Complete Fnaf lore
FNAF 4
In 1983, the success of Fredbear’s Family Diner spawns Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a restaurant where animatronics could venture beyond the stage. Around this time, Emily and Afton developed springlock suits, which allowed employees to wear the animatronics as a suit, compressing their mechanisms with springs. They proved extremely dangerous, as the springs holding the locks could become disengaged, skewering the employee inside. Due to the success of these emergent technologies, William installed cameras in his home to watch his children, including his youngest son, who was deathly afraid of the Fredbear animatronic. During the youngest Afton's birthday, Afton’s older son Michael played a prank on his brother, placing his head in Fredbear’s mouth. To everyone’s shock, the animatronic clamped its jaw down on the young boy’s head, killing him.
Five Night at Freddy's 4 features the earliest events depicted in FNAF’s video game titles. The player takes on the role of a child in their own bedroom. Over the course of five nights, the child is haunted by grotesque and terrifying manifestations of the FNAF animatronics, including Chica, Bonnie, Freddy, and Foxy. However, additional nights reveal a frightening version of the Fredbear animatronic, as well.
Through unique minigames, a means through which early FNAF titles dispelled their lore, players learn that the child was actually Afton’s youngest son. Fans learn that the event in which Fredbear’s jaw clamped down and killed him is referred to as the Bite of '83 and that the incident led to the closure of Fredbear's Family Diner. Sometime around these events, William Afton killed his first victim, Henry Emily’s daughter, Charlotte. She is later revealed to possess the Puppet animatronic and become the protector of the souls of Afton’s later victims.
Tales Of The Pizzaplex: The Mimic
The FNAF book series often portrays the franchise's lore through parallel stories with changed names and locations. However, the Mimic storyline has broken into the video game series’ canon, making it necessary to add it to the lore timeline.
The Mimic was an animatronic, consisting of only a head, torso, and arms, created by Fazbear Engineer Edwin Murray, who many fans believe to be a parallel to Henry Emily. Designed to mimic best practices, the animatronic learns through observation before mimicking the behavior. Edwin seemingly created the technology to program all of Fazbear Entertainment's animatronics and systems through teaching, which could streamline the development of characters, stories, and systems.
The very first individual the animatronic mimicked was Edwin’s son, David. However, David’s death saw the creator turn on his creation, as the Mimic continued to impersonate David after death, reminding his father of his failure. Through a violent outburst from Edwin, the Mimic's core program, mimic1, learned violence, creating an important virtual entity for FNAF’s most recent storyline, the mimic1 virus. Edwin disappeared, and Fazbear employees were sent to recover his work. They discovered another team was there, and that they “fixed” the Mimic by attaching legs. The Mimic began to impersonate people's voices and lure employees to their deaths, hiding within the locations’ many experimental mascot suits. The Mimic was seemingly recovered by Fazbear Entertainment and used, years later, in the development of animatronics. (Can you see the parallel to William Afton lmao)
FNAF 2
Five Night at Freddy's 2 sees the player take on the role of Night Security Guard Jeremy Fitzgerald at a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location in 1987. Over the course of five nights, Jeremy must survive the roaming animatronics by wearing a Freddy mask when they enter the security office. The title sees the introduction of three new animatronics -- the Mangle, Balloon Boy, and the Puppet -- which players must keep in check alongside new versions of Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy. Phone Guy, a mysterious individual calls Jeremy on the office phone each night, providing players with crucial information about the prior day’s events and the location's history. (Transcripts in next chapters!)
FNAF's Phone Guy later reveals that this specific location of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is about to be the subject of a police investigation. On the fifth night, Phone Guy informs the player that the location is in lockdown, as an unspecified event during the day shift has made it so that no employees, even those who are no longer employed, can enter or leave the restaurant. FNAF 2’s minigames reveal that it was the site of multiple murders, each involving young children. The murderer is depicted as a Purple Man, with Phone Guy’s call on the sixth night implying his use of a yellow rabbit suit. It is revealed that the Puppet, possessed by Henry Emily's daughter Charlotte, places the victims' souls in the FNAF 1 animatronics, giving them life once again.
