Another SCARY THEORY for Halloween! This time, by your popular request, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. 2014's hottest survival horror game seems simple at first. But once you start looking past the murderous animatronics, the true story behind Five Nights at Freddy's may be more sinister than you ever expected!
THIS GAME IS SO COMPLICATED! You asked for it and so we dug deep into the convoluted lore of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria to answer ALL the questions the game leaves out there. Is it a prequel or sequel? What's the actual timeline? And who IS the Golden Freddy Killer? We're spending another Five Nights at Freddy's, so prepare to be scared.
You requested it...and requested it and requested it...and it's finally here! With the release of FNAF 3, Game Theory dives into the ENTIRE Five Nights at Freddy's trilogy to answer EVERY major question from these games. What is Golden Freddy? Who is the Phone Guy? What's the deal with the Shadow animatronics? What's the TRUE timeline of the FNAF series? And most importantly of all, who is the Purple Guy? There's a lot to cover, so this is part 1 with part 2 coming next!

There's a lot to cover, so this is part 2 so make sure you have already seen part 1. this video is split into two due to copyright strikes on the channel at the time of upload.
FNAF 4 is here and this time I'm ready! I had originally planned for this episode to come out before FNAF 4 was released, but you can always count on Scott Cawthon to ruin all my plans... Either way, as soon as I started to see what this game was about in the trailers, I knew I had to come in and set the record straight. This episode is all about the evidence in the game that points straight toward the Bite of 87, as well as how the Bite of 87 itself makes FNAF 4 absolutely IMPOSSIBLE!
FNAF 4 has been pretty much the only thing you've been talking to me about online for the last eight WEEKS! Well the wait is over because the Five Nights at Freddy's lore theory is HERE! '83 vs '87? We got it. What's in the box? That's covered too. So hold your plushie Fredbear toys tight because we're diving deep into the ending of FNAF...and why it matters so much.
With the FNAF Halloween update finished and Scott moving on to the Five Nights at Freddy's novel and the upcoming FNAF World, it's time we look back and finally put to rest the original FNAF tetrology. We have all the pieces...but what are we missing? Scott Cawthon have us theorists some clues to go off of during our Five Nights at Freddy's livestream, which led to new revelations and me to discover the clue that breaks the entire FNAF series wide open! Prepare to have your mind blown!
It's the first LIVE episode of Game Theory, where we outline the FINAL timeline for Five Nights at Freddy's and then join up with Dawko, Razzbowski, Smike, and 8-Bit Gaming to put a close on the last year of FNAF.
Since the day FNAF Sister Location was announced, you've asked for theories about it! At first I didn't think there could be anything to say before the game actually came out, but I did my homework, dug into everything we know about the game...and found a few surprises. The result is today's theory, where I make my predictions for the latest iteration of FNAF...months before it even comes out! Am I right? Only time will tell...
I Am One of THEM! Truer words were never spoken. But this is no metaphor, this is straight up fact! Since FNAF Sister Location's release, people have been asking a lot of questions about what it all means. How does Sister Location fit with the rest of the FNAF Universe? And, who are you playing as? After weeks of piecing these puzzles together... I have the answer!
It's NEVER over with FNAF, and it's NEVER over for FNAF's most notorious killer, William Afton, AKA the Purple Guy! With this latest installment of the FNAF franchise, I finally found something I've never been able to find in any of the games leading up to this one: a REASON for the killer to hunt down and kill children. Now for the first time ever we can put together pieces of the FNAF universe that have never made sense and finally understand who will "Put you back together..."
All this time, I've been doing lore-based theories on FNAF, trying to piece together clues about the Purple Guy, the missing children, the Crying Child, Psychic Friend Fredbear. But today, I'm tackling the series from a different angle -- an old-school angle. Today, I'm looking at the SCIENCE of Five Nights at Freddy's, to see whether n animatronic would really have the BITING power necessary to break through bone. Could the bite we see in FNAF 4 really happen? Or is there something more sinister going on in the walls of Fredbear's Family Diner?
The release of The Twisted Ones may have been followed by the Cancellation of FNAF 6, but we can still use this book to get to the bottom of things! While Scott says the books are a separate canon, it's hard to deny that the books and games only seem more & more connected as they come out. And The Twisted Ones is no exception. In this episode, I will Reveal who created the animatronics in Sister Location and how these twisted robots can Control Your Mind!
