Human beings are obsessed with leaving a record of ourselves so that future generations have some idea of what we were like. Enter the Time Capsule, an object specifically designed to withstand the elements and hopefully be dug up and opened some number of years (usually pre-determined) after its burial. "Specifically designed" is the key word here; anything from the past is obviously going to be of interest to an archeologist, but it only counts as a time capsule if the one burying it intended it to be as such. Can be used to Fling a Light into the Future. Compare Write Back to the Future, which is essentially this trope meets Stable Time Loop. See also Dead Man Writing, Video Wills. |

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, a special series of conversations with Blathers can occur in October where he attempts to try digging up fossils himself, and in one of these, he’ll reveal he ended up finding a time capsule instead. He says he found two letters inside, which are heavily implied to have been written by Tom Nook and Sable before the Noodle Incident that gave Tom his Jade-Coloured Glasses. | |

The Walt Disney World Explorer application is itself an unintentional example. Only two editions of the application were ever released, the original in 1996 and a Second Edition in 1998. Today, it's one of the few official ways to relive long-gone Walt Disney World attractions such as The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, Take Flight (Delta Dreamflight), Mickey's Toontown Fair, the Wonders of Life pavilion, the pre-Frozen version of Epcot's Norway pavilion, and The Great Movie Ride, among several others. It even has 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage covered, even though that ride closed in 1994. | |

Leslie calls for a town meeting to debate the matter, and everyone in town wants to put something in the capsule as well.

In The Orville episode "Lasting Impressions", the crew finds a time capsule from 2015 (400 years ago for the crew). Gordon becomes obsessed with a young woman, who put her iPhone into the capsule, creating a holographic simulation of her. Meanwhile, Bortus and Klyden try cigarettes and become chainsmokers (apparently, nicotine is even more addictive to Moclans). Ed and Kelly read a newspaper from 2015 and complain about its Worst News Judgement Ever (dedicating a page to teeth whitening, when the global climate is on the verge of collapse). | |

Looney Tunes: In "Pre-Hysterical Hare", Bugs Bunny finds one in an underground cave but doesn't realize it's a time capsule, as he is unable to read the prehistoric writing on it. The writing changes briefly to English for the benefit of the viewer: "Time Capsule, Circa 10,000 B.C., to be opened 1960 A.D." The capsule contains a roll of projector film—a documentary about Elmer Fuddstone and his hunt for the saber-tooth rabbit, who bears a striking resemblance to Bugs. |

One episode of the BBC Scotland comedy Scot Squad involves a police officer digging up a time capsule from the 1970s. Unfortunately, nearly every item contained within has aged horribly - namely, they are a Gollywog doll, a Gary Glitter LP, a Jim Fixed It lanyard, an ''It’s a Knockout'' annual, and a Stylophone, advertised by Rolf Harris. Desperately searching for something wholesome, the officer rejoices at finding a can of Creamola Foamnote A popular soft drink from Glasgow where crystals are dissolved to form a sweet drink.. | |

In Fallout 4, the quest "The Treasure of Jamaica Plain" has you exploring a ruined town that's overrun with ghouls and covered with the corpses of adventurers drawn to the rumored prize within the fortified vault beneath the town. As you might guess from the trope page, the "treasure" is nothing but a room-sized time capsule that the mayor decided to spend $38 million defending with automated security systems right before the apocalypse. Happily, Diamond City's baseball enthusiast will pay a reward should you bring him the 2076 World Series bat among the preserved junk. | |

Doraemon: One of Nobita's ancestors buried in his yard what he thought was a valuable treasure that could help his descendants the next time Haley's Comet passed by. It turned out to be an inflatable pool toy that a time-travelling Nobita anonymously gave said ancestor to help ease fears that the comet would temporarily strip the Earth of its atmosphere. The American English-dubbed episode "Doraemon's Time Capsule" is about Noby borrowing the eponymous futuristic time capsule and accidentally sending the contents within 100 years into the past. Then he sends it to the future on the day Doraemon was born and has to go find it again before it causes a change in the timeline from just-born Doraemon seeing the items it contains. |

