SCP Foundation

So it's an elevator box which has a number keypad in it with a 'enter' button. You type in a code of numbers and press enter and it makes a loud buzzing sound and then the door opens. Depending on the number it would have transported you to a random place. That place could be a elevator in a hotel or the middle of a field or back in time. The possibilities are endless. Each number will take you to the same place it always does. So typing in something like '173643' will always transport you to SCP 682's containment.

So please tell me your feedback and if it's mostly positive I will write it up in more detail with a few addendums.

Ech. To be honest, from what you've just described, this idea doesn't seem particularly interesting. Also, this:

Yeah.. no. Cross-referencing is pretty hard to do right, especially with an SCP as popular as 682. This makes it look like you're trying to leech off 682's popularity.

Anyway… I can't say for certain whether or not something like this could work, from what I've seen, virtually any idea can work, so long as the execution is good. If you really think you can pull this off, then I say go for it - but remember that these days, your average reader will be expecting your SCP to tell a story, there needs to be some context or narrative supporting the idea.

Anyway, hope I helped, and good luck with your idea. :)

I do think this ability would be tricky to pull off, but just as a limiter and to make it sound less like a poor man's TARDIS, I would have to say drop the time travel thing and maybe restrict its destinations to anywhere there's a door.

And now I see this thing also having a "Home" button, with an incident report or TDBINATD about not using this SCP to exit from a stairwell tower, then sending it back so the next person to try to use that "elevator" just gets a set of stairs.

Either way though, I'm not sure how well one could make this interesting.
