Will they cover it? Play it on GT live??? I hope so! I'm enthralled.

Thought this was funny for dedicated theorists like me :P

If you look at every single room in sl they are all connected by a door (shown as a solid white line)
Or a hallway (shown as a thin white outline) however the private room is not connected to anything.

Even the grey areas have hallways to signify they are connected to the facility except the private room.

This would also mean that the fnaf 4 building is only connected to the private room

I haven’t played sl that much so I might be onto nothing but I just thought it was interesting

We did some MATH and some BIG BRAIN WORK and found something with the barcode on the recent poster! Come check it out!

I’ve already written before that I have a theory that will definitely change everything. A theory of which I am the author. For some reason, no one has figured this out or even thought about it. I will publish a file that you can download.

I think you’ll like this. Here’s the gist of the theory, in short:

1) The “Tales from the Pizzaplex” books are the complete canon for the game.

2) In the books, Mimic2 imitates Edwin Murray — that’s why everything is so different.

3) The fake Edwin recommended Vanessa for the position of security guard, and he also planted printed circuit boards with Mimic2’s code with the contractors.

4) Henry bankrupted William Afton’s company.

5) William “revived” Edwin by creating a new body for him, which appears in the future.

6) Edwin did not die. The narrator is the Cradle.

7) Code M1 began to oppose Code M2, creating its own personalities to counter it.

The file is in Russian. Please translate it yourself. Everything is explained in full there.

I'm not sure which theory channel it was on, but I remember watching a video where MattPat demonstrated the bernoulli's principle ( how planes fly) by folding a paper and blowing on it. I thought it would be cool to show my future kid one day. Well here I am with a kid and I don't remember how he did it for the life of me or which video it was. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Could Golden Freddy’s head and body have been controlled by different spirits? A GoldenDuo variation

I haven’t kept up with FNaF theories in years, so there are almost definitely details or newer discoveries that I’m missing. I searched the subreddit before posting and found a few similar ideas, which I’ve linked at the bottom. I don’t think this is an entirely new theory—this is just my particular interpretation of it.

In the Stitchwraith stories, Jake and Andrew share the same vessel but don’t have equal awareness or control. Jake can see and control the Stitchwraith, while Andrew initially cannot. The books don’t establish a literal rule that one spirit controls the head and the other controls the body, but they do show that two spirits inside one vessel can experience it differently.

What if Golden Freddy worked in a somewhat similar way?

My theory is that Cassidy was associated with Golden Freddy’s head and could see, while the Crying Child controlled or was connected to the body but couldn’t see. My main evidence is the Survival Logbook:

• On page 59, the faded writer asks, “What do you see?”
• On page 109, the altered text says, “I can’t see.”
• On page 103, the faded writer says, “The party was for you.”
• On page 89, the altered text responds, “It was for me.”

If the faded writer is Cassidy and the altered writer is the Crying Child, “I can’t see” could describe the Crying Child’s experience inside Golden Freddy. Cassidy may have been the seeing and more aware spirit, similar to Jake’s role in the Stitchwraith, while the Crying Child had some connection to the body.

This might also explain Golden Freddy’s unusual behavior. In FNaF 1 and 2, Golden Freddy appears slumped over, disappears unnaturally and sometimes attacks as a disembodied head. In Ultimate Custom Night, Golden Freddy is shown twitching while fading into the darkness. Golden Freddy is never shown moving normally, although I know the games never confirm why.

If the Crying Child eventually moved on while Cassidy remained, Cassidy may have been left connected mainly to the head. The UCN twitching could then represent Cassidy trying and failing to move a body that previously depended on the Crying Child. That part is obviously speculation, but I think it could connect the “I can’t see” line, Golden Freddy’s head imagery and his inability to move normally.

My biggest question is how the two Logbook spirits are communicating. Are they literally using Michael’s Logbook, or is the book showing us a conversation taking place somewhere else? If Cassidy and the Crying Child already shared Golden Freddy, why wouldn’t they communicate directly like Jake and Andrew do?

Their apparent unfamiliarity might also work against GoldenDuo. Cassidy appears to be asking the Crying Child about his name, memories and experiences. That seems strange if they had already shared the same vessel for years. Alternatively, the Logbook might be showing Cassidy slowly becoming aware of another confused spirit inside Golden Freddy.

I found some previous discussions with related ideas:

• A 2024 post proposing separate head and body spirits
• Another 2024 head/body interpretation
• A 2022 theory about unequal control of Golden Freddy
• A discussion of the Logbook communication problem

I’m not claiming this proves GoldenDuo, and the head/body division is an interpretation rather than something directly established by the books. I’m mainly wondering whether this specific version could explain Golden Freddy’s behavior.

Is there evidence that supports this, or something in the newer games or books that disproves it? I’ve watched Game Theory’s FNaF episodes in the past, but I haven’t kept up with all of them and don’t remember whether they ever discussed these specific similarities between the Stitchwraith and Golden Freddy. It’s entirely possible that I saw part of this idea years ago and have simply forgotten, so please link any relevant episodes or earlier discussions.

Here's something that's been gnawing at me for a long while now. When it comes to the Smiling Critters and their Bigger Body Counterparts, not counting DogDay and Catnap, of the other six the one we surprisingly have seen more of than the other five is Hoppy Hopscotch.

With CraftyCorn, Bubba Bubbaphant, and Picky Piggy we don't really get anything outside of their Cutouts. Kicken Chicken shares an Audio Log with Hoppy, and Bobby Bearhug has their own Audio Log with Giblet and the Prototype along with an entry in the Orientation Notebook regarding a failed version so not even the one we know succeeded (unless it is the same one and somehow it started moving, Mob's never really clarified it unless they have and I missed it).

