    Wait. You will start out in your office, and the phone will ring. Listen to the Phone Guy (the former night guard) for information on how to play.

    Check the monitor. On Night 1, the animatronics won't be very active, but you need to see if they form a pattern anyway. Foxy will very rarely move on Night 1 if you don't check the cameras at all, and Freddy will definitely not move. Your biggest threat is Bonnie.

    Be on the lookout. You'll want to keep an eye out for Bonnie and Chica, who begin to move at around 2-3am. Bonnie appears travels along left side of the map. Chica tends to stay to the right.

    Watch them. Don't worry if they start to get close. If one appears outside a hallway, stay wary, but don't shut the door just yet.

    Check the lights periodically. You will see if they are outside your office. If they are, shut the door and monitor the other side. Check every now and then to see if they leave. If they do, open the door.

    Try to keep both doors open as much as possible. The doors drain your battery. Never shut both doors unless it's an emergency (i.e. animatronics outside both doors).

  • Question
    Can phone guy call me on Night 5?

    Community Answer
    No. Spoiler Alert: Phone guy is killed on Night 4. On Night 5, rather than the usual voicemail, you hear a strange series of garbling sounds.
  • Question
    What happens when the power goes out?

    When the power goes out, there is nothing you can do. Freddy will appear at your left door, and his eyes and mouth will flash as he plays a music box-style toreador march. At some time, the screen will completely black out and the music will stop. Then, at an unknown time during this blackout, Freddy will jumpscare you, resulting in a game over. Unless you are extremely close to 6 AM and it turns 6 AM before Freddy can jumpscare you, the power going out always results in death.
  • Question
    If the same phone guy is in FNAF 2, then how did he die?

    FNaF 2 came before FNaF 1 in the lore. Also, the FNaF 2 phone guy is different from the FNaF 1 phone guy.
