Highlights

  • Fans eagerly await answers about the mysterious locked box in the latest Five Nights at Freddy’s game, but creator Scott Cawthon’s response may not satisfy everyone.
  • The community speculates that the Crying Child may be the secret of the box, connecting him to William Afton and the Happiest Day mini-game.

As a die-hard fan of Five Nights at Freddy’s who has survived countless terrifying nights and pieced together countless theories, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and disappointment upon hearing Scott Cawthon’s latest revelation about the mysterious locked box in FNaF 4. On one hand, it’s refreshing to finally hear something official from the creator himself about this enigma that has haunted us for years. On the other hand, his response leaves more questions than answers, and I can’t help but feel like I’ve been led on a wild goose chase.

The popular indie horror series, Five Nights at Freddy’s, is known for its spooky backstory and intricate puzzles that often challenge players. Yet, the enigma surrounding the fourth game’s locked box has been a persistent frustration for the community. Fortunately, creator Scott Cawthon has recently shed some light on this mystery. Fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s have come up with numerous theories to uncover the contents of the mysterious box, but it seems they’ll have to be patient as a definitive answer is yet to come.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve been thrilled to see Scott Cawthon actively celebrating the 10-year milestone of the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” franchise. His latest updates have included insights into how he selects collaborations, particularly following Dead by Daylight’s partnership with those terrifying animatronics. In keeping with the anniversary spirit, Cawthon has also offered a candid response about that mysterious box that’s intrigued us all.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but be captivated by the enigma surrounding the mysterious box that was subtly hinted at in Scott Cawthon and YouTuber Dawko’s conversation. This intriguing artifact makes its appearance during the Night 7 end cutscene of Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, adorned with two locks and accompanied by the cryptic message, “Perhaps some things are best left forgotten, for now.” The creator himself acknowledged the mystery but cautioned us that his explanation might not please everyone. Essentially, there was a plan related to the box, but the concept seemed to evaporate into the ethereal realm. Cawthon eloquently expressed, “…[T]here is something in the box, but I never pursued that, and I don’t know if I can find it again. I think that’s the best answer that I can possibly give for that.”

Five Nights at Freddy’s Creator Addresses the Franchise’s Biggest Mystery

Previously, I had the incredible opportunity to witness Dawko’s interview with Cawthon, delving deep into the enigmatic world of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” and its intriguing fan theories surrounding the mysterious box. YouTube sensation MatPat posited that the essence behind the box has subtly shifted over time. To my amazement, Cawthon acknowledged MatPat’s observation as “spot on,” elaborating that the story of the box was shaped by its original concept, fans’ responses, and Cawthon’s own ambition to mold it into something more captivating and refined.

In the fun side games of Five Nights at Freddy’s, additional details about the series are revealed, and one widely discussed fan theory proposes that the Crying Child is hidden within the box. As the principal character in Five Nights at Freddy’s 4, the Crying Child’s body is speculated to have been placed inside the box by William Afton, who sought to mend the child after being bitten by the Fredbear robot. The fanbase also suspects a link between the Crying Child and the fifth child in the Happiest Day mini-game, as both share a strong resemblance to one another.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve always looked up to Cawthon for his intricate storytelling in the Fazbear Entertainment franchise. The Tales from the Pizzaplex books have been instrumental in unraveling many mysteries, such as the fate of the spirits of Five Nights at Freddy’s victims. However, it seems we may not get answers about the contents of that enigmatic box anytime soon. Unless Cawthon decides to bring his creative vision back from the ethereal realm, the secrets it holds will remain hidden for a while.
