The FINAL Mystery of Fnaf Sister Location: Solved... (timeline theory)...

There's also if you pay closely attention the animatronics in the mini game have buttons and remember before the classics were redesigned into well classics they were withered so in a way it's possible that they were broken and Fazbear entertainment had to rebuild them and used new designs before it officially closed which in a way kinda works I mean I don't think Scott just decided to add buttons for no reason I think he did it to show that before they closed they were still the original design before being remade well reused remade anyway the buttons are for some reason also overlooked

Easy motivation for William returning for a 5th night of follow me is to take the Springbonnie suit. He knows it has been raining every night so he can’t just wear it out. The other days he’s been taking remnant. He just wants the suit because he’s so attached to it (see The Silver Eyes).

I think there tends to be clearly a problem with the way people are trying to solve the fnaf timelines, which is their thinking holistically, which means that all angles but the problem here is that Scott mentioned in dawko interview that he had he did not plan on making this many games rather he made them one at a time and expanded upon the pre-existing story. I also want to point out that there is clearly a number of retcons throughout the series, with the most painfully obvious example being in fnaf 2 where the person who dies and becomes the puppet is referred to as a he but later on in fnaf 6 it is retconned to be a she. So all-in-all, I think it is a bit ridiculous at times to use information for theories referring to past games due to a combination of him not planning to make the game at the time that the previous game was made or due to potential retcons.
(I'm not saying that as an argument to debunked this theory. I'm just saying that in general)

Didn't Funtime Freddy kill at least one child? Isn't this child the reason why he is possessed? Great video, better than I expected.

I only recently discovered your content, so apologies if you've already covered this, but I have to ask why you think William was working as a security guard in Follow Me? It's the only thing keeping me from agreeing with this theory, because as far as I know, nothing's really implied that to be the case, and without that then there's no reason for William to come back for a fifth night. I'm not big into the books, so it's probably something from those.

So I personally believe that Elizabeth dies before 1983, but not because of the mangle suit. But because it specified that there was a spring lock suit that was present at the location that is neither spring bonnie, or fredbear. We know this because on night 4 we get a pretty clear view inside and the design appears to be very similar to the design of the fun times. One thing that baby says is that the suit was never used at least not in the way it was intended. saying that it was to dangerous. However, quick question if Afton created it to kill people why would baby say that wasn't used as intended meaning that it was used in a way it wasn't supposed to be used. My theory is that the original lineup of animatronics for circus baby's pizza world wasn't the fun time animatronics. Instead, it was supposed to be baby and the spring lock suit that was never used. But wait Elizabeth was killed by a claw how was that not an intended feature meant to kill kids? Because its use is actually practical its simply a claw that was meant to hold the ice cream cone and give it to the child. Except baby malfunctioned after all she says it herself saying that. I stopped and didn't feel like myself and then she stepped closer. The fact is that even the technicians on night 4 talk about how the animatronics are prone to hardware malfunctions. Meaning its absolutely possible this is exactly what happened. I know this is a lot but one thing more that is interesting is that were introduced to the spring lock suit on night4. Because on night 4 of fnaf 3. We hear about a spring lock failure at a sister location that has deemed them as to dangerous to use. You can take that with what you will. Just kinda interesting. Also, the blueprints for the baby are unlike any of the other animatronics which is another reason that I think she was made for a different reason than the rest of the fun times. Okay rant aside great video so absolutely interesting points. Just something would love to hear your thoughts on.

Great theory. I do have some questions tho.

If Sister location takes place after fnaf 1 and 2. Why does Mike get fired at both locations because of odor?

Phone guy mentions the Bite of 87 in one of the fnaf 1 calls. He says that it was pretty suprising how one could live without his frontal lobe. What if Mike was the bite victim? I mean, he could easily survive that after he became practically immortal.

Mike says he is going to find his father. Why not start at the fnaf 1 and 2 locations?

Correct me if Im wrong tho

What if Michael was ‘Purple Guy’ all along

Maybe the Empty Girls room is implying that Elizabeth is living with her Mother after the Divorce of William and his Wife?
Willy would surely have to have a room when she stays over for visits or such. Also i too always thought evidence of her being dead at this point was fairly weak. Since Michael or Foxybro does not have his own room in that house and the crying child room has only one bed. So there are surely places of the house not depicted when you know how big it actually is considering FNAF 4.