I've spent years tormenting myself over the tiniest details of FNAF. Trying to piece together the ultimate FNAF theory. Losing countless sleepless nights to animatronics pacing my dreams. But I've finally done it! Scott Cawthon, I've solved your series. I have found the final pieces to this animatronic jigsaw puzzle. Loyal Theorists, I give you the FINAL ULTIMATE FNAF THEORY!
Here it is...the end of an era. Three years and almost twenty theories, but I think I have it. I think I've SOLVED FNAF. When you look at the timeline of events, all the major questions of the franchise start to make sense -- Who is inside Springtrap? Was FNAF 4 in 1983 or 1987? Where is Chica in Sister Location? What's the deal with Balloon Boy? So I went back and mapped out EVERY event to create the FINAL FNAF theory...answering all the lingering questions from the series and setting things up for Scott to eventually release FNAF 6. We all know it's coming so why resist?
I know I said the last FNAF episode was the last FNAF theory, But every time I think I've finished the FNAF theories, Scott releases a new game. It's like he's just sitting around with these finished games waiting for my theory to come out, then bam - he releases the new game. So you can probably expect FNAF 7 sometime next month.
For two years, one mystery has continued to linger over the FNAF franchise -- what was in the box? In FNAF 4, the final image is a locked box with the message "Some things are best left forgotten for now." But with the series over, now is the time to answer...WHAT WAS IN IT? Well, it's not all that easy to answer. Because it's my theory, my FNAF theory, that the contents of the box have changed three times. So what was meant to be in FNAF 4's box vs what ended up in it when the credits rolled in FNAF 6? I think we've already seen the solution!
The Five Nights at Freddy's series has been the rotten cheese on my pizza for long enough. I'm ready to say it - I GIVE UP! You win, Scott Cawthon. YOU. WIN. Your story makes no sense! And, boy, have I TRIED to make sense out of it. Today Loyal Theorists, I give UP!
In the last Theory I told you how FNAF and Scott had be STUMPED. Except, I can't give up. I've invested so much into this franchise. There are clues littered EVERYWHERE in the games and the books. So many that even now, we know MORE! Today Loyal Theorists, we start to piece together the full story!
FNAF Ultimate Custom Night confirmed what we've said since the beginning. Today Theorists, it all comes full circle. Who is Golden Freddy? What is the POINT of Ultimate Custom Night? This is what the story has been leading to ALL ALONG and I am here to explain it all!
We've come a long way Theorists. Today, I am DETERMINED to put together the complete and FINAL timeline for Five Nights at Freddy's. From beginning to end, first bight to burning everything to dust - this is IT! Join me Theorists, as we finish FNAF once and for all!
Did you know Theory Merch can have the same kind of mystery as FNAF? Get your Back To School Theory Wear and solve our puzzle! Today Theorists, we are finishing the FNAF timeline! What you've been WAITING to know is - how does this story END? Where have all the games been leading? Well Theorists, I am FINALLY going to tell you!
FNAF is back again. This game never really ends, does it? This time Scott Cawthon put up teasers for the new installment, Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted. Of course then he took the main image down for other reasons, but that's for another day. Today, I am here to tell you that I have figured out the ENTIRE new lore for FNAF VR. From our return to Sister Location, to what this all means for this beloved franchise - it's going to get DARK! Are you ready, Theorists?
Just a little while ago, Scott Cawthon resurfaced with a FNAF 7 teaser image that was quickly removed because - SHOCKER - it contained fan created models of the FNAF characters. If that sounds complicated, the short of it is that Scott (or rather his team) used fanart in their official teaser image. Those of us who have been on the internet for a little while know that is a big no-no. Yet if Scott owns the characters, but the fan artist owns the fanart, who has a right to the art? It's the big copyright paradox! Today I aim to unravel that knot!
FNAF is back with it's first official VR game "Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted". You know what that means Theorists - the story is not over yet! Well, mostly. I think this is the start of a whole new chapter of FNAF lore. The old story had its ending, William Afton trapped in limbo forever. The new story has a new villain, YOU... sort of. What do I mean? Get ready Theorists, FNAF is just getting started!
What if we rethink the ENTIRE lore of FNAF? I'm talking taking it back to the crying child, Afton and the original suits and a mysterious Orange - yes ORANGE - Man that no one was able to figure out. What if William Afton was not the only bad guy in the story? What if someone drove Afton into becoming Purple Guy? What if Henry had a bigger part to play all along? Today we are rewriting Five Nights at Freddy's with a new twist based on NEW evidence.
