About the game
What you do in a play session
If you think Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is a peaceful spot, it's because you've only seen it during the day! In 'Night of Frights!', the vibe shifts completely once the lights go out and the animatronics take over. Here, you aren't the victim—you're the hunter. You step into the shoes of one of the iconic characters—Freddy, Chica, Foxy, or Bonnie—and your goal is simple yet cruel: capture the security guard before any of your teammates do.
The gameplay revolves around exploring the restaurant, moving across the board to collect items that boost your 'scary' level. The more terrifying you become, the better your chances of success. But don't expect a walk in the park; the game uses an Action Points system, forcing you to decide exactly where to spend your moves each round to optimize your path to the security office.
The extra spice comes from Variable Player Powers, as each animatronic possesses a unique ability that can turn the tide of the game. And, of course, like any good competitive game, there's a healthy dose of 'Take That' mechanics, allowing you to mess with your opponents' plans while racing toward the goal. It's a frantic and treacherous race where movement strategy and a bit of mischief are the keys to victory. Get ready for plenty of laughs, a few betrayals, and the tension of seeing who will finally pounce on the guard first!