If the Remnant of the kids is in the Funtimes then why are their ghosts in the last FNaF 3 minigame. They should be at the Sister Location.

Makes sense to me. Fuck this fucking game. The Afton family was a mistake.

There are a few issues I have with this admittedly solid theory and I do agree with some parts of it. First off why would mike use fake names for Fnaf 1 or tamper with the animatronics or even go back to Fnaf one with no knowledge of Williams acts and the last time he was in a fazbear establishment his brother died. Also the idea of the tape girls quote being defense doesn’t stand when in the same game Scott brings up the rogue game developer which throws everything into question unnecessarily. This to me are the largest plot holes in this theory but the multi day follow me was a bombshell I agree with and the placement of sister location as well as the reasoning I also agree with.

My opinion: 1985, Fnaf 1 takes place
Fnaf 2 takes place in 1987 and William goes to dismantle the animatronics in the fnaf 2 location ( if you think that the stage in the miniganes point out to fnaf 1 is wrong because this minigame just represents the event and not specific)
1988 was William's springlock death and then 1990 was obviously sister Location

"There was a yellow suit in the parts & service and it is now stolen"
- FNaF 2 Phone Guy Late Nights

(Fixed)

i agree with this timeline, though i believe that the funtimes are possessed by the dci victims after the toys were decomissioned

Not saying it is impossible for FNaF 1 to take place in 1993, but it’s more likely FNaF 1 takes place in 1992.

I always thought that the FNAF 3 cutscenes were meant to be the origins of the withered animatronics?

The FNAF 1 animatronics don't have buttons but the withered animatronics do, just like the ones in the cutscenes. The withered animatronics were functional in 1985, the same time as the MCI, so if they were destroyed by William afterwards and then rebuilt for FNAF 1 then the whole possessed thing still adds up.

I also think I remember the FNAF 3 phone guy saying something about finding Springtrap in a sealed up saferoom? If it was the semi-abandoned FNAF 1 location then i doubt anyone would've taken the time to seal him in there (I tried finding evidence for the whole "sealed up room" thing but I can't so I might be misremembering)


It seems like there's evidence for them to pre date either FNAF 2 or FNAF 1, but I'm too stupid to figure it out so idk. I really want Sister Location to take place right after FNAF 1 because the odour thing never made any sense to me either...

sister location was the start of a new lore

the follow me minigames definitely take place on one night and not over the course of 5. The detail you overlooked which proves this is the fact that during each follow me minigame you can hear thunder and see rain dripping. Since it is raining in each minigame, it can be assumed that William dismantling each animatronic and getting springlocked occurs over the course of one 'rainy' night.

literally bro. fav fnaf theorist

This is one of the best fnaf theory video's i've seen in a hot minute i only have 1 nitpick (which isn't that big of a deal)

I disagree with the placement on william aftons death if fnaf 3 takes place of november 1993 and the restaurant is said to shut down by years end this means that at earliest the fnaf 1 location shuts down very late November (but probably later) so william dying in December is very unlikely when you look at the condition of the location its more likely follow me takes place in early 1994 at least i think the condition of the location can't be that decomposed 1 month after the restaurant closed bare minimum the restaurant would of had to close months after the closing of fnaf 1 tho then again i'm not an expert on how fast locations decompose so i could be wrong

But i sincerely liked your video dude i enjoyed it very much i gave it a like

Well the animatronics from follow me have buttons so they have to be the untethered withered animatronics. The fnaf 1 animatronics don't have buttons.

I think the movie will take place DURING the follow me minigames

What about the SL map where Fredbears, Afton house & Observation rooms are connected?

This can't be true, because of phone guy.
phone guy dies the week before fnaf 1, but in fnaf 3 he records a cassette stating the saferoom are being sealed, with Afton inside. if the animatronics are alive in fnaf 1 and phone guy is not, the saferoom has already been sealed. making it impossible for the MCI kids to be in funtime freddy.

