Playpen

The playpen is a type of furniture item. It is composed of interlocking panels, with one panel being an hinged gate, made of metal mesh screens. A playpen can be as large as one wants with one having been counted as having nine panels. Vault residents use the playpen for containing and protecting the infant, though this sometimes doesn't work as they have learned how to open the gate. The playpens are used in the Vault-Tec Vaults.

Game Play
A player's character is required to interact with the playpen (by opening the gate), so that they can explore the room and find the You're SPECIAL! book. By forcing the player's character to take this action, the game designers are educating them on the basic physical laws that govern this world.
