Where Could You Realistically Hide In The FNAF 1 Building? 

the whole deal with the fnaf 1 animatronics according to phone guy is that they think you're an endoskeleton without a costume, so theoretically you could just put on a big puffy jacket and get one of those foam animal masks you get at the dentist and you'd be big chillin

Technically if you can grab a flash light and are fast enough then you can make a mad dash for the safe room by the bathrooms. The safe rooms are designed so that no animatronics can enter, and we know from the fnaf 3 mini games, which were in this building, that even the possessed animatronics can’t enter. Again the main problem is light and how fast you are.

always love how these videos feel like a heated convo youre having with your friend

It's not surprising that Bonnie is the biggest problem with a lot of hiding spaces. He goes a lot of odd places compared to the other characters.

The thing is, Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy all rush the office because they know you're in there and they're just waiting for you to slip up so they can kill you. But if they get to the office and see that you aren't there, they're going into free roam. They're gonna be looking under tables, in bathroom stalls, in cabinets. Everything. You've just turned a very manageable (albeit stressful) game of tower defense, to a game of Hide and Seek, except there are four T-800s looking for yo goofy ahh Hiding might actually be worse somehow

I really thought I'd have a chance this whole time if I went ducking and diving or something, but you showed how dark the place truly was and humbled me real quick. I'd be out there carrying out some big plan to hide and escape, then bump right into Freddy.

An interesting note is that an ingame hour is only 1 minute 29 seconds in our time. So even a 3 second Freddy movement opportunity in universe actually takes 2.15 minutes. Giving you plenty of time to recognize the favorable scenario on the cameras and sneak over to under the tables. Only problem then becomes you need to make sure their movement opportunities are in sync, so that you don't try and run over there thinking its safe because the 3 from the stage are in favorable position, but then Foxy hits an succesful opportunity and starts peaking out and sees you mid run.

Honestly just going through the exit door would be a good hiding place

if we're judging this entirely on static positions of the animatronics, they should definitely see you under the desk from the corner hall cam location. but disregarding that, they definitely do walk around outside of whatever game mechanic says Edit: Also, remember the 6 hour shift is shown in just a few minutes, so many movement would take minutes at best. If you haul ass right when the night starts, you probably have 3 minutes tops on night 6 to hide

bro youre entertaining as shit. dont hold yourself down to fnaf content, a lot of people get locked into that and limit themselves from growing. but ur going places for real keep it up

You NEED to do this with the joy of creation, it's got 3D areas and in one level hiding is LITERALLY the intended mechanic.

Honestly, really stupid idea, but if you risk it for the biscuit, you could dart to the bathroom and kick down the false wall blocking off the safe room (according to a quick check, the average false wall can support 15-20 pounds of force, very breakable), and then hide in the safe room. But, that presents an arguably bigger issue, being Springtrap, however he potentially might not be there yet depending on your interpretation of when he got spring-locked, so uh depending on if you think he was trapped before or after FNaF 1, it could potentially be a working strategy

The multiple realizations of just how dark everything is had me reeling with laughter and horror. This place is already spooky dooky and not even glowing webs can't save me from that.

Honestly, I think I'm yet to see proof that any animatronic can actually meaningfully bend at the waist. Maybe the endoskeleton by itself can, but with the full suit? It's too big and clunky. If you were under the table, there's no good way for them to reach down under it to get you. On top of that, I can't imagine they change direction very well. If you're standing right behind them, they would have to slowly step until they're completely facing you to move towards you. In short, if you stay low and run circles around them, you would be able to effectively juke them. Obviously it gets more dangerous with more of them, and in the dark, but I feel like it's viable in a desperate situation.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more people bring up a simple issue with the Foxy stun-lock strat: you can't keep him locked with the cameras for the whole night because the camera system uses power just like the doors. It might take a longer time than using the cameras AND both doors, but combined with the power used from keeping the left door shut long enough to get your initial opening, you WILL end up with the power going out eventually. At that point the darkness problem gets severely compounded by Foxy being able to run around as much as he wants AND the only light you'll get coming from Freddy's glowing eyes as he prowls around for you.