FNAF is back... but not in the way you may be thinking. Oh, we are getting a new game alright. Scott has started teasing FNAF AR and it made me realize something. We've been fooled! I was trying to slot in FNAF VR into the timeline as we knew it but, in fact, this is a brand new timeline - the REAL timeline! You see, everything before FNAF VR has been a TRICK! Scott has been lying to us the whole time!
Welcome back to Five Nights at Freddy's, where today we are diving into the successor of William Afton - or rather his cult. The Cult of Glitchtrap. You see, with the release of the FNAF VR: Help Wanted DLC, Curse of Dreadbear, we were introduced to what looks to be our new big bad of the series moving forward. If you missed it in your playthrough, don't worry. I've gathered all the clues and easter eggs to give us a clear picture of the future of FNAF.
With the release of the new Five Nights At Freddy's book series Fazbear Frights, the first 3 stories of which have been released, we have been introduced a monumental piece of information. The first pizzeria and, with it, the first round of doomed kids - the attack BEFORE the bite of 1987. What does this mean for the timeline and lore? Watch and find out!
In my previous FNAF episode that dived into the new Fazbear Frights book series, I said I was going to come back to one of the characters for a closer look. Today is that day! I am taking a hard look at the boy in the time traveling ball pit, Oswald. You see, I think we may have found the person making these FNAF games. No, I don't mean Scott and the games in our world, I mean the in cannon creator of the FNAF games that was mentioned in FNAF VR. Why Oswald? Watch to find out!
With the release of the new FNAF book, it was time to dive back into the land of FNAF Theory! All FNAF, all the time! In all seriousness, this new set of stories could be a GAME CHANGER for what we know about the animatronics and how they were made. It looks like Purple Guy may have been CRAZIER than we thought - how is that even possible?! Get ready, Theorists! We are making FNAF even SCARIER!
With all the pushes going on in media, like the MCU and James Bond, it's good to know that Five Nights at Freddy's is still going strong and coming out with new stories for me to theorize about. One of my favorite FNAF characters is the little plush monster himself, Psychic Friend Fredbear. He, and the other monster toys found throughout the FNAF franchise, are FULL of secrets. What are these toys and what do they have to do with stealing the forms of human children? Let's dive in!
There's a new FNAF book, which means it's time for Game Theory to re-dip it's toes into Book Theory! The books, as we've discussed, may be a separate timeline but what we learn in them provide us with clues to the main Five Nights At Freddy's lore. Today we are taking a closer look at Golden Freddy and seeing if the new evidence shows that we were WRONG about our conclusion on his secret identity. Get your exotic butters ready Theorists and let's get into it!
Last FNAF episode we started talking about all of the things introduced in the newest installments of the Fazbear Frights book series. Today we are going all in on Five Nights At Freddy's newest killer. The creepy figure that has been lurking in the background of these scary stories. The Stitchwraith! What, or who, is this mysterious killer? Well, put on your animatronic suit Theorists! We are going deep into the lore today!
Today Loyal Theorists and FNAF fans, we get ready to lock in another piece of the Five Nights at Freddy's puzzle. Remember the awful brother in the Foxy mask from FNAF 4? Well I have finally figured out the true identity of Foxy Bro! That's rights, I'm saying I've CONFIRMED a new piece of FNAF lore... until Scott decides to chance things....
Yes, it's time to talk about FNAF lore... again! Theorists, today we are solving one of the BIGGEST mysteries in the Five Nights At Freddy's universe - Golden Freddy. I know I've talked at length about our favorite golden animatronic bear, but here me out. The newest Fazbear Frights book CONFIRMED it! It's time to uncover the SOULS stuck inside Golden Freddy!
You probably read the title and thought something like, "There goes MatPat, trying to figure out a FNAF game that's not even out yet." Well, you may be RIGHT but you are also WRONG! I'm not "trying" to solve the big TWIST of FNAF Security Breach. All of my days of gathering evidence and researching the Five Nights at Freddy's universe means that I KNOW my stuff. In fact, I know it SO WELL that I can predict - without playing the game - what we will learn that will change the shape of the FNAF story moving forward. What is it? How do I KNOW? Theorists, you'll have to watch to find out.
The original Five Nights at Freddy's spawned many sequels and sister games. Over the years I've played them all and through that stumbled upon the phenomena that is FNAF fan games. Games so loved by FNAF fans that those games have ALSO created their own universes - some linked to the original game and some all their own. These games have gotten so big that it's a wonder they haven't been struck down by the copyright powers that be - and there is a VERY specific reason they haven't. You see, Scott Cawthon has learned one thing that most game companies never have and likely never will - community.
