1. Thanks For The Memories

Aired: 3/2/2024

Well, here it is, my last FNAF theory. It’s been a WILD ride over the past decade of overanalyzing, theorizing and toe counting and to be honest… I loved every second of it. Today’s theory attempts to give closure to over 10 years and 60 theories worth of thoughts. I wanna talk today about legacy, not just my own but Scott Cawthon's as well, and how through one small choice he not only changed my life, but he changed the ENTIRE world!

2. The Circus Of HORRORS!

Aired: 4/20/2024

The future of FNAF has always been a mystery to us, every time we think we know where the series is going Scott Cawthon and Steel Wool throw us a curveball! But not this time... I think we've figured out EXACTLY where the series is headed next and the answer is actually right back where it started! Tom's first Five Nights at Freddy's theory is going to rewrite the entire timeline for this series! We're going back further than Fredbears Family Diner! Come one, come all... to the circus of HORRORS!

3. We SOLVED Golden Freddy... Again! (ft. MatPat)

Aired: 7/13/2024

FNAF has hundreds of unsolved mysteries remaining, but the name of the crying Child remains among the longest standing. Enter Dual Process Theory, who burst onto the scene with a fantastic theory challenging pretty much everything we know about Golden Freddy and the Crying Child. Did they get it right? Let’s find out today!

4. This 10 Year Old Detail SOLVES FNAF!

Aired: 8/24/2024

FNAF’s 10th anniversary has come and gone and with it comes a TON of new and exciting announcements! From the release of Into The Pit to the teasing of Secrets of The Mimic, there’s a lot to be excited about as a Five Nights at Freddy's fan. But while watching the teaser for the new game I noticed something… something specific about the Mimic that was right in front of our eyes for over 10 years! Think back to FNAF 2… do you remember?

5. Into The Pit Changes The FNAF Timeline!

Aired: 9/14/2024

Into the Pit is here, and it completely CHANGES the FNAF timeline. Scott is trying to wrap up loose ends, and that actually leaves a lot of mystery for us to solve. What's the deal with the bullies? Why is Scott revealing these details now? And what can we learn about Freddy Bro, Afton, and Henry? Today, loyal Theorists, we dive into the pit!

6. Was FNAF's Final Mystery REALLY That Simple?

Aired: 10/5/2024

A few weeks ago fellow FNAF theorist ‪@HyperDroid‬ made a video claiming to have SOLVED the infamous Foxy Grid from the Security Logbook. Since then the FNAF community has come together in general agreement that Hyperdroid NAILED this theory and found the TRUE name for the Crying Child. Today I aim to put this theory under the microscope and see if it really stands up the scrutiny!

7. The Missing Key Is... Phone Guy?!

Aired: 11/23/2024

FNAF 1 has haunted Five Nights at Freddy’s theorists for YEARS! Placing this game in the timeline helps a lot of other pieces fall into place, but we’ve just never been able to do it… until today! The newest FNAF book “The Week Before” just dropped and with it came a heaping handful of LORE! Does it give us enough to solve this mystery, i actually think it does! And the answer involves an old familiar friend…

8. Are the FNAF Books Actually Canon?

Aired: 1/7/2025

FNAF has become a multimedia franchise, from games, movies, and books it really spans all reaches of entertainment. With that comes one specific question everyone has been asking for years... are the FNAF books actually canon to the games? Does what happens in the book universe happen in the game universe? With the release of the Help Wanted 2 VR update there are some major signs that things may be more connected than we thought...

9. The SECRET Afton Killer!

Aired: 2/8/2025

FNAF has been pretty obvious about William Afton being an absolutely terrible guy, just a real bad man. But is there someone else in the Afton family whose hiding a dark secret as well? Is there a SECRET Afton killer?

10. The Hidden Truth of Afton's Experiments Finally REVEALED

Aired: 5/24/2025

With the recent release of “Escape the Pizzaplex,” we’ve all been trying to figure out what this story is trying to tell us. However, the details from this novel may be pointing to something much further back in the franchise's history, something that we are likely to get a glimpse of in Secret of the Mimic very soon.

11. Everything You Know About FNAF is a LIE!

Aired: 7/5/2025

Secret of the Mimic is FINALLY here and it changes EVERYTHING! Our understanding of the books, the timeline, and the characters we’ve come to know and love over the last 11 years may have crumbled right before our eyes. Let’s put the pieces back together.

12. What is MXES? (Secret of the Mimic)

Aired: 7/19/2025

Now that we have a definitive backstory for the Mimic, we now have the answers we’ve been dying to understand for years. What is the Mimic’s goal? What is the deal with MXES? Why was the lore of Security Breach so confusing in the first place? Let’s plummet down into the depths of Murray's Costume Manor to discover the REAL Secret of the Mimic!

13. How to STOP the Mimic... For Good!

Aired: 8/2/2025

We FINALLY have the keys to stopping the Mimic…Sun and Moon. This game has given us SO much symbolism to these characters through mini-games, a lullaby, and even the OG costume. In today’s episode, I will be discussing Sun and Moon’s connection to the Mimic as well as how we can stop the Mimic for GOOD…

14. Did Fazbear REALLY Steal Everything?

Aired: 8/16/2025

Now that we’ve uncovered the truths about the Murrays, I still have one big question to solve…the origins about Fazbear Entertainment. Did William and Henry reallySTEAL everything from Edwin? How did the business truly start and did they actually create anything? The answer may surprise you…

15. Was I WRONG About Secret of the Mimic?

Aired: 10/4/2025

Was I WRONG about FNAF Secret of the Mimic? I spent months going over tiny details, analysing everything frame by frame trying to solve this game, but I wasn’t alone. There were two other theorists who brought their own solutions! Are they right or was I wrong? Let’s find out in today’s episode!

16. Your FNAF Theories, SOLVED!

Aired: 11/22/2025

As always, there are still a TON of questions that need to be answered with this franchise. Who caused the Bite of 83? Why does Monty hate Bonnie? And what does David Afton’s facorite show have to do with the Mimic? We’re answering ALL your burning questions in today’s episode!

17. What's ACTUALLY in the Box?

Aired: 12/13/2025

What was REALLY in the FNAF 4 Box? It’s a question that has plagued the FNAF community for YEARS since it first appeared in FNAF 4. Last year, Scott finally gave us an answer that didn't really sit well with many fans and has me wondering if there’s maybe something else going on here…

18. Did the FNAF 2 Movie FINALLY Solve the Timeline?

Aired: 1/10/2026

Did the FNAF 2 Movie actually help to solve the game’s timeline? And wait…there’s TWO Mikes now? There’s SO much to unpack with this film and I think it actually helps to solve parts of the timeline for good…

19. WTF is Chica's Secret Party?

Aired: 5/23/2026

What IS Chica’s Secret Party?! This mystery game appeared in the latest ultimate guide and has EVERYONE stumped and wondering where it even came from. So, I’ve asked a bunch of friends of mine to see if we can figure it out together and hopefully solve this mystery in today’s video!
