Six hunters are named in the experience description, and it says they hunt by their own rules. There is no single safe habit. The Puppet is not one of the six. EXG, the bodyguard from the pass, is a friendly bear and is easy to confuse with Freddy.
The response the description lists
| Hunter | What the description tells you | Extra, from later play notes |
|---|---|---|
| Foxy | Keep your light on his face | Hold it until he retreats for STAND YOUR GROUND. Night vision does not replace this. |
| Freddy | Closet or vent when he is near | He uses sight and sound. NECK INTACT wants you in Parts & Service when he walks in, then out alive. |
| Bonnie | Closet or vent | One run hid in a bathroom stall and got past him. That is one stall, one night. |
| Chica | Closet or vent | A quiet kitchen is a cue she has left, and she follows noise. FIVE-STAR SERVICE is leaving her kitchen alive. |
| Golden Freddy | No separate counter. Voice is the only attached note | If the screen goes dark and something gold sits in the corner, the radio says do not look at it. |
| Fredbear | No separate counter. Voice is the only attached note | A later walkthrough says his size slows him in doorways. TIGHT SQUEEZE is surviving him forcing into your room. |
The closet-or-vent line is one instruction shared by Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica. It does not prove they patrol the same way. It means the written answer is the same until you are close enough to tell them apart.
Foxy, in order
- Listen. Patrol lines and footsteps are why headphones matter.
- Confirm it is Foxy before you spend the light.
- Aim at the face and keep the beam there until he backs off. A flash is not the badge.
- If you need distance instead, a closet, a vent, or a barricade still exist, but the barricade will be kicked in.
IN THE DARK asks you to escape with the light off all night. Do not attempt that badge on the same run as STAND YOUR GROUND.
Barricades, closets, vents
Hold interact on a chair to barricade a door. The description says they kick barricaded doors in. Use the seconds to reach a closet, a vent, or the next room. Do not wait behind the chair.
In one recorded run, opening a barred party-room door after a voice outside led to a Birthday Bear scare and a SEIZED screen. Do not open a barricade for a voice you cannot see.
Vents are a real route, not a last resort, for the three hunters who share the closet instruction. Infinite Stamina, if you bought it, is described as covering vent crawls as well as sprinting. You do not need the pass to crawl.
Voice is a maybe
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Golden Freddy, and Fredbear are described as hearing voice chat. Foxy's written counter is the flashlight, and the description does not confirm that he listens. Saying the right thing may get you released. The word is may. The working phrase is not printed. SILVER TONGUE is talking one into letting you go. SPARED is different: you are caught on your last life, you talk back, and you go where it tells you.
On 10 November 2026 the Roblox about panel listed Voice Chat as Not Supported while the description still told players the animatronics listen. If the live client has no voice, use text or the Puppet's question list, and do not treat a missing mic as proof the hunters ignore sound.
Names that are not the six
Springtrap is the figure in the Phase 1 lot, after you are already outside. The Amalgamation is the tentacled threat in CHOP SHOP. The squatter is the camera threat you flash, and the one that drags friends for NOT ON MY WATCH. Birthday Bear and Vintage Freddy are scare names from a recorded run, not extra entries in the official hunter list.
