About Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy's is a survival horror game where you work the night shift as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is home to several animatronic characters that behave differently after closing time.
You will need to watch for:
- Freddy Fazbear – Moves through the building as the night progresses and becomes especially dangerous later in the game.
- Bonnie – Approaches the office from the left side and can move frequently between camera rooms.
- Chica – Travels toward the office from the right side and must be tracked carefully.
- Foxy – Waits in Pirate Cove and becomes more dangerous if you fail to keep track of him.
Understanding how each animatronic moves is an important part of surviving later nights.
Your security cameras let you monitor different areas of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and determine where the animatronics are located.
Power is limited, however, and several important systems consume it:
- Security cameras
- Left hallway light
- Right hallway light
- Left security door
- Right security door
Keeping doors closed constantly may feel safer, but it drains your electricity quickly. Use each system only when necessary so you still have power near the end of the night.
Five Nights at Freddy's rewards awareness and careful resource management. Check important cameras, listen for audio cues, and use the hallway lights to determine when a door actually needs to be closed.
Helpful strategies include:
- Checking cameras regularly without leaving them open too long
- Watching Pirate Cove for Foxy
- Using hallway lights before closing doors
- Reopening doors when the area is safe
- Avoiding unnecessary power usage
- Learning how each animatronic behaves
- Paying attention to sounds around the office
- Staying focused as activity increases later in the night
- Managing power so it lasts until 6 AM
Later nights require quicker decisions and more efficient use of your equipment.
