Vault 101 activities

In their free time, the inhabitants of Vault 101 engage in various activities.

Cake Bake-Off
The "Cake Bake-Off" is a competitive event. In this event, contestants bake cakes which are judged according to a select criteria. The winner is given a worthy prize. In some communities, this is an annual event. One such community is Vault 101.

On July 13, 2268, a notice on the bulletin board in the Cafeteria announces the annual cake bake-off. This year, the judges will only accept bundt cakes.

Founder's Day
The "Founder's Day" is a holiday on the Vault 101 calendar celebrated on the 23rd October. This holiday commemorates the Overseer who founded and governed the Vault in the late 21st century. Two centuries later, Beatrice Armstrong, a Vault resident, honors the Founder by dedicating one of her older poems to him. Beatrice can't write a new poem as she had trouble finding a rhyming word with Overseer.

Hunt the Mutant
"Hunt the Mutant" is a child's game played in Vault 101. A player is selected as the Mutant and hides while other players hunt for them. When the player is found, the game restarts with another player as the Mutant.

At one of Wally Mack's birthday parties in the 2260s, this game is played in the Atrium. Wally later mentions this game at the Lone Wanderer's tenth birthday party on July 13, 2268. By mentioning this game, Wally is unfavorably comparing his party to the Lone Wanderer's party.
