Game Theory: Five Nights at Freddy's

Another SCARY THEORY for Halloween! This time, by your popular request, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. 2014's hottest survival horror game seems simple at first. But once you start looking past the murderous animatronics, the true story behind Five Nights at Freddy's may be more sinister than you ever expected!

THIS GAME IS SO COMPLICATED! You asked for it and so we dug deep into the convoluted lore of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria to answer ALL the questions the game leaves out there. Is it a prequel or sequel? What's the actual timeline? And who IS the Golden Freddy Killer? We're spending another Five Nights at Freddy's, so prepare to be scared.

You requested it...and requested it and requested it...and it's finally here! With the release of FNAF 3, Game Theory dives into the ENTIRE Five Nights at Freddy's trilogy to answer EVERY major question from these games. What is Golden Freddy? Who is the Phone Guy? What's the deal with the Shadow animatronics? What's the TRUE timeline of the FNAF series? And most importantly of all, who is the Purple Guy? There's a lot to cover, so this is part 1 with part 2 coming next!

Since the day FNAF Sister Location was announced, you've asked for theories about it! At first I didn't think there could be anything to say before the game actually came out, but I did my homework, dug into everything we know about the game...and found a few surprises. The result is today's theory, where I make my predictions for the latest iteration of FNAF...months before it even comes out! Am I right? Only time will tell...

FNAF 4 has been pretty much the only thing you've been talking to me about online for the last eight WEEKS! Well the wait is over because the Five Nights at Freddy's lore theory is HERE! '83 vs '87? We got it. What's in the box? That's covered too. So hold your plushie Fredbear toys tight because we're diving deep into the ending of FNAF...and why it matters so much.

FNAF 4 is here and this time I'm ready! I had originally planned for this episode to come out before FNAF 4 was released, but you can always count on Scott Cawthon to ruin all my plans... Either way, as soon as I started to see what this game was about in the trailers, I knew I had to come in and set the record straight. This episode is all about the evidence in the game that points straight toward the Bite of 87, as well as how the Bite of 87 itself makes FNAF 4 absolutely IMPOSSIBLE!

With the FNAF Halloween update finished and Scott moving on to the Five Nights at Freddy's novel and the upcoming FNAF World, it's time we look back and finally put to rest the original FNAF tetrology. We have all the pieces...but what are we missing? Scott Cawthon have us theorists some clues to go off of during our Five Nights at Freddy's livestream, which led to new revelations and me to discover the clue that breaks the entire FNAF series wide open! Prepare to have your mind blown!

It's the first LIVE episode of Game Theory, where we outline the FINAL timeline for Five Nights at Freddy's and then join up with Dawko, Razzbowski, Smike, and 8-Bit Gaming to put a close on the last year of FNAF.

It's NEVER over with FNAF, and it's NEVER over for FNAF's most notorious killer, William Afton, AKA the Purple Guy! With this latest installment of the FNAF franchise, I finally found something I've never been able to find in any of the games leading up to this one: a REASON for the killer to hunt down and kill children. Now for the first time ever we can put together pieces of the FNAF universe that have never made sense and finally understand who will "Put you back together..."

I Am One of THEM! Truer words were never spoken. But this is no metaphor, this is straight up fact! Since FNAF Sister Location's release, people have been asking a lot of questions about what it all means. How does Sister Location fit with the rest of the FNAF Universe? And, who are you playing as? After weeks of piecing these puzzles together... I have the answer!

All this time, I've been doing lore-based theories on FNAF, trying to piece together clues about the Purple Guy, the missing children, the Crying Child, Psychic Friend Fredbear. But today, I'm tackling the series from a different angle -- an old-school angle. Today, I'm looking at the SCIENCE of Five Nights at Freddy's, to see whether n animatronic would really have the BITING power necessary to break through bone. Could the bite we see in FNAF 4 really happen? Or is there something more sinister going on in the walls of Fredbear's Family Diner?

