Events

**Events** are activities and challenges hosted by the game for certain reasons, for example, seasonal events. Some events feature new time-limited animatronics, and players will be given prizes when certain goals are made if challenges are given. Events were first introduced in the franchise in *Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery*.

## **Get Your Streak On Challenge**

The event was hosted on Thanksgiving 2019 (November 29th). In this challenge, the player must get their streak up by capturing animatronics without dying on that day. The player will be given Faz-Coins if they reach a certain number on their streak. The players will also be rewarded if a number of participants log on.

The goal of 250,000 was reached, and the players were all given 50 Faz Coins regardless of streak level.

### Goals and Prizes

* Anyone who achieves a new current streak of 7 (or higher) on the challenge day will receive 75 Faz Coins.
* Anyone who achieves a new current streak of 10 (or higher) on the challenge day will receive 150 Faz Coins.

An event is held on Winter 2019, and has introduced two new time-limited animatronics: Toy Chica and Freddy Frostbear. Throughout the event, the player was able to encounter them and purchase and obtain items related to them, such as Plush Suits, CPUs, and lures.

The UI of the game is also decorated to fit with the theme of Christmas, such as map having snow, and the shop being decorated with Christmas lights. This is also the first event to have a new feature, where player can receive gifts every 4 hours.

In January, just before the event came to a close, Toy Bonnie was added on the 24th and stayed until the 29th.

## **Valentine 2020 Event**

The event was on Valentine's Day 2020 (14 February). This event was first teased on Dawko's WWF Charity Stream when CEO of Illumix was being interviewed.

Throughout the event, the player was able to encounter him and purchase and obtain items related to him, such as Plush Suits, CPUs, and lures.

Similar to the Winter 2019 Event, the game is decorated in the Valentine's theme, such as the map being changed to pink, hearts decorating user's icon, and the look of the Shop section has been changed as well.

### Community Quest

During the Winter Wonderland event, a Community Quest was announced by Illumix. The Quest was built around players collecting Event Tokens. If enough players gain enough Event Tokens, a brand new animatronic character will be released early to round off the Winter Wonderland event. The Community Quest character was later revealed to be Golden Freddy, who was added on December 20th along with a massive update. However, this Community Quest, despite taking place at the same time, was not part of the Winter Wonderland event.

## **Trivia**

* The teaser for the "Get Your Streak On Challenge" event is actually a reference to one of Norman Rockwell’s famous paintings, “Freedom from Want”. It was made in 1942 and it shows a turkey being placed on a table for Thanksgiving dinner.
* After the St. Patrick's Day Event, Character Skins became a staple in events; appearing in every event afterwards.
* Sizzling Summer is the only event to introduce more than 3 skins.
* The first event to introduce a new character alongside a skin was the Arcade Mayhem Event, introducing 8-Bit Baby as a separate character.
* Originally, the *Dark Circus* event was going to house 5 members, however, the final member was cut in favor of the Mashup Event.
* The *Blast from the Past Event* is called the "Mashup Event" within the files.
* The teaser for the *Blast from the Past Event* oddly reuses old renders for characters instead of making new ones.
* Originally, the *Halloween Event* was going to house 4 new characters, however, one of them had to be cut in favor of the Catrina Toy Chica skin.
	+ Illumix, in response to fan's reactions towards the skin, claimed that in the future the term "character" would be used to describe both characters and skins.
	+ The Haunted Forest event is the only event to have only 3 skin additions.
* The 2020 Winter Event was delayed by 1-2 days because of bug fixes backing up Illumix's schedule.
* The Blast from the Past Event is the first event to ever return for a second time.
	+ While there were holiday events in both December 2020 and December 2019, both were drastically different and are considered separate events.
* The three events returning in Blast from the Past part 2 were actually leaked on the day the event started, revealing that Arcade Mayhem, Sizzling Summer and Dark Circus would be the returning events.
* Blast from the Past part 2 oddly has a pop-up for each portion of the event explaining Event Tokens, despite Event Tokens not being accessible during the event.