Sister Location
Sister Location’s place in Five Nights at Freddy's timeline is up for debate, but many (and myself) believe it runs nearly parallel to the original Five Nights at Freddy's game. The title’s unreliable AI assistant HandUnit states, “Due to the massive success, and even more so the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, it was clear that the stage was set -- no pun intended -- for another contender in children’s entertainment.” This is seemingly in reference to the Bite of ’87 in FNAF 2. The same incident is brought up in Night 1 of the original Five Nights at Freddy’s, by a returning source of guidance.
Sister Location begins with William Afton being questioned about strange design choices in his new animatronics. Players take on the role of Michael Afton, the brother of FNAF 4’s victim and new overnight employee of Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental, a new venture that rents out animatronics for birthdays and events. The title features animatronics from the now-closed Circus Baby’s Pizza World, including Circus Baby, Funtime Foxy, Funtime Freddy, and Ballora the Ballerina. Michael is tasked with checking each animatronic across five nights and fixing various errors and glitches.
Sister Location is the first FNAF title to allow movement; the player navigates the facility checking for maintenance tasks. However, it soon becomes the series’ first narrative adventure, as Michael allies with Circus Baby to avoid the other animatronics and free himself from a springlock suit. During the final night, Circus Baby instructs Mike to destroy her empty body after removing a chip from her arm containing “what is good” so that only the bad will be destroyed. Michael is tricked into entering the Scooping Room, where it is revealed that the “Circus Baby Voice” instructing Michael is actually a malevolent amalgamation called Ennard, who scoops Michael’s insides out, before entering his body and leaving the location. Sometime later, Ennard is vomited out of Michael’s body, but he somehow comes back to life. (The cause is very clearly remanent but I don’t think it’s confirmed how) Sister Location’s core minigame reveals that Circus Baby killed William Afton’s daughter, Elizabeth, who now possesses the animatronic.
FNAF 1
Five Nights at Freddy's sees players in the role of Night Guard Mike Schmidt, later implied to be a returning Michael Afton. Over the course of five nights, Mike is offered guidance from a returning “Phone Guy”, who again relays the history of the restaurant’s checkered past. Due to the Bite of '87, FNAF 2's daytime incident, this location’s animatronics - Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy – are no longer allowed to wander the restaurant during the day. They are therefore permitted to explore at night to keep their motors from locking up.
Newspaper clippings in the Five Nights at Freddy's restaurant hallway reveal that a man had lured five children into the back of the restaurant and killed them. The children's bodies were never found, but the restaurant quickly began to receive complaints of the animatronics emitting a strange odor. The fourth night’s message implies that “Phone Guy” has been killed by an animatronic. Following the unlockable Seventh Night, Schmidt (is fired for tampering with the animatronics and giving off a foul smell.
FNAF 3
Taking place roughly 30 years after Five Nights at Freddy's, FNAF 3 has players take on the role of an unnamed Security Guard at the Fazbear’s Frights Haunted Attraction. The attraction is meant to capitalize on the “ghost stories” that have spread about Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and theories suggest that its protagonist is either Michael Afton or Henry Emily. Over the course of five nights, the guard must fend off a single enemy, Springtrap, who has emerged from a hidden room in the Fazbear’s Frights Attraction. The player is once again guided by a series of voicemail messages, which relay that the staff at Fazbear's Fright has discovered an old, deteriorated, and rabbit-like animatronic and tapes from the original Phone Guy.
Phone Guy’s Tapes instruct employees on how to operate springlock suits, which allow characters to function as both animatronics and costumes for employees. The tapes also reveal a back room that is “always off camera” and should not be shown to customers. It is revealed through various minigames that William Afton’s corpse is inside Springtrap, having triggered its springlocks in the hidden back room. The malfunction was caused by a confrontation between Afton and the souls of his victims, whom the Puppet had placed in the original Five Nights at Freddy's animatronics during FNAF 2’s minigames.
Springtrap remained in the room for 30 years but was released by Fazbear Fright’s employees. At the game’s conclusion, the protagonist attempts to destroy Afton by burning down the attraction but fails. FNAF 3's events led to what was originally meant to be the Five Nights at Freddy's series' final entry. However, the title would prove to be the kick-off for a brand-new era, as it introduced a location that would recur in FNAF titles to come.
