Five Nights At Candy's
About Five Nights At Candy's
Five Nights At Candy's is a free online horror survival game where you take a night-shift security guard job at Candy's Burgers & Fries, a family restaurant with unsettling secrets. The help-wanted ad promises easy hours (12 AM to 6 AM) monitoring security cameras and keeping the animatronic characters safe — but it conveniently leaves out that those animatronics don't stay put once the lights go out. Armed with nothing but a bank of infrared security cameras, you must track movement across the restaurant, manage two doors and their limited power supply, and survive until sunrise without a jumpscare catching you off guard.
Five Nights At Candy's runs directly in your browser with no download required, staying true to the point-and-click camera-monitoring formula popularized by the Five Nights at Freddy's series while adding its own infrared camera mechanic and distinct roster of animatronic threats. The tension comes from managing limited information and limited power at the same time — you can't watch every camera and hold every door forever, so every decision has a cost.

Monitoring the Cameras
The restaurant is pitch black at night, so infrared is your only real window into what's moving through the building. Click a camera to pull up its feed, then click again to switch it into infrared mode so you can actually see shapes in the dark. You can flick between any infrared-equipped camera at will, and should turn infrared off once you're done checking a feed to conserve attention for the cameras that matter most in that moment.
Watching the Doors
Cameras CAM-04 and CAM-06 sit directly across from the restaurant's two doors, making them your early-warning system for anything approaching. Each door has its own shut button and power meter — closing a door blocks whatever's outside, but the longer it stays shut, the faster its power meter drains. Let a door's power run out while something is still outside, and you'll have no way to keep it closed, so timing when to seal a door and when to risk leaving it open is the core survival decision of every night.
Tips for Surviving Five Nights At Candy's
Don't leave a camera on infrared longer than necessary — it drains resources you need elsewhere, so check a feed, confirm what's there, and move on. Prioritize CAM-04 and CAM-06 over the others in the final hour of a shift, since a threat at either door with no power left to close it is the fastest way to lose. Rotate through cameras methodically rather than fixating on one feed, since animatronics elsewhere in the restaurant can close the distance while your attention is locked on a single door. If a door's power is running low, consider opening it briefly to let it recharge before a threat actually arrives, rather than waiting until you're forced to under pressure.
