If you’re new to the franchise, or just looking to brush up on yoursurvival skills, this guide will help you navigate the treacherous nights atFreddy Fazbear’s Pizza.

Gameplay: Monitoring, Conserving, and Surviving

The core gameplay of the original Fnaf revolves aroundsurviving a security guard shift from midnight to 6 AM. You’re stationed in asmall security office with limited resources. You have access to securitycameras that allow you to monitor the animatronic characters – Freddy Fazbear,Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy – as they move around the pizzeria.

Your primary task is to prevent these animatronics fromreaching your office. Each has its own unique movement pattern and attackstrategy. Bonnie and Chica will typically approach from the left and rightdoorways, while Foxy, lurking in Pirate Cove, will sprint down the hall towardsyou. Freddy, the ringleader, is usually the most patient and strategicallymoves throughout the later nights.

You have two tools at your disposal: security doors andlights. You can close the doors on either side of your office to prevent theanimatronics from entering. However, closing the doors and using the lightsconsumes power. You have a limited amount of power per night, and if it runsout, you'll be left vulnerable to Freddy's inevitable arrival.

Each night gets progressively more challenging as theanimatronics become more aggressive. The key to surviving is carefully managingyour power consumption, prioritizing threats, and reacting quickly to anyunexpected movements.

Tips for Surviving the Night

• Conserve     Power: Resist the urge to constantly check the cameras. Only peek     when you suspect an animatronic might be on the move. Avoid keeping the     doors closed unnecessarily, as this drains power rapidly.
  
• Learn     the Animatronics' Patterns: Each animatronic behaves differently.     Pay close attention to their movements to anticipate their next actions.     For example, Foxy is much faster than the others, requiring a swift     response when he leaves Pirate Cove.
  
• Listen     Carefully: The audio cues in Fnaf are crucial. You can often hear     the animatronics moving even when you're not looking at the cameras.     Listening closely can provide valuable warnings and help you anticipate     attacks.
  
• Know     Your Priorities: Some animatronics are more dangerous than     others. Generally, Foxy is the biggest immediate threat, while Freddy is a     long-term concern. Prioritize dealing with the closest threat while     keeping an eye on the others. Some people find more information and even     the option to play the game for free at sites like Fnaf .
  
• Don't     Panic: While it's tempting to slam the doors shut at the     slightest noise, panicking will only lead to power depletion. Stay calm,     assess the situation, and make informed decisions.