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
In Pizzeria Simulator, the player is a franchisee of the freshly re-branded Fazbear Entertainment Inc. and runs a restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place. The title sees the player-character, Michael Afton, tasked with preparing the restaurant for a “big party on Saturday” which requires investments in decorations and animatronics, as well as the completion of managerial tasks at night. Michael must also choose whether to salvage or dispose of mysterious animatronics that have been left outside the restaurant at the start of each day, an obligation of his contract under "Paragraph 4." These animatronics are Scrap Baby, which is the “bad part” of Circus Baby following her ejection from Ennard; Molten Freddy, the reconfigured Ennard animatronics; Lefty, a black bear animatronic housing the Puppet; and Scraptrap, a burnt and decaying Springtrap, following his escape from Fazbear’s Frights. During nighttime maintenance, Michael must survive attacks from the salvaged animatronics.
In Pizzeria Simulator’s “Completion” ending, Michael successfully gathers all the souls of victims from past games. After a brief monologue, in which Scrap Baby asserts that she will use the souls to make Afton proud, she is interrupted by Henry Emily, the title’s true orchestrator. Henry burns down the restaurant, with Scrap Baby, Lefty, William Afton, Ennard, and Michael trapped inside, ending Afton’s legacy once and for all. He addresses Elizabeth, Charlotte, and William directly, saying their souls are now freed. He then addresses Michael, whom he believes will wish to die alongside them. The game concludes with the player being told that Fazbear Entertainment is no longer a corporate entity.
Ultimate Custom Night
Ultimate Custom Night has no true narrative, as it is actually a series of never-ending nightmares from the perspective of William Afton. The most widely accepted explanation for the title comes from the Fazbear Frights book series. In a short story thought to parallel the game’s canon, titled The Man In Room 1280, a burnt Afton, on the brink of death following Pizzeria Simulator, is kept alive by a malevolent entity. The entity keeps him alive in the hospital, despite his mortal injuries, forcing him to pay for his crimes by experiencing a recurring cycle in which he is killed by his own creations. The one responsible for Afton's torment is heavily theorized to be Cassidy, one of Afton’s earliest victims, whose spirit possesses the rare Golden Freddy animatronic in FNAF 1 and FNAF 2.
Help Wanted
Help Wanted, also called the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience, is an in-universe VR game, meant to undo the damage caused by a "rogue indie developer", series creator Scott Cawthon. Fazbear Entertainment LLC, established in roughly 2030, first hired Silver Parasol Games as the development team for The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience, which made video games out of the “fake” tales that have been spread about Fazbear Entertainment's restaurants. In order to expedite the process, Fazbear Entertainment supplied the developers with old circuit boards and other technology from vintage animatronics to help with pathing for characters in the game. This released the Glitchtrap Virus, which many now believe to be the mimic1 virus, leading to the death of a playtester named Jeremy. It’s theorised that glitch trap tormented Jeremy while he was playtesting leading to his ultimate demise (DONT get all the Jeremy’s mixed up I think Scott just liked the name)
A character called Tape Girl was tasked with finishing Jeremy’s work. However, she soon discovered the details of his incident through emails between Fazbear LLC and the indie developer, revealing their working together. Tape Girl decides to isolate pieces of the virus among various digital recording tapes. Within these files, she leaves messages for the player character, Vanessa, telling her that collecting all digital tapes will set the stage for Glitchtrap’s escape.
During the Curse of Dreadbear DLC, Vanessa is led to find a bunny mask (V.A.N.N.I mask) , which results in her being possessed by the Glitchtrap virus. This possession kicks off the narrative of both FNAF: Special Delivery and Security Breach. Around this same time, construction begins on the Mega Pizzaplex, a massive fun center, filled with arcades and restaurants. During its pre-construction planning, an unknown individual ordered it to be built on top of a pre-existing establishment, Pizzeria Simulator’s Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place. You can also see at the end of help wanted when you exit the building you can see the construction off the mega pizzaplex taking place!
Tales of the Pizzaplex: The Mimic Epilogues and The Storyteller
The Tales of the Pizzaplex Epilogues continue the story of the Mimic. A team of construction workers is given the task of clearing Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place of damaged endoskeletons, left behind by Henry’s burning of the restaurant in Pizzeria Simulator. They aim to turn Pizza Place into a museum as part of the construction of the Mega Pizzaplex. In addition to the workers, a unique animatronic, programmed with the mimic1 virus, is part of the crew. It is given the task of removing the heads and arms from the trashed endoskeletons but begins to do the same to the construction crew. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place is sealed off with concrete to keep the Mimic trapped inside.