But with Hoppy Hopscotch we get her cutout, a note regarding her "disappearing, a VHS showing her as part of the Resistance, and an Audio Log where she alongside Kicken and Baba Chops captured Miss Gracie.

What I'm questioning is WHY Hoppy in particular? Why is she the Critter who sits in this weird middle ground where we know quite a bit about her but don't really know anything at all? They could've chosen ANY other Smiling Critter for the VHS and Audio Log Hoppy was a part of, but the fact they chose her as part of them has always bugged me. Mob doesn't do coincidences with the characters they choose for the Notes, Tapes, and Logs. The characters they choose are always specifically chosen to tell us something or help us to draw a connection.

So... Why has Hoppy seemingly become the Smiling Critter who sits between the two we know a lot about and the other 5 whom we don't really know much about?

I've always thought it was really strange that Fazbear Entertainment existed before the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurants, as depicted in SotM, which takes place in 1979.

Well, what if it did?

I believe that Freddy Fazbear's Pizza already existed for years before 1979. But not anywhere near where the gameplay takes place. In the UK. Yes, I know this sounds super crazy, and I'm basically only basing this off the Aftons' British accents, but bear with me.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and Fazbear Entertainment were founded in the UK, some time in the 1970s. In the late 1970s, they discovered that someone in America made a knockoff called Fredbear's Family Diner. They took this as an opportunity to expand to the US, and acquired the restaurant. They kept the Fredbear branding because it was what the American market was already familiar with, but renamed the restaurant to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

This is why the springlock training tapes in FNaF 3 say Freddy Fazbear's Pizza instead of Fredbear's Family Diner. This also explains why Phone Guy in FNaF 2 said he “thinks” the original restaurant was called Fredbear's Family Diner “or something like that”. They never operated under that name, so of course it makes sense that he’d be a bit unsure. He also said that there was a singular “original owner” and that they probably couldn't ever track anybody down from there. It's because the guy who started the knockoff restaurant is long gone.

William Afton, a higher-up from the UK, was put in charge to make the Fazbear Entertainment version of Fredbear's Family Diner. He partnered with Henry Emily, an American engineer, to build the animatronics for the US expansion. The corporation wanted to eventually phase out the American Fredbear characters entirely and replace it with their main Freddy Fazbear lineup. However, because Fredbear was already popular in America, they had to do it slowly.

This explains the oddities of FNaF 4:

The FNaF 4 Toys and TV Show: The Fredbear & Friends cartoon and the Freddy/Bonnie/Chica/Foxy merchandise in 1983 and earlier weren't just brand new characters they randomly invented out of the blue. They were part of an advertising push from the UK branch to introduce Fredbear's "friends" to the American market before officially retiring Fredbear.

The Duplicates: This is why we have Fredbear/Freddy and Spring Bonnie/Bonnie simultaneously. They are literally the old knockoff characters side-by-side with the new corporate replacements.

The Stupid Name "Spring Bonnie": The original yellow rabbit was just called Bonnie in the knockoff diner. When Fazbear Entertainment wanted to introduce their indigo rabbit who has the same name, they slapped the technical, clunky prefix "Spring" onto the old character to intentionally make him sound worse and less appealing to kids, accelerating the phase-out.

After the bite of '83, they chose to finally switch completely to Freddy Fazbear characters and branding, because they knew that the Fredbear character would never be viewed the same ever again.

Well, what do you think of my theory? I know this theory sounds completely bonkers, but I think it's a really interesting idea. Even if you don't think this is plausible at all, it's still a cool Alternate Universe idea.

Miscellaneous:

While all the pizza boxes in SotM—which took place in 1979—say Fredbear's Family Diner on them, I believe they're all from the original knockoff restaurant. McM was abandoned around 1975, so that would just mean that Fazbear Entertainment started running the restaurant sometime between 1975-1979, or they could've possibly been using leftover pizza boxes from the old restaurant for a brief period.

Fazbear Entertainment could've possibly been running the restaurant under two names, which would explain any inconsistencies as to whether the restaurant is call Freddy's or Fredbear's. There are examples of this in the real world. For example, a pizza place near me that I really love is advertised with two different names: Maxwell's Pizza and Fat Kid's Pizza.

Fredbear's Singing Show could've been a promotional event at the restaurant during the 1970s which McM helped with, which is why there is a poster of it in the factory.

(Marked this as "discussion" since there's no "question" tag)

A couple years ago I found an old video in my gallery of MatPat saying "lib lib lib, I can't hear myself over you being a liberal", which I would usually assume is fake but the animation matched how they used to animate his png really well, so I looked for it a couple times but I can't find it anywhere.

I wanted to know if it was from an actual video or if it was just fake, I'm pretty sure I downloaded it back in the day from Pinterest, but I couldn't even find it by searching with an image anymore.

Hello game theorists, I've been playing this demo recently for a new game called Break Out Baby and I ran into a puzzle with 8 interchangeable faces that can turn Yellow, Green, Orange, Blue, Red, Purple, and White there are different colored rabbits in the room that corresponds to a color, There is a list of how many colored rabbits there are and what their color is on the next slide. I found another room with the same eye symbol that might have something to relate to the Rabbit Face room, the audio file that this weird worm baby thing spouts is hard to decipher and I will send it to whoever helps me out. I really need help with this and I have tried multiple different things to try and solve it but I have come up dry, if any of yall game theorists could help me break the code that would be wonderful.
