Five Nights at Freddy's Full Story Theory: SPOILERS
10 years ago
Once You Go Blue...
With FNAF 3 out and many completing the game already, I believe the series has reached the end of it's story making it a solid trilogy. There's always a chance it could continue but the story indicates that it's probably the end. The following is what I assume to be the events of FNAF in chronological order.
First there's the first pizzeria known as Fazbears, where the first child is murdered by the Killer as seen in FNAF 2's minigame where you give cake to the children. After that incident the place shut down and another was opened but left to rot, whether the original Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, or Foxy came from the first or second I'm unsure.
Finally in FNAF 2 Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria is open, with brand new animatronics that can detect child predators while the old ones sit in the back. Before this game the killer returns, using the Golden Freddy suit to lure children away to kill them, five in total and stuffed into the old animatronic suits in a restraunt before the one in 2 but not the one the very first crying child was murdered. However the spirit of the first child is imbued into the Puppet, and as seen in a minigame brings life to the animatronics with the souls of the other murdered children. The murderer using the Golden Freddy suit either tampered with or confused the new animatronics to the point they attack anyone at night who isn't a child or in costume, while the old animatronics do so out of revenge. Phone guy calls to confirm the killer used the Golden Freddy or Springtrap suit and that the place will close down due to the bite of 87 which was the year for that game. Whether it happened before or after the call is uncertain, but it is assumed Foxy bit an adult's frontal lobe off since the animatronics would never hurt a child.
In the first game we see just the original four animatronics after the newer ones were scrapped. They proceed to hunt down the player and even kill the phone guy. The restraunt was in the process of being closed down. At some point before that happens, the killer lures the animatronics one by one to him and manages to destroy them to protect himself. The spirit of the first child appears and along with the other four victims chase and corner the killer in one room with an animatronic suit that could be worn by humans. To escape, the killer jumps into a yellow Bonnie suit and laughs at their inability to go anything to him. But the springs in the suit were very unstable and as he laughs the suit suddenly snaps shut and crushes the killer inside, ending his life in an ironic way. The spirits dissipate but the story isn't over.
Finally in FNAF3 the pizzeria is gone but a haunted house attraction based off of the tragedy is now open. You play as a guard watching over the new establishment with no issues until management finds one animatronic still in one piece. This is Springtrap, the yellow suit that the killer died in, you can even see some flesh inside. The killer possessed the suit he was killed in and hunts you down, while you are plagued by hallucinations of the old animatronics. The good ending reveals that the place burns down as hinted by the guy over the phone, and the suit along with the killers remains are destroyed, endings his evil once and for all as the children's spirits move on.
A very interesting story, but one question remains: who was the killer?
Some say it was the Phone guy since you can see a badge and phone in one minigame, but he died on night 4 in the first game and the animatronics still pursued Mike on night 5 so it's unlikely.
It's more likely that Mike was the killer, though if he was fired before they got to him then that is also a problem.
All we know is that the killer had access to everything and though the newspaper articles say he was caught this is likely due to someone else being framed, possibly Jeremy from 2. It may even be possible that Jeremy and Mike are the same person under different names, making them both the killer and explains why the animatronics come for you.
My best guess for the killer however is the unnamed daytime guard in 2 that switched due to the animatronics coming for him during the day and reported no unusual activity while the place was being investigated. This gives him access to both the suit and his victims. Phone guy also states that the place is to be locked down and prevent previous employees from entering, as well as a new daytime position being open but that may be due to Foxy biting an innocent daytime guard.
But it isn't certain, this part is all just guessing.
But all in all this was a fun series with a plot that really made people think. As much as I liked it, I hope this is the end for story's sake with the killer turkey dead and the spirits in peace.
Any thoughts on the theories above? Did you enjoy the series?

We also know from the phone calls the room was sealed up (properly to cover up the death of purple guy) but hear lies my confusion, the fact that its phone guy that gives use this info.
This means that purple guy died before phone guy in fnaf-1 was killed by the animatronics, which if that's the case opens up a whole new can of worms, but i'v properly missed something. I don't know
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=euu6mQxISHI
That's what I mean but on night 6, phone guy says that the safe room mentioned in the night 3 call is being sealed
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jU6CwqNw6P0
the only way I can think of phone guy being killed before purple guy is if he reopened the safe room to destroy the animatronics
And Ventilation was used to keep the office clearly of Animatronic/Endoskeleton exhaust air. They are poison that can making people suffering the hallucination after spend enough time in the building. Toxic is what you're looking for, not ventilation.