It will be funny if sister location takes place in 2016

I thought Funtime Freddy was possessed from the Remnant he got from all the children he abducted in his stomach. Why else would William be abducting all these kids with the Funtimes?

mrbeast wasnt in herre. clickbait

In my opinion
Elizabeth was born between 1980 & 1982 and died in 1987

I clicked on this solely to see how Mr beast fits into this

I think that Michael was fired for odor because he was tampering with the Animatronics, and the Animatronics have the bodies of the children.

Seeing how Phone Guy in FNAF 3 tells employees that the safe rooms are going to be boarded up and he dies in FNAF 1, my guess is that William unboarded it since the animatronics can't go in there anyway. The spirits can, but not the actual animatronics. That phonecall had to have been made somewhere between 83 and 87 since they're no longer in use in 87. Also, while William is tearing apart the animatronics, I'm pretty sure there isn't a night guard, and since the placed closed at the end of 1993, it's likely it's sometime in 94 he goes back while it's completely empty.

The thumbnails changed I think 4 separate times from what I’ve seen, what u goin for shy crow 😭😂😭😂💀

Good vid. A part of the story that frustrates me about the story is CC dying before Elizabeth. It seems like a missed oppurtunity. Like, I know he died before her, but the narrative would have made a lot more sense if she had died first...
Elizabeth is too enthusiastic about the animatronics, and William realises making CB in honour of her was a bad idea and tries to discourage her, but it's too little too late and she still gets killed by CB in the end. William knows his oldest, teenage Mike isn't very interested in the animatronics anymore so theres little danger of him going too close to them - however, his youngest, CC is, and William doesn't want the same happen to his youngest child.
So, he somehow gets the nightmare animatronics to terrify CC. Michael starts bullying him and teasing him with the animatronics - William turns a blind eye to this and even encourages it because he knows it makes CC more scared of them, so he will not go too close to them.
The nightmares are, in William's screwed up logic, a way of caring for CC. However, the plan doesn't go so well when Michael and his buddies get carried away and put a terrified CC directly into Fredbear's mouth.
William might blame Michael for the youngest Afton's death - maybe he even intends for Mike to get scooped when he opens up CB's Entertainment and Rentals some years later

I love how fnaf fans have basically created a lot of the story. There is no way in hell you can tell me with a straight face Scott thought of all this lol. No chance. Fnaf is a unique franchise where Scott creates the basics and we just fill in the rest where Scott sees it and says yea thats good and it just becomes offical. Its like a collab between Scott and the fans and thats pretty cool. Makes it extremely messy and convoulted at times sure, but pretty cool. And for those who dont really follow the inside theories like this, we still have the lore from fnaf 1-6 from the games themselves that still create a cohesive and good story. Like others have referenced with the logbook, i think this is false but its still presented well anyways.

I respect Funtime Freddy being in the thumbnail

Why would like even be down there if it's in the fnaf4 house it would only make sense if when he beat the nightmares he finds the underground basement. And why would he be in fnaf 1 location if he never knew his dad was bad until he found the sister location

This makes a lot of sense

But then why would michael even work at fnaf 1 if he at the time did not have the incentive of finding his father?

Im sure other people have said this already but another great explanetion for the Odor thing is that the animatronics themselfs stink due to the corpses that are still in them. Remember the bodies of the mci kids were never found and its mentioned in the fnaf 1 posters that the animatronics started to smell terrible and rotten. So mike tampering with the stinky animatronics makes him stinky aswell.

Where was it shown that Fazbear Entertainment was founded in 1983.

Also, the reason that Mike had, "Odor" could be because he was tampering woth the animatronics that once had dead bodies in them. Also, of Mike's decay WAS the reason for his odor, that means he would have to have been decaying when he got the job. Why would anybody hire a literal walking corpse?

I think Sister Location happens in the year 2000

nah your missing a lot of details that prove that FNaF SL
happened in 1985

I believe that SL could have taken place between 1985 and 1987...

Funny thing is, all we needed was Michael's TV. The TV is a box TV, which is not a flat screen TV that was invented in 1997 and became popular in the 2000's. This would give us a time span of (when I believe FNAF 1 takes place) 1989 to 2009. However if we want to cut out the 2000's entirely, we get 1989 to 1999. This means that Michael, since he worked at FNAF 2 and had to be at 18, was 20 to 30 in SL. If anybody else can narrow it down further, be my guest.