I think we tend to forget that the whole night takes place over 6 hours. If time dilation plays a role and if we take that into account, they'd be pretty darn slow

Realistically, you would have more time to get to your hiding spot. This is because 1 second in-game is equal to 1 minute in real life. So, if they leave the stage in about 4 seconds (similar to the movement windows in game) you would still have about a few minutes to find a spot to hide.

Random thought about the tables. I'm thinking if hiding under a table was your option then the best way to hide is to lay on top of the stools that are half under the table and maybe hold down the tablecloth against you while you're lying on them, I think that's better than potentially exposing your feet or legs when you're under a table. But then again it will look suspicious if you're holding the cloth so maybe just lay down on the stools and pray for your life

one of the few ways that I always thought was solid for escape would be through the ceiling since most places even back in the 90s had ceiling tiles which are never secured, you can push it and it lifts. just do that at the beginning of the night and you are golden, what are they going to do? you're in the ceiling, and they are down on the ground. and all you need to do is climb the desk and lift yourself up. most people can do that, although a person on the large side might just be out of luck.

If we're talking realistic, once they drop by the office and see your not there, they are going to check other places. That's when you need to worry

You forgot about the noise you'd make moving around. Especially in the dark, you would have to be extra careful to not bump into anything and make noise. Plus, if they hear you even opening the door of the bathroom stall or moving behind the speakers of the stage, they'll all focus on that place for the rest of the night💀 And you can't exactly carry a flashlight with you to see because they'll notice the light for sure

Remember if we're talking bout this realistically the security guy would probably get there like 20-30 minutes earlier before the night shift starts so I bet you could find a place to hide before then

Very small and tiny difference. Freddy is in the center of the stage but that doesnt change much. He is slightly more forward than the other two animatronics but I dont think that would change anything at all.

I wonder what you could do if you decided to fight them instead of hiding. Like only with stuff available in your office or close by, or how effective your weapon would be depending on how sturdy the animatronic you fight is. They’d definitely fire you if you tried that but a cool idea too nonetheless. Loving this series by the way, its fun seeing the strategies you could come up with!

I feel like they're smart enough to know you're hiding, though. So they would probably search around in places you'd hide. I also think they could tell if you knocked over something like a party hat. Because I think they'd know that the party hats are in the exact same position every single night. Because the employees have to put them like that. ALSO. When they're on stage, they can still see. Meaning if you ran out while they're on stage, they're gonna beat your ass.

You have quickly become one of my favorite youtubers.

Something else important to consider is the fact that in-game time is different from real-life time. Since each hour in game is only like a minute and a half long you'd have to consider that each animatronic is in each location for at least a few minutes before moving again

Next Video: Where can I realistically hide in your house so you don't find me? (hypothetically)

Okay, but what if you have to complete all 5 nights? or 6, idk. Obviously, the first 3 nights are easy to pass with plenty of energy, but then it all depends on the person. I'll mention that in FNaF Help Wanted, the foxy ran out every time you left the office, but I'll assume it's just a game mechanic. There is still the question of where the animatronics go at 6 a.m. - most likely back to the stage, because otherwise it would be too difficult to leave the building. there is still the question of where the animatronics go at 6 a.m. - most likely, back to the stage, because otherwise it would be to hatd to leave the building. also, you need to remember that animatronics are people in some part and accordingly know how to learn from their mistakes - it will not work to hide in one place for the remaining 3 nights. in addition, if we consider that the game night lasts 9 minutes (8:55), then instead of 5 seconds animatronics need 3 minutes and 20 seconds, or the smallest amount of time - Freddy, 3.2 seconds will be, long enough, 2 minutes and 8 seconds. so, you probably have enough time for any actions and movements. for the 4th night, best of all, I think to play as usual until 5 or 4 am, and then hide in one of the lockers. of course, it's very uncomfortable, but it's better than death in tge animatronic suit. on the 5th night, I wouldn't risk it, I didn't do exactly the same. I would play normally up to 4 am, wait untill Foxy runs at my door and goes bach to the cove. Then I would need to wait for Bonnie to go to the supply closet, and only after that I can run through the left hall and hide under one of the tables in the dining area. Honestly, it would be scary as fuck, but I think, I could survive. on the sixth night, I would have done the smart thing: I would have come a little earlier than my shift, didn't turn on the lights anywhere and just quietly hid in the safe room. so the animatronics won't even know I'm in the building, or if I screw up, they won't be able to get into my room. it would be logical that I didn't come - barely survived 5 nights and came for another one? The safe room is large, and I think I could bring a chair and batteries for my smartphone so that it wouldn't be boring. even so, there seem to be arcades; electricity can be turned on and light is not necessary. On the seventh night I just wouldn't come lol