You may be thinking, "Hey MatPat, don't we already know everything about Crying Child?" No, Theorists, we do NOT and you proved it! "Crying Child" is what we've referred to the victim of the Bite of '83 as since the beginning but that child has a name! A name I have figured out! This is one of the oldest mysteries of the franchise and I am sure that we've cracked it wide open! Theorists, no FNAF mystery will go unsolved as long as I am on the case.
Theorists, I have been up to my ears in FNAF theories lately and so I thought, " Why not do a rapid fire of 3 mini-theories in one episode?" That's right, you get not one, not two, but THREE theories today! WE are talking everything from new clues to FNAF Security Breach to what is going on in the newest Fazbear Frights books, to maybe even uncovering the TRUE villain we've all been overlooking! No time to waste! Let's dive in!
Welcome back to MatPat has too many FNAF theories, that he needs to put multiple in an episode! Today we are going to cover 3 more short Five Nights At Freddy's theories, focusing mainly on the new books. From more information on the ever important Cassidy, to William Afton's time travel shenanigans, there is a LOT to cover! Let's dive into this time traveling ball pit, shall we?
We need to talk about the FNAF franchise. This is a franchise that has meant so much, not just to me and the channel but to the entire community that formed around it. There is a lot to cover and I hope you'll take the time to watch to get my point of view on everything that has happened recently.
It's time for another 3 New FNAF Theories video, where I cram a bunch of new theories too short for their own video into one! From the books, to new information on FNAF Security Breach, and more - it is all here! This time we are focusing on the simple, easy task of figuring out the FNAF timeline. Get ready to throw it all out the window... again!
Get Your Holiday Theory Wear NOW! ► https://creatorink.co/4wj FNAF Security Breach is nearly upon us! Before it arrives, I want to see if I can predict all of the twists and turns and, most of all, the ending. Today I will tell you about the future of FNAF, the end of Afton, and the rise of a certain, pigtailed animatronic. Prepare yourselves, Theorists!
Theorists, it's finally time for a Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach theory. Well, a post-release FNAF Security Breach theory. Don't worry, I will be covering EVERYTHING I can find. The biggest thing I want to talk about today, however, is Gregory. The young boy that we play as throughout the whole game is a big mystery and I intend to solve it! Who is he? Why is he there after hours? Is he even HUMAN? It's time to dive back into FNAF!
Theorists, FNAF is my bread and butter. It has taken over my life and my brain. So when I say I think Gregory is a robot, I'm not kidding around. Today, I'm doubling down on my last theory. PLUS we are diving even deeper into the lore hidden in Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach!
I am diving back into the neon world of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach! I'm trying to answer the BIG questions left in the wake of this game. 1. Where is Golden Freddy? and 2. What happened to Glamrock Bonnie? You'll have to stick around to find out!
Theorists, I am finally ready to talk about it. You know what I mean. The secret CDs from FNAF Security Breach. I've mentioned them in previous theories but I've never really TALKED about them. You see, they seem to be the key to EVERYTHING... except they aren't. Theorists, I think Five Nights at Freddy's finally broke its own lore... and maybe for good.
Theorists, I've been catching up on my reading and you know what that means. That's right, it's time to talk about the FNAF book series, Fazbear Frights. Has FNAF truly jumped the shark this time? Let's break down the clues and find out!
Look out Theorists! The Blob is coming! Well, it's been here and you've been asking me to talk about it. FNAF has many mysteries, one of the strangest of which is the Blob. What is it? What does it want? Today we are going to dissect the secrets of what may be Five Nights At Freddy's strangest monster yet. Let's go!
I'm back with 3 more FNAF theories! From the FNAF Security Breach DLC poster to the Fazbear Frights books, I will NEVER be done with Five Nights At Freddy's. Never. Ever. Let's see what mysteries we can solve today!
Theorists, FNAF has gone and made its lore even more complicated. Well, sort of. You see, in true Five Nights at Freddy's fashion, things are not how they seem. In fact, much of the lore may be a LIE to keep us from the truth! Today we are turning back the clock to the first four games and proving that everything about them is a TRICK!
