Each hour in the game lasts only 30 seconds per hour. Stay alert and watch the window!
When Epstein appears at the window, you have only 0.5 seconds to react!
E key to scare Epstein away. Fail and you'll be clapped!
Similar to FNAF 3, you use cameras to monitor different locations. Cameras can break randomly and need to be fixed. Use the camera system to track enemy movements and plan your strategy.
Use camera audio to lure enemies away from you. Play audio from cameras near enemy locations. CRITICAL: The audio lure does NOT work twice in a row in the same room—you must alternate between cameras (e.g. Cam 7 and Cam 8) to push enemies back. Overusing lures can also cause cameras to break; when they break, go to the control panel and restart them. Audio lures don't affect Stephen Hawking. Pro tip: Keep enemies in the back hallway "hook" (cam 9, 10, 11) for easier management.
Trump attacks through vents in camera 1 or 2. When you hear banging, close the vents immediately. Wait until you hear banging again (meaning he left) before opening the vents—opening too early can get you killed. If you leave them closed too long, you die from lack of oxygen.
You must manage multiple enemies simultaneously. Monitor Epstein's location, lure FC away, manage Trump's vent attacks, and electrocute Stephen Hawking regularly. Quick thinking and fast reactions are essential.
Cameras can break if you overuse audio lures. When cameras break, you'll see a "Camera Error" message. You must restart the cameras at the control panel before you can use electrocution again—you cannot electrocute Stephen Hawking while cameras are out. Restart immediately or you'll be blind to enemy movements!
Each night lasts from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM (each hour is 30 seconds real time). The game has 7 nights total: main Nights 1–5, then Night 6 and Night 7 unlock after beating Night 5. More enemies appear as you advance; Nights 4 and 5 are the hardest.
Night 1 - Introduction
Epstein and FC appear. Focus on learning the camera system and audio lure mechanics (alternate Cam 7 and 8).
Night 2 - Vent Attacks Begin
Trump joins, starting at Camera 9 and attacking through vents in Camera 1 or 2. Listen for banging; wait until he leaves before reopening vents.
Night 3 - Electrocution Required
Stephen Hawking appears at Camera 6. Electrocute him regularly (warning goes yellow then red). You cannot electrocute while cameras are out—restart them first.
Nights 4-5 - Maximum Difficulty
All enemies active; these are the two hardest main nights. Near 5:00 AM prioritize Stephen Hawking, then keep Epstein as far back as possible (hook strategy).
Night 6 - Special Night with Epstein
Unlocked after Night 5. Only Epstein (appears bright yellow). No Trump or Stephen Hawking. Ending audio is decodable for the secret ending.
Night 7 - Final Story Night
All four enemies return at high difficulty. Same strategies as 4–5; after beating it, Custom Knight (Ultimate = 20/20/20/20) unlocks the third star and secret ending.
The camera system is your primary tool for monitoring enemy locations. Understanding camera layout and audio lure mechanics is crucial for survival.
Key cameras and how to use them:
Audio lures must be played from cameras near enemy locations to be effective. Important rules:
When cameras break, go to the control panel to restart them immediately. You cannot electrocute Stephen Hawking while cameras are out. For Stephen Hawking: the warning goes yellow then red—electrocute before it turns red. Don't spam electrocution (it can force enemies to move). In a crisis, prioritize Stephen Hawking first, then Epstein.
Being without cameras means you're blind to enemy movements, which is extremely dangerous!
Enemies: Epstein, FC
Learn the basics: camera navigation, audio lures, and window reactions. Keep both enemies in Camera 11 using audio lures. This night is designed to be easier for new players.
Enemies: Epstein, FC, Trump
Trump starts at Camera 9 and attacks through vents. Listen carefully for banging sounds and manage vent controls. Prioritize Epstein over Trump when using audio lures.
Enemies: Epstein, FC, Trump, Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking requires periodic electrocution at Camera 6. Balance electrocution timing with vent management and audio lures. This is where multi-tasking becomes critical.
Enemies: All active
Maximum difficulty with all enemies active. Cameras break less frequently in later nights, but enemy movement patterns become more unpredictable. Master the rhythm of electrocution, vent management, and audio lures.
After beating the main nights, unlock Custom Knight to set each character's level. Set all to level 20 for Ultimate Night—beat it to unlock the secret ending and earn your third gold star!
Pro Tip: Night 6's ending audio is decodable and may help you achieve the secret ending!
Five Nights at Epsteins features multiple enemies, each with unique behaviors and strategies. Learn how to survive against each one!
The main antagonist who appears at the window. You must react within 0.5 seconds when he appears.
Always starts at camera 11. Moves extremely quickly between camera locations - can move from cam 11 to cam 3 in just 1 second! Can be lured away using audio from cameras, but is very difficult to see on screen.
Keep him in the back rooms (cam 8 or cam 11) using audio lures. The audio lure must be played from a camera near where Epstein is located. Press E immediately when he appears at the window - you only have 0.5 seconds!
A character that always starts at camera 11 and can be lured using camera audio.
Begins at cam 11. Responds to audio lures from nearby cameras.
Use camera audio to lure FC away from you. Make sure the camera playing sound is near where FC is located.
Attacks through vents in camera 1 or 2. You'll hear banging when he's in the vents.
Starts at camera 9, then enters vents in cam 1 or 2. Makes banging sounds when in vents. Can be lured with audio but prioritize Epstein.
Listen for banging sounds. Close vents immediately when you hear banging. Open them after a few seconds when banging stops, or you'll die from lack of oxygen.
Always stays at camera 6 and is not affected by audio lures. Requires periodic electrocution.
Permanently located at cam 6. Immune to audio lures. Will leave cam 6 if not electrocuted regularly.
Electrocute Stephen Hawking on cam 6 periodically to prevent him from leaving. This is essential for survival.