This is like watching a football strategy run-down, especially with the AI routes 😂😂

But a problem that wasn’t addressed, they can hear things. They are designed to go to the sounds of children. And since their programming wants them to get you into a suit. They are going to listen for you as well. So they can hear you if you are too loud.

10:56 is outta pocket bro 💀

Idea: Mandatory: 1. Slam both the doors shut and lights on. 2. Get under the desk (laying flat), Facing towards the wall, stay still, Wait for power to go out, Bonnie/China can't get in with doors closed. Tips/Optional: 1. Make sure you wear black clothes: Preferably a black hoodie, Long pants. (When the power goes out due to doors/lights you'll be invisible) 2. Make sure to turn phone off/silent. If it goes off you're dead. 3. Under any circumstance, Do not make a sound, especially if the animatronics are at your door/window or in office. 4. If the lockers are movable, Cover the Windows up with them, If not use the Poster-Window trick. (before 12 am maybe get another poster for the other window) 5. Move the Speaker under the desk infront of the desk. 6. Either leave the Camera Monitor on Foxy or just cope with the doors closed. Notes: These animatronics are tall, and the room (even w power on) is very dimly lit, With only 1 light bulb which is usually overhead in the Center of the Room. If you haven't done the locker tip, remember that Chica looks into the room, Towards the lockers. Bonnie looks into the door, potentially seeing you. Remember we're on Night 6, Freddy is also a threat, so keep the mfing Right door closed you jackass.

It's pretty funny this is actually something the nightguard could've done. Since it's done on Night 6, the nightguard could actually plan this throughout Night 1-5. Taking this night off and Night 7 could definitely be a life-saver for an unexperienced nightguard that just barely survived the previous nights. (Definitely under the table in the middle of the stage would be the best hiding spot, they would know something's off and check everywhere. They would definitely check the stalls in the bathrooms).

If you're ever going to do a full FNAF 2 map remember the lights it will greatly influence the tactics you do.

The vent is there in game. I believe it can be seen in the right doorway when the light is on. However it is unknown where it leads or if it’s big enough for a human to crawl through

i’ve never smoked weed but i feel like this is something id talk about with a friend while im stoned

This is making me think about a scenario where you’re hiding all throughout the building and halfway through the night the animatronics just have like some kind of football huddle to think of a plan on how to get you

you’re one of the only real RU-vidrs left bro i be wondering about this soooo much, just scratchin my head about how i’d survive this game if I was (somehow) put in this situation. thanks for the survival guide 😤 but all jokes aside, this is awesome stuff man, fr. the quality and humor is top notch

you know those videos where someone watches a car roll down a cliff going "I was actually using my seatbelt so I didn't get hurt, not even a scratch"? same energy. And I love it. When somebody just goes SO HARD on an argument that doesn't even really matter and you can only watch on in awe because they are smarter than you. I love your content, you're hilarious. I feel like you'd have a great take on like, surviving in Portal or something.

If you think you can 1v1 box Foxy, the inside of Pirate's Cove is safe from everyone else, you just gotta duel 1 animatronic to save you from the other 3

I think the best shot is dash for the Safe Room, kick down the fake wall/open the door depending on timeframe, go in if Springtrap is there let him escape or kill him if he's aggressive and just chill in there all night.

only two things: 1.- canonically the best spot is playing the game ¿why?, well the animatronics get a bit quirky at night because they are being controlled by the souls of the murdered children, they aren't programmed to kill you, meaning that they will realise that you aren't in the office and will start searching in other places, and also the only thing that stops them from killing you is actually the thicc ass metal doors on the office, 2.- you can just not show up to work, or just get inside the building register that you got in and then get out 💀💀💀

A: I love how this video just feels like we’re hanging out, B: I feel like with the way we’ve been told the animatronics work, you could just bring a bedsheet and cover yourself with it and they’d see a bedsheet, not a person, and leave you alone

You already know what it’s time for. Fnaf 2 building. You are super cool, you don’t sound too scripted, like as if I’m listening to a friend sit me down on a couch and give me a whole presentation about this because that’s what gamers do. Love the content.

