Q&A for How to Play Five Nights at Freddy's

If you happen to see Golden Freddy on the floor of your office, quickly flick your monitor (the cameras) up for one second, then back down. Otherwise, Golden Freddy will crash your game, and you will have to close and re-open your game to play it.

The mask is to fool the animatronics that you are Freddy instead of the night guard.

You will die. Unless Freddy's jumpscare is cut off by the 6 am bell, which is rare.

Golden Freddy is a secret animatronic. If you see a Golden Freddy poster, which is rare, then put down the camera, Golden Freddy will be lying in a heap. Quickly put the camera back up for a second then put it back down if you want to live. Otherwise, Golden Freddy will kill you and crash the game. You can play it again by closing the game then opening it again.

There are multiple things that could happen. One way you could die is by Foxy. Though he usually doesn't come until night two, not going on your cameras for the whole time of the first night will trigger him leaving and killing you, and this applies to every other night. From night three onward, once he has entered your office, Freddy can kill you without you moving, it will just be slightly delayed. In short, you will die.

FNAF is not scary. It's just a bunch of jump scares. They may be startling, but overall FNAF is not scary. Have a friend take you through it the first few times, then you'll know what to expect.

Mangle does not attack in the first game, but in in the second game, she comes on night 2 by climbing on the roof if you want to make her go with the Freddy.

You should close the door that they're coming from. If they're in the hallway, DO NOT go on the cameras or you'll be dead.

Just flash the light for half a second twice and close the door only when really needed.

Don't run out of power and if you hear a laugh, close the door.

Flip the cameras to keep Foxy in place (but don't flip for too long, as you will lose power supply!). Check the lights often to spot Bonnie and Chica. If one of them appear at your door, quickly close it! The use of camera to spot them is not necessary as you need to save power supply as much as possible on night 5. If you hear a deep laugh, it means Freddy is moving from one spot to another. You only need to care about him when he laughs for the 4th time. That means Freddy is just outside your right door! All you need to do is to make sure that you close the right door if you're viewing the cameras and open it back after the 5th laugh. Repeat until 6:00 AM.

You go to the camera with the poster of Golden Freddy. That should summon him and make him kill you.

Make sure not to use too much power (constantly turning on door lights, closing doors for long periods of time et cetera). Check on Foxy from time to time, and check the door lights if an animatronic is nowhere to be seen on the camera.

The light in your office also affects your power, so you will need to use your power wisely and carefully.

Occasionally when checking the West Hall Corner (Cam 2B), a close-up of Golden Freddy's face will appear in place of Freddy's poster. When this happens and the monitor is lowered, Golden Freddy will appear. Be aware that Golden Freddy cannot be summoned if Bonnie is occupying the West Hall Corner, and Golden Freddy is most likely to appear on Night 1 and Night 3.

If you are playing the first game, you won't be able to. If you are playing the second game, you will. You can do this simply by moving the mouse downwards on the left side of the screen.

Shadow Bonnie is a hallucination in the second game. She does not appear in 5 Nights at Freddy's, which is the first game.

Even though his real name is Springtrap, he will be most likely to appear in the third game, not the first two. However, if you want to see him in a much cuter way, why not play the fourth game. He will be named Plushtrap.

What you do is make sure you keep an eye on him first. He is the first one who is active on Night 1. If you see him in the hallway, close the door. Even though you can't see him, because there is no window there, just wait a little while, then check the cameras to see if he's somewhere else. If he's somewhere else, open the door, but check your power as he can stay there for a long time.

On a PC, simply click on the door (red button] and on an Android: tap on the door button. It is very simple.

In FNAF 1, hold Freddy's nose on the poster. Then press C, D, and + (the keypad plus). It will skip nights.

When Golden Freddy is in your room, open up the cams, and he should be gone. If you don't succeed in doing so, the game will crash.

Don't worry about them while you're playing. Thinking about the jumpscares only accumulates terror.

Yes, Chica can be active on the first night. Not checking the cameras for long periods of time can sometimes also summon Foxy.

The power would be consumed twice fast and you would run out of power.

Bring up the camera and click on the specific camera you want to look at.

The easiest way is to make sure you conserve your power and only keep your eye on Foxy and the doors with the lights. This becomes handy in later nights.

No, they cannot, but if both doors are closed your power drains faster.

Set all the animatronics to 0, and then wait until 6:00 AM. After that, you've beat the game!

It's simple; you die in the game.
