FNAF Theories

Fazbear Frights Timeline Order (Original)

NOTE: This will include what I believe to be the canon dates. Basically see it as a "if ____ is to be believed, that would place _____ right here." 

NOTE 2: Some stories have unconfirmed dates so I'm just estimating. I'll mention if a story ever has a confirmed date. 

So if the books are canon to the games, this is how I think it would go. So first things first, here's how I think the main games timeline is: 

FNAF 4 (1983) 

FNAF 2 (1987) 

FNAF 1 (1993) 

SISTER LOCATION (2023) 

FNAF 3 (2023) 

PIZZERIA SIMULATOR (2024) 

UCN (202X) 

HELP WANTED (202X) 

SECURITY BREACH (202X) 

NOTE: Some of these can be interchangeable

Fazbear Frights Timeline: 

1. Dance with Me (Spring 1983)- This story says Circus Baby's is opened so it has to be here, since I believe that's when Baby's opened. It's weird though because the games say it was opened for one day yet this one implies it's opened longer. So it may not even be canon. I mean, I believe Mrs. Afton theory, but I don't think she was her when the place was opened. 

Elizabeth's death happens shortly after and the place closes. 

FNAF 4 (Fall 1983)

2. Lonely Freddy (Mid 80's)- Freddy's is opened like any other day, doesn't seem to be any murders connected at the moment, and it's likely with the original 4, not the same 4 we've seen, but it is a Freddy's around that time. 

3. The Cliffs (80's)- Maybe I'm overanalyzing but Robert buys the Freddy plush for his son without brining up any mystery, so it seems like it's before the rumors, also Freddy plushies are being sold, so Freddy's must be around. Tyler also wears a Freddy shirt, so more proof it's up and active. Um...only problem is that I think Robert said he had a phone so...yeah that's odd. I don't see why a kid would be a fan of Freddy, and why Freddy's stuff would be sold in the present though. 

4. Hide and Seek (Spring 1985)- Freddy's is up and running so it's in a time when Freddy's is around and when Shadow Bonnie is in the pizzeria. Side note, there's a kid in the graphic novel who looks like Fritz, so I wanna headcanon that it's him, and me placing it here, makes it even better lol. Spring because it's before the MCI, and Toby is in school. School years are helpful with these. I'm uhhh a little confused though because epilogue 10 confirms Eleanor was behind this too, yet Freddy's is opened??? 

MCI happens

5. He Told Me Everything (Fall 1980's)- We have yet another story that mentions Freddy's without connecting it to any mysteries. The Freddy's science kit is simply called a kids toy. School year just started so it's the end of summer and beginning of fall, sometime around them. 

6. The Puppet Carver (Winter 1980's)- Well...there's nothing mentioned that could place it anywhere specific but I'll place it here for two reasons. First, I'm pretty sure this takes place shortly after He Told Me Everything, secondly, Pigpatch was in this story, it's possible this confirms Pigpatch existed in the 80's as part of an old random restaurant before it got taken to Freddy's in the later future. Wether it's the same Pigpatch or not, is unknown. Adding onto taking place after HTME, Jack mentions the employees should study for upcoming finals, so it could be the end of the semester already, which means November/December, and not May/June if it's after HTME.