I feel like Bonnie and Chica don’t actively know where you are as they appear and leave the office and only enter the office when they can see you through the door. When they Roam they are basically searching room for room over and over until they end up at office again. However Foxy and Freddy seems to have something else. Foxy immediately runs to the office and in his Jumpscare he faces you before he’s even inside the room which shows he knows where you are. Freddy appears to be the most dangerous, not only does he take a direct route but he also hides showing that he’s aware that you are watching him. He stays outside office permanently as he knows damn well where you are, he also beelines in the total dark to the office In theory, Foxy and Freddy have some sort of way to always know where you are.

You know it’s a good day when my boy posts a video.

A great thing about being under the table is that you can actually hoist yourself up onto the stools underneath the table, elevating you to a point where its impossible for any animatronic to see you unless they get under the table.

25:59 I have never seen someone get so entertained by the absence of light, but I love it and it's great.

what i would do is turn off the fan (which is why you lose power in the first place) and keep the camera on all night. I would also have the camera on freddy making it so 2 of them can't move. Bonnie and chica couldn't do crap so i'm not worried abt them.

I think a good spot would be under the table, but, instead of being on the floor, scoot the seats in and put them in a row almost like a bed and lay down, because of the cloth on the table and the seats are so high, the cloth will block ur body and the animatronics will never know ur there because they can’t see you

FYI, for blender: if you can select the thing and *it selects all of the parts of the creature, you’re good* to just copy paste it, like, with the Ctrl-C ctrl-V nonsense. If not, it should have it all selected when you load it in or something, or depending on how many parts it’s in you can try to select it all, and *when you have it all selected you can group it* or turn it into one object or something so that *next time you click on it it’s all one object* so it grabs the whole thing. If you’re struggling… Mess around in a blank blender for a while, drop some shapes in and see what the buttons do, you’ll figure it out. That’s how I learned blender lmao

only partially through the video so im not sure if you mention this spot but i had an idea, i think the best hiding spot (after the bathrooms) is behind the speakers because you only need to sit there, however underneath the tables if you were to lay down flat on top of the chairs, you would be covered completely by the table cloth and wouldnt be able to be seen even if they saw underneath, i say its slightly worse than behind the speakers because it would be exhausting laying down only supported by a few chairs for 6 hours, but nevertheless its a good spot if you want a lesser chance of being seen

The "easiest" way i think you can do this is go in the safe room. (The room in the bath room) the animatronics cant see it and glich out if they try to go into it. So if your fast enough they cant follow you in there even if your caught and getting chased.

Perfect timing I didn’t know how ready I was for this till I saw the notification

This feels like some evil mastermind discussing their evil plan to take over the world, and it both somehow helps the argument and adds a comedic touch to it. Also this is genuinely well thought together, good job

I think the real best way would just be to show up early for work and hide right away instead of waiting until 12:00.

well maybe it won't be quite THAT dark, due to the moonlight. (should be coming through the front door glass)

Interesting thought, what if they do not have night vision? I mean the fnaf 1 place is low budget

when the power goes out all animatronics movements are frozen, so you could close all the doors and use the cameras to drain the power really fast and then run down the right hallway and hide somewhere that freddy can't go, like the employees only

With regards to the animatronics going back on stage, we know for sure that Bonnie and Chica don't, but what about the Fredmeister? The only point at which he would leave the office area in game would be with you in his hands before he stuffs you into the suit (aka jumpscare), so that's a little bit of gray area. Still, I think the super slick super secret stage speaker spot is a great contender for... winning the hide gam- hide n' seek. also holy cow when bonnie breathed on the backstage camera (couldn't think of a word to continue the alliteration), I peed a little.