Tenet. The use of inversion to make objects move backwards in time enables people in the future to sends messages and funds to people in the past; the recipient buries his own time capsule as per normal to send messages back. The villain Andrei Sator digs up such an inverted capsule while a lowly Soviet worker cleaning up after a radiation accident, finding a message inside addressed specifically to him. He's also shown receiving inverted gold in time capsules sent from the future. | |

Animal Crossing In Animal Crossing: Wild World, a special series of conversations with Blathers can occur in October where he attempts to try digging up fossils himself, and in one of these, he’ll reveal he ended up finding a time capsule instead. He says he found two letters inside, which are heavily implied to have been written by Tom Nook and Sable before the Noodle Incident that gave Tom his Jade-Coloured Glasses. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, villagers will occasionally give you a time capsule and ask you to bury it for them. If you comply, they may later come back and ask you to dig up and return the capsule to them... or they may move away from your town and leave the capsule behind, allowing you to claim the contents for yourself. |

In the Kamen Rider Den-O story arc that introduced Zeronos, the Victim of the Week was a retired boxer who wanted to find the time capsule he buried with his recently deceased girlfriend. The Imagin started digging up any time capsule it could find to satisfy his contract, then started beating the man when he refused to go along with it. In the end of the arc, he found the right time capsule, which contained his old boxing gloves and a farewell letter from his girlfriend. | |

In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw, Greg and Rowley bury a time capsule in Rowley's yard to be opened "when time travel is possible." Greg puts in five dollars, hoping it'll be worth a lot in the future, and convinces Rowley to put in more of his expensive objects. After a few days, Greg digs up the time capsule for himself. | |

Homestar Runner: One Strong Bad Email was about Strong Bad making a time capsule out of a giant medicinal pill, deciding to put in a #1 jam and some other assorted items inside, while Homestar makes his own "time box" with a gross old wig in it. Hilarity ensues when Stinkoman and 1-Up find them in the future of 20X6: Stinkoman mistakes the #1 jam for a power crunch and immediately eats it (after apparently eating four hundred bites of dirt) and 1-Up accidentally finds Homestar's wig, and all the while Strong Bad is still waiting for "groupies and royalties" to arrive from the future. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Near the end, Asuna and Ayaka dig up a time capsule from when they were younger. Due to the fact that Asuna will be sealed up for 100 years starting the next day, Ayaka plans on burying it again with new pictures so Asuna will have something when she finally wakes up. When Asuna digs it up 130 years later (she overslept), she discovers that the entire class added pictures and recordings over the course of their lives. | |

Blue Peter has placed six time capsules so far throughout its long run. Typically the capsules contain not only several artifacts of the time, but also memorabilia from the show, including its famous badges, and photographs of the presenters, crew and mascots, along with videotapes/clips and scripts of recent or upcoming episodes and issues of the annual magazine. The first was buried in June 1971 in front of the BBC Television Centre in White City, London and intended for opening in January 2000. That was successfully carried out, though it had to be relocated twice, the first time some yards away a week later due to nearby tree root growth and the second instance to the show’s garden in 1984 when the original site was due to be developed. A second time capsule would be entombed in concrete in a multi-storey car park near the Television Centre in March 1981 with no recovery date in mind (it was found in 2022), while a third time capsule was buried in 1984 alongside the relocated 1971-2000 capsule. A fourth capsule, built for the show’s 40th anniversary, was buried beneath the Millennium Dome in East London in 1998 for opening in 2050, but it was accidentally uncovered and damaged in 2017, with the contents going on tour the following year. A fifth was buried in January 2000 in the same place as the 1971 and 1984 capsules that had been recovered three days earlier, and intended for opening in 2029, though it was relocated when the programme moved from London to Salford in 2011. The sixth, created in 2018 to commemorate the show’s 60th anniversary, is not buried, but contained in The National Archives for safekeeping, not to be opened until 2038. | |
