“Do you want to watch a 90 minute video about Five Nights at Freddy’s lore?” has become an inside troll joke around our house. And, yes, I have watched it to prepare for this year’s Five Night’s at Freddy’s<\/em> (FNAF) birthday party game<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We moved into a new house with a roomy basement and a legit secret room, so this is where everything was based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PREPARATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, I spent a lot of time in pre-planning. I always learn lessons from the previous year and make improvements. Last year, the big hurdle was that five kids cannot work on one puzzle. Someone gets excluded and then disengaged. So this year, I made branching paths right at the start \u2013 two paths that came back together at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to the local Goodwill to find little boxes and other items. I was excited to find an old clock with a compartment in the back and a few wooden boxes that would be perfect for the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SET UP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the kids were “security guards” and I had badges ready for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decorated my basement with all the cool FNAF posters I could find online and made a few myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also bought some party favors and made some FNAF treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We leveraged our spooky Halloween smoke machine, black lights, and strobe lights for the full effect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