The animatronics are still there so they arent destroyed which means the safe room is okay. Which is near the bathroom... but not sure you would want to be chilling with an old spring bonnie suit for 6 hours

From someone who's beaten the game from Nights 1-7, I've noticed (Probably everybody else has noticed it too) that on Nights 1-6 Freddy is also stun locked by the camera as long as the camera is on him, and since we're taking this scenario as if they're bound to their in-game mechanics and restrictions, and since the camera system is monitored through a tablet, we could take the tablet with us (assuming it's not wired to the TV's) and we would just have to check the cameras within each 3.2 second timespan while hiding under a table or as you said in the men's bathroom. So the cameras keep both Foxy and Freddy at bay, Bonnie is the real opp in this one because he can teleport, but since we're not taking his hallway anyways we'll be fine. Chica will be in the bathroom after 14.94 seconds if she has three consecutive successful movement opportunities, if you're keeping track of these things you will have at least another 4.98 seconds to run down the hallway and under a table. As you said, the cameras are night vision cameras, so you could track yourself on the cameras to be aware of where you are and who's in the room with you but you'd only be able to track yourself for 2 or so seconds because if you're 1.2 seconds late then Freddy will move off of the stage (assuming he has a successful movement opportunity) Bonnie and Chica would also end up getting stuck at your office doors, if you've ever screwed up in FNAF 1 and Bonnie or Chica is at your door and has another successful movement opportunity we know what you end up losing the ability to close the door or use the lights and it's essentially game over, but since we aren't in the office we'll never get caught by them while they're in that stage and they'll wind up getting stuck. These were some small calculations I had to do mixed in with some hypotheticals, but I actually think it's possible to survive nights 1-6 if we are allowed to keep our real life knowledge of how the game functions.

Freddy is also stun locked if you’re on his camera so if you point it at the show stage you could keep him and foxy locked

good spot, behind the speaker on the stage, they never go back so you are chilling, all you have to do is wait for bonnie to be in the closet, chica in the bathroom and freddy to also be in the bathroom or kitchen and you could slip in there and chill, or the mens toilet is a strong option too as no one goes in there, ok nah i been updating this as watch it and you did every option i did in the same order exactly.

the fact these are children and potentially professional hide and seekers can differ things like hiding in obvious places like under the tables makes it even harder you either go around hoping to god they don't see you on their route that could change at any given time or you just stay in the office doing the intended way

so happy to have discovered this channel and so happy to see it growing so quick!

I just want to say that I personally love your videos for you! You’re extremely entertaining and your style of content is great and unique. Don’t think it’s only because of fnaf as much as I enjoy those games.

Hell yeah! Been excited for this one, never even watched, or played Five Nights at Freddie’s, but I find the videos you have made this far extremely fun. Good work.

Man, i'm thinking of being under those party tables,laying on top of those chairs, they can't see you, however i'm not sure if someone could fit in there.

Even sticking your head on left door makes foxy instantly go after you

I find these super entertaining you should consider making this a series or make more videos about other fnaf's in this format

"The best thing to do is hide in the men's bathroom." "Chica, I'm scared" has entered the chat

bro you’re gonna grow big, this a huge first step and i love your personality bro. much respect my guy!

personally, i never understood why william afton made limited power unless he was BROKE 💀💀

Man these videos are cool, here lemme add some of my own fodder. When reviewing how you'd survive, you also have to think about the supernatural aspect of the pizzaria. I know its kinda nebulous how supernatural these guys can get, but considering we're already leaving the office, might aswell go full send and consider all aspects of this haunting. Cause it is a haunting - the pizzaria's ambiance, the posssessed animatronics, the changing of pictures on the walls, Golden Freddy, the "Its Me" etc etc - across all games, these places are clearly haunted, that will be something you have to consider. I think it'd be neat to revisit the survive the pizzaria scenarios with this in mind, maybe take some hints from stuff like Baddington and other fan-made media

I’ve been enjoying all your content recently! I can’t wait for what next you have in store :)

Bro ur channel is so small, but I feel it has so much potential to grow soon. Keep making videos as entertaining as this and you'll go far bro. I just found u yesterday and I'm loving the content.

love this video. I love how it's not so much a discussion and essay on how you could but like an argument with a friend at 3 am

I never realised until now that any of the fnaf buildings does not have any windows bruh 😂 Man, you're so amazing to watch. What an awesome work with your videos 👏👏👏👏👏

This is what the VHS tapes don't tell you.

