Five Nights at Freddy's
Welcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see!

No cheat codes
Five Nights at Freddy's doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.
Play it better
- Every door and light you use drains power, so only shut a door when you actually see someone there.
- Bonnie comes from the left and Chica from the right; check the hall lights on each side regularly.
- Keep an eye on Pirate Cove on the cameras; Foxy charges faster if you ignore him too long.
- Freddy hides in the dark and moves more once the power is low, so listen for his laugh.
- Don't stare at the cameras nonstop; the camera panel uses power too.
- Each night lasts until 6 AM on the in-game clock, which is only a few real minutes, so pace your power.