Sometime later, a group of teenagers sneaks into Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, through a vent, and encounter the Mimic. The Mimic utilizes its ability to copy human voices, claiming to be someone trapped in the backstage area of the Pizza Place. When the teens investigate, the Mimic ambushes them. With only one Epilogue remaining, all but one of the teens have been killed by the Mimic in this story.
In The Storyteller it is revealed that the Mimic1 virus runs the Mega Pizzaplex. It was installed into a large mechanism called The Storyteller, which feeds information, songs, and stories to the location's animatronics. Many of Tales of the Pizzaplex’s short stories reference the Storyteller’s influence. One of the series' most recent entries, Tiger Rock, sees a virtual animatronic emerge from the Pizzaplex's VR attraction and rip off a child’s arms and legs, following the directive given to the Mimic sealed still sealed within the Pizza Place.
Special Delivery AR
According to Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Ultimate Guidebook, which collects in-universe files and documents from the FNAF series, the success of Help Wanted led Fazbear executives to explore methods of making the FNAF series a reality. Given the success of the VR approach, they sought to “insert FNAF into the real world.” This led to the Fazbear Funtime Delivery Service, which could send animatronics to people’s real homes to keep them company. However, this work was outsourced to another company, which accidentally scanned a virus into its code, leading the animatronics to attempt to kill each home's inhabitants. Emails between the service's developers and Fazbear Entertainment LLC revealed that Vanessa played a major part in its corruption, using it to collect Remnant, a source of energy used to bond souls to inanimate objects, for an unknown reason.
Tales of the Pizzaplex: GGY
Tales of the Pizzaplex features a canon-parallel story in which journalism student Tony hopes to discover the identity of a kid who has risen to the top of nearly every Mega Pizzaplex arcade cabinet’s leaderboard. This player, known only as "GGY" becomes the focal point of a class assignment, in which Tony and two other classmates, nicknamed Boots and Dr. Rabbit, investigate the origin of GGY. Tony discovers that GGY is a hacker who has modified their Play Pass to access employee-only locations in the Pizzaplex. He discovers that GGY has lured others into the Pizzaplex after-hours and that he seems to control the location’s Freddy animatronic, who is now following Tony.
Security breach
Prior to the events of Security Breach, Help Wanted’s Vanessa lures all the Pizzaplex’s employees to a staff meeting, promising them a cake. Following this meeting, she is the only employee left on the night shift, setting the stage for Glitchtrap’s plan to come to fruition. However, a small boy, named Gregory, is inhabiting the Pizzaplex as well and allies himself with Glamrock Freddy to survive until 6 am. The two attempt to obtain a series of security badges, in order to access certain exits of the Pizzaplex.
Gregory soon encounters the Sun and Moon animatronic, with the latter version re-appearing every hour throughout the night, in an attempt to catch Gregory. Gregory also sees a mysterious dancing rabbit, Vanny, aka Vanessa, exploring the Pizzaplex. Despite chasing him in certain areas, along with the locations other animatronics - Chica, Roxy Wolf, and Monty Gator, Vanny's motivations are uncertain. While Freddy can see his fellow animatronics, he cannot see Vanny in his present state, leading Gregory to search for alternative means of surviving the night.
Gregory soon starts to upgrade Freddy, using parts from the other Glamrock animatronics. He receives Chica’s voicebox, Monty’s Claws, and Roxy’s Eyes, which allow him to see hidden items, locations, and, finally, Vanny. At 6 am, Gregory has the choice to leave the Pizzaplex, confront Vanny, save Vanny, or explore Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place, below the Pizzaplex. In the game’s seemingly canon ending, Gregory frees Vanessa from the Glitchtrap virus through three Princess Quest arcade cabinets. Gregory, Vanessa, and Glamrock Freddy’s head escape the Pizzaplex.