Friends, I am so sorry for the FNAF theory that we’re presenting to you today. This upsets me as much as it does you, and as frustrating as it might be to hear, I really do think it’s right. There’s just too much evidence surrounding Baby being the one working from the shadows to run Fazbear Entertainment to ignore. I believe she’s doing her best to follow through on the promise she made back in FNAF 6, “I will make you proud, Daddy.” So lower your pitchforks, put out those torches… and hear me out with this one.
Theorists, today I'm taking you all the way back… before FNAF Security Breach, before Sister Location, before any of the games that we currently know and LOVE. We’re going back to the inception of Fazbear Entertainment. I’ve recently made a discovery that changes everything… not necessarily a great discovery, I’d maybe go as far as to call it… Mediocre.
Theorists, today is the day! Today we begin unveiling the FNAF timeline that we’ve been working so hard to get done! This is only the first part of what will be multiple episodes but we’ve worked so hard and feel REALLY good about what we’ve got. So today we’re going WAY back before anything we know about the FNAF games. So get yourselves ready for this, because there are some things in here that will change EVERYTHING!
Friends, today I’m back with part 2 of our FNAF timeline, what we’re dubbing “The Afton Era”. This spans most of what we see in the games. I’m excited to finally be diving into the games after spending the last episode having to do a lot of extrapolating from outside sources. You all are going to want to STRAP IN for this one, cause it’s gonna get CRAZY
Loyal Theorists, today we return with part 3 of our FNAF Ultimate Timeline! After covering the rise of William Afton and his descent into madness a few weeks ago today we're moving forward a bit in the timeline, talking about Sister Location to FNAF 6. There is SO much happening in this "Modern Era" of FNAF and I can't wait to share it all with you! So bust out the EXOTIC Butters and settle in!
Friends, welcome to the FINAL part of our FNAF Timeline, t's been quite a ride putting this all together! Sure, there may still be some unanswered questions but I truly feel like this timeline solves a lot of questions that we've had for a long time and honestly poses some really interesting new ones. I'm so excited to see where we go next with this franchise and you all know I'll be right here with you pulling my hair out trying to make sense of it! Thank you all for theorizing alongside me!
Loyal Theorists, today I'm tackling one of the most recent FNAF BOMBSHELLS. The recent reveals of The Mimic, The Storyteller, and GGY have set the FNAF community ablaze. What does all this mean? You mean MatPat was RIGHT when he kept saying that the books were important? How does this all tie into Ruin and the larger FNAF story? Well, I'm here to answer all of those questions for you friends. So sit down in front of the HUGE white tiger animatronic... because it's time for a STORY!
Friends, Ruin is finally here! The game we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived and you know I just HAD to get one more theory in before it proves me totally wrong! After finally catching up on all of the graphic novels, books, short stories, epilogs, and EVERYTHING else this franchise has to offer, I’ve got one final prediction about where the future of Five Nights At Freddy's is heading. So ALT + F4 out of everything else and settle in for a nice little pre-ruin appetizer.
Friends, Since Five Nights At Freddy's Ruin came out there have been SO many unanswered questions within the community! Which Security Breach ending is canon? Is that OUR Fredy? What really happened to Cassie? I'm here today with all of those answers and MORE! So get those VANNY masks on so we can all see the TRUTH together!
Loyal Theorists, welcome back to the never-ending grind that is Five Nights at Freddy's! Today we’re back exploring more of the questions that were left unanswered from Ruin. Questions about Cassie, The Mimic, and surprise guest star… Glamrock Bonnie. So settle in friends, because this one is gonna be good!
Friends, today we need to talk about FNAF. I know that seems like the norm around here but today is a bit different. Things in the Five Nights at Freddy's community have been a bit hostile of late, it's hard to present an opinion, or a theory, without being attacked pretty heavily, and it's not just me thats feeling this. So let's talk about that because I think I know why this is happening.
Friends, throughout all the recent FNAF releases some thoughts keep popping into the back of my mind, while yes we have all new kinds of mysteries to solve with Ruin and Help Wanted 2, we also STILL have some unresolved questions from Security Breach. From the specially colored balloons to a possible Monty Golf code and most recently the tally mark code... what does it all mean?! To answer that, I'm gonna need YOUR help!
To round out the year of FNAF I think it’s only fitting we talk about Help Wanted 2. This game had some MAJOR lore reveals and seemingly confirmed A LOT of the things we’ve been theorizing about over here for the past year or so! That’s always a good feeling, but there is one thing specifically that this game alludes to that just might change EVERYTHING we thought we knew about Five Nights At Freddy’s…