So for Mike/Jeremy/Fritz/Unknown (fourth is FNaF3 character that player is used to play in); I gotta bet your ass they were involving with Fredbear's Family Diner in 1973 when it first opened. Mike hallucinated both Freddy and Bonnie, which referred to Fredbear and Springtrap, respective. Same thing for Jeremy/Fritz, who they saw the "Shadow" version of Freddy and Bonnie. Fourth character was able to see up to 6 different animatronics, excluded Bonnie himself (since Springtrap exists), in the following names; Freddy, Puppet, BB, Chica, Mangle and Foxy. It would suggesting that the fourth character was at kid's age when he met Chica, but did not meeting Freddy or Foxy due to their appearance being taken from 1987, while Chica was in her good condition from the original game.
And yes I was looking for the word toxic though animatronics shouldn't produce any fumes except of course the rotting flesh beneath.
At least Scott will make two more FNaF; one for Fredbear part - of how they started the whole story, and one for "Old Animatronics" that appeared in FNaF2, before their deteriorating into their FNaF2 appearance.
Before I begin let me pose the idea that the animatronics are sentient beings without the dead children possessing them
First, there's fredbear's family diner depicted in the give birthday cake minigame. Freddy serves cake to the screaming children. Purple guy kills the crying child and the original Freddy feels guilty for allowing a child to die. The incident gets widespread attention and fredbear's diner gets closed down and old Freddy is scrapped.
Next comes location one of fazbear pizza, they build a new Freddy along with creating bonnie, chica and foxy. Along with that, they make several extra suits. They open up shop and hire the murderer as a security guard (by accident of course). Then one by one, the murderer takes the children back into the restaurant and kills them. every night when he was claiming another victim the ghost of the scraped Freddy (who by now is a ghost himself becoming the purple Freddy) leads his animatronics brethren to the purple guy to try and stop him from killing but every time the purple guy kills the animatronics. By the fifth night, another child is dead and there are no more animatronics to help so the fifth child ghost rallies the others to confront the purple guy. The purple guy gets spooked by the ghostly children, runs into spring trap, and dies himself. Then the first location burns down and is left to rot
Later on, the second location is opened and the new toy models are built. By now, the old animatronics are scrapped and essentially dead. However, the fifth child the one who did the deed of killing purple guy transfers the sprits of the other four children into the scrapped animatronics before he himself becomes the puppet. However purple guy's ghost is not gone, he lives on as springtrap who I believe to actually be golden Freddy (only evidence I got for that one is the pose golden Freddy makes when he appears). Golden Freddy wants revenge for being killed by his victims so he possesses the day shift guy and uses his body to kill more children. Meanwhile the child possessed animatronics mistake you for purple guy and the toy models mistake you for dayshift guy. The murders get the place shut down again and you know the rest
Then location three opens up, the toys are gone but the originals are still possessed and still think you're purple guy. Meanwhile the puppet's ghost persists in the posters on the wall on the left-hand side of your office. And golden Freddy is still around because springtrap still exists. The restaurant then finally closes.
Now we come to the haunted attraction, new security guy is about, spring trap’s physical form is found, and he being an insatiable killer starts coming after you. The hallucinations might be ghosts of the dead children but idk for sure. and that's my hypothesess
there's a hidden comment reply here that was me I posted this comment to the wrong thread sorry ;^.^
After that, the Purple Guy used the Golden Freddy Suit to lure 5 children into the Diner so he could kill them. Those five were entombed into Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and finally Golden Freddy himself. At the end of FNaF 3 though, five souls confronted the Purple Guy because those were the only animatronics still around, as Puppet had been scrapped by then, and thus his soul couldn't find peace like the others did.
I figure the reason you play as the sixth victim in the final mini-game is because Golden Freddy had been destroyed long ago, so his soul wandered the Pizzeria in confusion until the other 4 were released from their suits. That child could also be the reason for the 'It's me' hallucinations in the first game, as the child might be trying to grab Mike's attention. We don't 100% know what happened to the Puppet's soul because he was shown to be present in the final incarnation of the restaurant through the flashbacks in FNaF 2. But it is possible his early scrapping prevented that soul from passing on or even reappearing.
