The real life Lord of the Flies or The Robbers Cave experiment took place during 1954 in Robbers Cave State Park, Oklahoma, with 22 children.

The experiment conducted by Muzafer Sherif and Carolyn Wood Sherif sought out to see what would happen if two groups kept separate from one another would produce friction.

It is the first example of a study focusing on intergroup behavior, but the results would be the two groups of children fighting, stealing and burning flags.