Bro you are so underrated! You’re pretty funny and this video is super in-depth and entertaining. You’ve earned a sub and I can’t wait to see more of your stuff!

This is the first video from you I've watched, and I've i got to say that your energy is super refreshing. Even having this on in the background, I still found myself laughing at your commentary. Keep up the good work dude, I hope you make it big someday ❤

We are watching this channel blow up in real time. Keep up the work man!

Bro this shit is so entertaining

You are a new(er) face on RU-vid to me and honestly it really is refreshing to find someone new who shares my humor, my interests, and all around just being funny af. Keep up the fantastic work :)

Amazing to see channels like you find an idea that gets you traction you definitely deserve it seeing how long you’ve been here. Hope you continue to find other ideas your vids are entertaining af

In The Silver Eyes novel, Bonnie was able to look under the bathroom stalls to see where Charlie was hiding. That is a terrifying thought. They could just look under tables and stuff. Realistically, you'd most likely be dead unless they don't know you're hiding somewhere (they could just search for you under stuff).

Remember that the games time and real time aren’t the same 5 seconds of gameplay is actually a few minutes in real time so even at max difficulty you would have some time to think and plan

Bro ngl this vid was so funny I really enjoyed it. The commentary was great aswell. Keep up the great work.

This is exactly what I was talking about on the community post! Great video, dude.

How to actually survive FNaF: Just don't go to work after surviving the easy night 1.

never thought i needed videos like these, but here i am, and they are so entertaining too! love your channel :'D

Hey great video! I love the video series and seeing what you come up with! The only thing I would consider hiding in would be the safe room where spring bonnie might be at. But depending on what lore you're looking at it might already be sealed off with springtrap inside. But even with the chance that it hasn't been sealed yet, it would be haunted as heck in there and honestly I don't think I could last ten minutes in there. But it is off of the map and out of the animatronics knowledge so it's a possibility. Anyway I would love to see you do the other FNAF games with the full building!

bro fire ass video lokey yo up there with the top of my fav youtubers and i only watched one video props to you man you earned this sub :D

I think one of the main issues with trying to determine where you can hide is HOW intelligent the animatronics are. Assuming it's just following their set paths unless they come into contact with a person, this is a piece of cake. If it's more like human level intelligence, they can look and go pretty much anywhere assuming they can fit, meaning you're probably screwed no matter what. Going off the movie trailer, it seems like they have more autonomy than we'd expect going off of this game alone, and hell, we see future games have more intelligent animatronics like Circus Baby and the Glamrocks, so likely hiding won't be as much of an option. So, let's assume you're doing the full 5/6 nights. If you're ONLY allowed cams and maybe a flashlight, you still might be screwed because the light would bring attraction to you. If you're allowed to bring something in, night vision goggles would be insane here, though that's not really fun now is it? I'm also not too sure on if the animatronics can see in the dark or not, but either way, you're probably screwed unless you happen to catch them at JUST the right moment to make a move. Then again, this is just me overanalyzing things, but that's nothing new for this series. Super interesting to see an analysis of something like this, and I'm curious to see other games/locations like the Pizzaplex, though I can imagine that video would take MUCH longer to make. (Also as for Blender, if you just Join all of the parts to the model together (or even better, find a skeleton if they're rigged), you can move the models in one piece and just hide and reveal the models as needed.)

Gotta remember that the left hallway light is flickering in fnaf1. Good luck with the first minutes surviving

love your chill vibe of videos man, i seriously get happy when i see a new video from you, keep the cook bro

Need more. Fr one of the best fnaf content in a while, keep up the good work, can't wait for the other games. You could also do Five Nights At Candy?

13:43 : You really wanna see Chica's feet. Me: Yes. Yes I do.
