed. By itself, the ability does nothing, but with the help of others…

[h3]Passive Ability — ‘One of Us’[/h3]
When other flamingos use Vocalize near recently slain SCP-1507 instances, a progress bar will begin to fill. If members of the horde work together to fill this progress bar, the slain SCP-1507 will return to life.

An SCP-1507 instance can only be revived once. Death is not the end for SCP-1507…

[h3]Passive Ability — ‘Universally Hostile’[/h3]
The horde knows no limits. SCP-1507 instances can see living targets throughout walls, from multiple hallways away. There’s nowhere to hide…

[h3]Passive Ability — ‘The Swarm’[/h3]
A SCP-1507 instance may not be extremely powerful alone, but together, their strength quickly multiplies. SCP-1507 instances passively regenerate health when nearby other flamingos. Their durability is unmatched, growing stronger together…

We hope you enjoy the inclusion of SCP-1507 in this holiday season.

[h2]Snowballs[/h2]
Another fun feature this year is the addition of snow piles throughout the Facility. Use these piles to grab snowballs and have a snowball fight against your enemies!

Snowballs can be thrown much like any other throwable object, with a twist — you can charge your throw to deal more damage. Headshots also grant a damage bonus.

You can only have a maximum of one snowball in your inventory at a time.

[h2]Other Festive Changes[/h2]
  • Readded SCP-956 and SCP-559 with a chance of spawning per round.
  • Readded coffee cups with special messages.
  • You can, once again, see your breath in the freezing cold Facility.
  • Resprited SCP-018.
  • Decorated the Facility with seasonal cheer.
  • Reimplemented the Chaos Insurgency Express.
  • Implemented new audio for SCP-049’s abilities.
  • Implemented new environmental audio for doors throughout the Facility.
  • Implemented a new skybox and terrain.
  • Readded coal.
  • Removed SCP-055.
  • SCP-3114 will spawn naturally for the duration of the event.


Here’s to another amazing year of SCP:SL. This game still exists today because of you — members of the community. Thank you!

Keep on the lookout for a feedback form soon to come.

Happy holidays, and see you in the dark.

Your chance to have your very own SCP-173!

To those who haven’t heard, we have, once again, partnered with Makeship to bring you another pocket-sized version of one of the Foundation’s infamous ‘members’.

For a limited time, you can grab an SCP-173 plushie from Makeship’s website: https://www.makeship.com/products/scp-173

We’re happy to announce that the campaign has been fully funded, meaning we can now guarantee the plushie's entry into the initial stages of production.

Once the campaign ends, the plushies will no longer be available for purchase, so grab one while you still can!

We'd like to thank everyone that has purchased one already — however; it'd be best to keep an eye on it once it arrives…
