Five Nights at Freddy's 1 is a first-person horror game in which you will work as a security guard in the famous pizza restaurant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. There are always a lot of visitors here because robots-animatronics entertain people. The only problem is that at night the robots behave a little strange. Your task is to watch Freddy and his friends on the security cameras. You have a limited amount of electricity that you can spend per night. Everything that happens in the pizzeria at night is completely unpredictable. Spend five nights in a pizzeria in the game Five Nights at Freddy's.

How to play FNAF 1

The legendary game "Five Nights at Freddy's" is written in the style of survival horror - will scare even the most resistant players. Animatronics, although they look like cute animals, in reality they are not.

The gameplay takes place in a family pizzeria, where robots entertain visitors during the day. But everything changes when the night comes. The main character, security guard Mike Schmidt, just got a job and does not yet know what awaits him. His shift lasts from 12 at night to 6 in the morning, during this period the hero needs to monitor the order in the cafe.

But animatronics have their own plans: each robot has a clearly prescribed pattern of actions, and everything boils down to one - not to let the guard live until morning. The main antagonists of the game are:

  • Freddy Fazbear - the bear, comes last and only moves while the lights are off;
  • Bonnie - the purple rabbit, almost always arrives at the left door;
  • Chica - the chicken, rattles around the kitchen where the camera gives you sound only;
  • Foxy - the pirate fox behind the curtain in Pirate Cove, and the only one who runs;
  • Golden Freddy - not on the payroll, turns up on his own terms.

The active movements of the robots occur exactly when the guard turns away from the surveillance camera monitors. His work is complicated by the fact that video surveillance does not cover the entire pizzeria and one of the cameras is not working. And remember - energy must be saved. If it runs out before morning comes, it's the end.

Where the power actually goes

  • A closed door costs more than anything else - shut it late, open it early
  • Hall lights are cheap in short taps and expensive if you hold them
  • The camera panel keeps draining for as long as you leave it up
  • Glancing at Pirate Cove is the cheapest insurance in the game
  • Nights 4 and 5 are usually lost to an empty meter, not to a mistake
Nothing needs installing here - the whole thing runs in the tab you already have open. And once the sixth night stops being a wall, the sequel throws the doors away completely: in FNAF 2 you get a Freddy mask and a flashlight instead, and the rest of the FNAF series takes it from there.

How to beat every night in FNAF 1

Night 1

Almost nothing happens, and that is the point. Bonnie may leave the stage, nobody else will.

  • Let the phone call finish - it is the only tutorial the game gives you
  • Open every camera once and learn where the West and East Halls are
  • Do not touch the doors at all; you should end the night above 70% power

Night 2

Bonnie gets noticeably faster and Chica starts moving. Foxy begins peeking out of the curtain.

  • Start the loop you will use for the rest of the game: left light, right light, camera 1C, repeat
  • Check Pirate Cove every third or fourth cycle - the curtain opening is your only warning
  • Doors only when a light shows something, never "just in case"

Night 3

Freddy joins. From here all four are active and the difficulty stops being about any one of them.

  • Freddy moves only while the monitor is down or the room is dark - and he only uses the right door
  • Foxy is the fastest he has been; if the cove is empty, shut the left door immediately
  • Aim to be at 50% power by 3 AM. Lower than that and night 3 is already lost

Night 4

The night where most first playthroughs end. Foxy is aggressive, Freddy is close behind, and the phone call cuts off mid-sentence - that part is scripted, not a bug.

  • Foxy is the priority. Glance at camera 1C more often than feels necessary; every look resets him
  • Never hold a door. Tap it shut, check the light, open it again
  • If you hear Freddy's laugh twice in quick succession, the right door needs to close now
  • Do not check the kitchen camera at all - the light tells you the same thing for free

Night 5

Everyone is near maximum and Freddy arrives early. Golden Freddy can also appear.

  • Play faster, not more carefully - hesitating costs more power than acting does
  • If the office goes dark and the music box tune starts, keep the monitor up and hope
  • Golden Freddy in the office: raise the monitor. Doors do nothing to him

Night 6 and Custom Night

Night 6 unlocks after night 5 and runs everyone hotter still. Beating it opens the Custom Night, where you set each animatronic from 0 to 20.

  • 4/20 mode - all four at 20 - is the hardest challenge in the original game
  • The star on the menu screen is the only reward, and the community treats it as the real ending