Security breach: RUIN
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach RUIN follows a young girl, Cassie, as she explores the Pizzaplex in response to a radio distress call from Security Breach's Gregory. Cassie is tasked with using Vanessa’s discarded V.A.N.N.I. mask to disable the Pizzaplex's security nodes, which have locked Gregory beneath Roxy Raceway. Throughout her journey toward Roxy Raceway, Cassie encounters destroyed versions of the Glamrock Animatronics. Cassie is forced to save, destroy, or reboot the animatronics in order to successfully disable every security node, but is hunted by a mysterious digital entity, taking the form of a glitchy Blue Bunny.
Cassie’s journey takes her deep below the Pizzaplex, to the basement of Pizzeria Simulator’s Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. Upon reaching Gregory's location, Cassie must use a forklift to destroy a cement block that has sealed Gregory in a mysterious room. Upon doing so, it is revealed that Cassie has undone the work of The Tales of the Pizzaplex Epilogues’ construction crew and that the radio distress calls were coming from The Mimic. The animatronic was impersonating Gregory, in order to lure Cassie inside Freddy' Fazbear's Pizza Place to free it.
FNAF RUIN's final moments confirm the Mimic was locked away long before the construction of the Mega Pizzaplex, with the events of both Security Breach and RUIN stemming from its attempts to escape using Vanessa, Gregory, and, later, Cassie to escape. The game’s bad ending sees Gregory explain the Mimic to Cassie, before causing the elevator that she is in to plummet to the ground, keeping the Mimic from finding Vanessa, Freddy, and himself. While some fans believe this voice could again be the Mimic, the game's files confirm that the actual Gregory causes the elevator to plummet. In the game’s secret ending, The Mimic is “scooped” like Michael in Sister Location, and Cassie survives.
Help Wanted 2
I’m still looking into help wanted 2 now but here’s a sum of it. There is a total of 40 playable levels in the game. After completing fifteen normal levels, players can unlock more difficult levels by removing a Security Mask, which cranks up the difficulty and distraction in every game. There are a total of 6 Faz Force figures to collect, which will trigger the first ending. There’s also a secret princess quest mini game which connects to security breaches princess quest games. Once again I’m still looking into help wanted 2 lore so not much lmao
FNAF Movie
At Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, a once-successful but now abandoned pizzeria and family entertainment center, a night guard desperately attempts to screw open a vent inside the main office, with something outside banging on the Security Office door. He eventually manages to unscrew it and crawls through to the storage room. He sees a locked gate and tries to open it to no avail. An animatronic suddenly charges at him and and straps to a chair where an animatronic head gets close to his face with spinning blades. He tries to unscrew the chair but only managing to get one screw off before it goes to his face, brutally killing him off screen. The screen then pans to the main area, the lights still on, and then focuses on a picture of a yellow rabbit holding hands with five other children.
The scene then cuts to mall security guard Mike Schmidt, who wakes up at 6:00AM. He lazily turns off the alarm and puts some pills in the drawer before getting up and doing his workout. He gets dressed and goes to Abby's bedroom only to find her not in bed. He sees her makeshift tent in the corner of the room, with Abby inside. He calls out to her again but she doesn't respond to him. He gets agitated and goes up to the tent, shaking it before she eventually comes out and calls him a jerk. He reminds her that she knows that he has to go to work and to get dressed in 5 minutes, with her responding to him by throwing a teddy bear at him.
The scene cuts to his coworker, Jeremiah reading a book called "Dream Theory" stating "And though the dreamer remains asleep, he walks through memory as if experiencing it for the first time anew. No longer a passenger, but an active participant." Jeremiah laughs at it, asking if its for real. Mike respond that some people think so and that it depends on what you believe. He then talks about how he wishes he was in that scenario and asks if he could keep it, to which Mike declines and takes the book from him.
Afterwards, Mike goes to the Ice Cream Parties area and waits behind a lady who orders a "Walnut Fudge but with the fudge on the side so it won't melt the ice cream, as well as some whipped cream on top and three cherries". Mike notices a young boy on the side, but gets distracted by Cindy who asks him to order and asks if he wants his usual to which he says yes before noticing the child getting taken by a stranger. Mistaking him for a kidnapper, he chases after him throughout the mall and tackles him to the fountain, punching him multiple times before getting subdued by Jeremiah. Mike then visits his career counselor, Steve Raglan, for help on a new job. Steve is baffled by his actions in the mall, the guy having been revealed to actually have been the young boy's father.
