FAQ Lore Questions

This page was made to gather and answer the most frequently asked lore questions from each game going from Fnaf 1 to Fnaf HW 2.

## Five Nights at Freddy's

* What year is the game set in?

The answer is 1993 or 1992. Since the paycheck we get after completing night 5 matches with the minimum wage of those years.

Henry secret audio in Fnaf 6 says HRY223 or Henry 2023. Fnaf 6 happens at the same year as Fnaf 3 with the last one happening 30 years after Fnaf 1. So 2023-30= 1993.

Two unused Fnaf AR Faz-Facts confirms that the Fnaf 1 Freddy Fazbear Pizza opened in 1988 and closed in 1993.

* Is Mike Schimdt, Michael Afton?

It's very likely. In the Survival Logbook we discover that the book was already owned by someone named Mike. At the page 20 we see that Mike made a drawing of a Exotic Butters and a basket full of money,at the page 11 Mike draws two bongos and written "casual bongos" above them.

The Casual Bongos,The Money Basket and The Exotic Butters are mentioned/seen on the Sister Location events,which the protagonist is Michael Afton

So that possibly means that Mike Schimdt is Michael Afton under a fake name.

## Five Nights at Freddy's 2

* When does the game take place?

The main gameplay of FNAF2 takes place in late 1987. The paycheck in Night 5 shows the date 11-12-1987, which is November 12th, 1987. If the nights follow one another, the main gameplay takes place from November 8th-November 14th, 1987.

Although Phone Guy mentions that we took a "summer job," some interpret this as phone guy reading from an old script. It is revealed later that Fazbear Entertainment was planning on reusing the withered animatronics, retrofitting them with newer technology, and they may have originally planned to open in the summer before switching plans to the toy animatronics. "Summer job" is also theorized to mean a temporary or short-term job.

* Who do we play as in FNAF2?

In nights 1-6, we play as Jeremy Fitzgerald. In night 7, we play as Fritz Smith.

It is heavily theorized that Jeremy is the bite of '87 victim, as the last day it could have happened is the day Jeremy is switched to day shift and was told to stay close to the animatronics, right before the restaurant closes.

Fritz Smith works only one day before being fired for odor and tampering animatronics. Given the similar reason for being fired and the similar sounding last names, it is heavily theorized that Fritz Smith is Mike Schmidt under a different name. Mike Schmidt is theorized to be Michael Afton, which would also make Fritz Smith Michael Afton.

* What do the mini games mean?

Take Cake to the Children, or SAVEHIM, gives the player the origin story of the Puppet. In it, the player plays as an orange bear and gives cake to children inside a restaurant, either Freddy's or Fredbear's. Outside the restaurant, there is a child crying. A smiling bright purple guy, aka William Afton, pulls up in a purple car. While this is happening, the child's tears grow bigger and bigger, until the child turns grey, indicating the purple guy killed them. The purple guy drives away, and the player gets a Puppet jump scare. In the background of the mini game, the player can hear letters spell out SAVEHIM. This event is later clarified in Security Puppet.

Foxy Go Go Go gives the player the origin story of Withered Foxy. The player plays as Foxy, running from the Pirate's Cove curtain into a room with 5 kids. On the third time of doing this, the player will see the purple guy from the Take Cake to the Children mini game standing outside the curtain, smiling. When foxy enters the room with the 5 kids, they are all greyed out, implying they are dead. The player is then met with a Withered Foxy jump scare. This event is meant to represent the Missing Children's Incident (MCI) at the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, since that is where Withered Foxy came from.

SAVETHEM has the player play as Withered Freddy following the Puppet through the FNAF2 pizzeria. The player can find 5 bodies, many pools of blood, the purple guy, Golden Freddy teleporting, mangle moving around, the toy animatronics, the withered animatronics, the prize counter, the FNAF2 office desk, and party tables. Upon running into the purple guy, the player will be met with the message "you can't.' The mini game ends with static and no jump scare. In the background of the mini game, the player can hear letters spell out SAVETHEM. This mini game is generally viewed to be another event similar to the MCI, where the purple guy lured 5 kids into the FNAF2 pizzeria and killed them all. This is commonly referred to as the Dead Children's Incident (DCI).

Give Gifts, Give Life shows what happened after the MCI kids were killed by the purple guy. The mini game tells the player to "Give Gifts," and as the Puppet, the player will go around giving presents to 4 grey bodies. When the text tells the player to "Give Life," as the Puppet, the player gives the masks of Chica, Freddy, Bonnie, and Foxy to the corpses. After the fourth mask is put on, a fifth corpse appears in the center of the mini game for a frame, and the player gets a Withered Golden Freddy jump scare. In the background of the mini game, the player can hear letters spelling out HELPTHEM. Some believe this mini game represents the Puppet stuffing the children's bodies into the animatronics, some believe this is the Puppet leading the children's souls into the animatronics, and others believe this is a failed attempt at Happiest Day by the Puppet.
