Five Nights at Freddy’s is an amazing, simplistic horror series that has quite a bit of lore and interesting developments.

Right off the bat, this is a very creative and quite impressive series focused on the idea that you need to protect the pizzeria and catch any of the monsters that are in there. The games are not very long, but they are super fun and engaging. 

There are 8 FNAF games in total, and 6 Spin-Off games. They are all released and available to play today, so to help you navigate through all the releases, we’ve put them in an optimal play order for you to play the full series.