Here it is...the end of an era. Three years and almost twenty theories, but I think I have it. I think I've SOLVED FNAF. When you look at the timeline of events, all the major questions of the franchise start to make sense -- Who is inside Springtrap? Was FNAF 4 in 1983 or 1987? Where is Chica in Sister Location? What's the deal with Balloon Boy? So I went back and mapped out EVERY event to create the FINAL FNAF theory...answering all the lingering questions from the series and setting things up for Scott to eventually release FNAF 6. We all know it's coming so why resist?

The release of The Twisted Ones may have been followed by the Cancellation of FNAF 6, but we can still use this book to get to the bottom of things! While Scott says the books are a separate canon, it's hard to deny that the books and games only seem more & more connected as they come out. And The Twisted Ones is no exception. In this episode, I will Reveal who created the animatronics in Sister Location and how these twisted robots can Control Your Mind!

I've spent years tormenting myself over the tiniest details of FNAF. Trying to piece together the ultimate FNAF theory. Losing countless sleepless nights to animatronics pacing my dreams. But I've finally done it! Scott Cawthon, I've solved your series. I have found the final pieces to this animatronic jigsaw puzzle. Loyal Theorists, I give you the FINAL ULTIMATE FNAF THEORY!

I know I said the last FNAF episode was the last FNAF theory, But every time I think I've finished the FNAF theories, Scott releases a new game. It's like he's just sitting around with these finished games waiting for my theory to come out, then bam - he releases the new game. So you can probably expect FNAF 7 sometime next month.

For two years, one mystery has continued to linger over the FNAF franchise -- what was in the box? In FNAF 4, the final image is a locked box with the message "Some things are best left forgotten for now." But with the series over, now is the time to answer...WHAT WAS IN IT? Well, it's not all that easy to answer. Because it's my theory, my FNAF theory, that the contents of the box have changed three times. So what was meant to be in FNAF 4's box vs what ended up in it when the credits rolled in FNAF 6? I think we've already seen the solution!

The Five Nights at Freddy's series has been the rotten cheese on my pizza for long enough. I'm ready to say it - I GIVE UP! You win, Scott Cawthon. YOU. WIN. Your story makes no sense! And, boy, have I TRIED to make sense out of it. Today Loyal Theorists, I give UP!

In the last Theory I told you how FNAF and Scott had be STUMPED. Except, I can't give up. I've invested so much into this franchise. There are clues littered EVERYWHERE in the games and the books. So many that even now, we know MORE! Today Loyal Theorists, we start to piece together the full story!

FNAF Ultimate Custom Night confirmed what we've said since the beginning. Today Theorists, it all comes full circle. Who is Golden Freddy? What is the POINT of Ultimate Custom Night? This is what the story has been leading to ALL ALONG and I am here to explain it all!

We've come a long way Theorists. Today, I am DETERMINED to put together the complete and FINAL timeline for Five Nights at Freddy's. From beginning to end, first bight to burning everything to dust - this is IT! Join me Theorists, as we finish FNAF once and for all!

Did you know Theory Merch can have the same kind of mystery as FNAF? Get your Back To School Theory Wear and solve our puzzle! Today Theorists, we are finishing the FNAF timeline! What you've been WAITING to know is - how does this story END? Where have all the games been leading? Well Theorists, I am FINALLY going to tell you!

FNAF is back again. This game never really ends, does it? This time Scott Cawthon put up teasers for the new installment, Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted. Of course then he took the main image down for other reasons, but that's for another day. Today, I am here to tell you that I have figured out the ENTIRE new lore for FNAF VR. From our return to Sister Location, to what this all means for this beloved franchise - it's going to get DARK! Are you ready, Theorists?

Just a little while ago, Scott Cawthon resurfaced with a FNAF 7 teaser image that was quickly removed because - SHOCKER - it contained fan created models of the FNAF characters. If that sounds complicated, the short of it is that Scott (or rather his team) used fanart in their official teaser image. Those of us who have been on the internet for a little while know that is a big no-no. Yet if Scott owns the characters, but the fan artist owns the fanart, who has a right to the art? It's the big copyright paradox! Today I aim to unravel that knot!