Mike proclaims that it was a mistake and a misunderstanding, with Steve Raglan calling out his employment records with him working at "Tire Zone" as a sales associate for two months before getting terminated due to insubordination as well as working at Media World as a custodial staff for only one week before getting fired. He calls out that he thinks he isn't even trying and that it was ironic that he is asking him for help. He says that he is only trying to help and reads out his name before stopping mid-sentence. He leans in for a closer look and suddenly asks for coffee, leaving Mike confused. He pours a cup of coffee and states that his options are really limited due to his bad track record.
On his first night, Mike falls asleep and dreams about his brother, Garrett's, kidnapping and presumed murder, a dream he had the night before; the only difference being that Mike sees five children who witnessed the crime. When Mike tries to approach them, they run away. On the second night, Mike's dream is repeated, but when he attempts to confront one of the children, he is attacked and wakes up. Mike meets police officer Vanessa Shelly, who notices his wounds and patches him up. Vanessa shows him around the restaurant and tells him that it closed in the 1980s after five children were murdered there; their bodies were never found.
Jane hires a gang of vandals to vandalize the restaurant in order to get Mike fired, an act which would enable her to gain custody of Abby. As the break-in occurs, the restaurant's animatronic mascots — Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and Mr. Cupcake — become alive and kill the gang. Among the vandals is Abby's babysitter Max, whose death results in Mike having to bring Abby to his next shift.
On the third night, the animatronics befriend Abby, but are hostile towards Mike. He discovers that the animatronics are possessed by the ghosts of the murdered children, whose leader, a blonde boy, consistently mentions a "yellow rabbit". On the fourth night, Abby is injured while she, Mike, and Vanessa are bonding with the animatronics. During her recovery, Vanessa learns Mike is attempting to identify Garrett's kidnapper, and warns him to not bring Abby to the restaurant again threatening him with a gun. Mike gets Jane to babysit Abby, much to her anger, as he goes back to the restaurant during the day and overdoses on sleeping pills.
Inside the dream, the five children appear again and tell Mike that he can stay with Garrett forever, in exchange for Abby. After denying their offer, Mike is repeatedly attacked in his dream and wakes up strapped to the animatronics' torture device. He escapes by removing pins that the previous deceased security guard had loosened, but is severely wounded by Foxy. A damaged yellow Freddy animatronic, possessed by the blonde boy appears in Mike's house, kills Jane and takes Abby back to the restaurant by hitching a ride with a taxi driver.
Vanessa finds Mike and treats his injuries; after Mike explains his dream, Vanessa reveals that she is the daughter of William Afton, a serial killer who murdered Garrett and the five children by hiding their bodies in the animatronics, and that their souls are under his control. Realizing that William is planning to murder Abby, Mike rushes to the restaurant with the necessary equipment to disable the animatronics. At the restaurant, Chica attempts to kill Abby, but Mike arrives and saves her. Mike is attacked by Mr. Cupcake and separated from Abby. The animatronics are eventually defeated, but they are reactivated by Steve Raglan, who arrives wearing the "yellow rabbit" suit as he reveals himself to be William before knocking Mike unconscious.
Knowing that the animatronics need to understand the truth, Abby draws a picture of William murdering the children. Vanessa attempts to stop William from interceding with the plan, but is stabbed in the abdomen. Before William can kill Mike, Abby shows her drawing to the animatronics, and they turn on William. Mr. Cupcake bites off part of the suit, triggering its internal springlock mechanisms and fatally wounding William. The animatronics drag him into a back room as Mike and Abby carry a wounded Vanessa out of the restaurant; she falls into a coma afterwards and is taken to a hospital. Mike continues to look after Abby as they return to their normal lives.
Meanwhile back in the restaurant, William is still clutching in pain in the back room while one of the ghost of the children closes the door. In the mid-credits scene, the taxi driver that picked up Abby and Golden Freddy earlier is on a break taking a nap when he hears the passenger door open. Initially thinking it's another customer, the driver is shocked to find a Balloon Boy figurine in the passenger seat. During the end credits, a distorted robotic voice spells out "Come find me." (I believe this is the puppet)
