Finding Frankie - The Story Explained

[@cometcartoons8528]

Honestly having parkour mechanics in a horror game is one the best mechanics you could have. It makes chase sequences that more engaging.

[@StevenSilvas-z5m]

First of all, The Other Frankie locked us in Hexa Havoc

[@TheDragonfriday]

It good but parkcore need more work on. It need option see monster behind easily 99% of the games players run without looking back. It feel less scary that way, it more scary see the monster chase you while you run.

[@Jynxxx5]

@@TheDragonfridaytrue, but it was still scary either way.

[@shoobzy3431]

​@@TheDragonfridayThat's such a missed opportunity ngl. Having a hotkey that just looks behind you for a second would've been great.

[@casuallatecomer7597]

​@TheDragonfriday or perhaps arrange the level or chase similar to Poppy Playtime chapter 1's final chase? Just have sequences where the monster occasionally shows up in front of you, implying that it is always nearby and one step ahead of you. Not sure if this can be applicable to Finding Frankie, since most of the chase sequences are straight runs most of the time (Perhaps in an expansion/dlc or sequel?). Otherwise mirrors or TV screens showing you being chased or a quick peek as a hot-key suggested by shoobzy.

[@notyours807]

There are some clues that show that the protagonist might have a bit more to them than just innocence. They have a large amount of Frankie cereal boxes, implying they knew about the games and were looking for a chance to participate. Remember, most other contestants last only a few seconds or minutes at most according to Henry hotline and Other Frankie, but the protagonist makes it all the way to the end. This could easily be because he watched the show and learned. With all of that, it is easy to see the protagonist accepting Other Frankie's offer at the end.

[@liliespetals19]

What would they have learned if the longest previous contestants last is a minute or two? Not many tips to get there imo

[@Jynxxx5]

True, reminds me of Squid Games with the protagonist decides to go back after winning.

[@shoobzy3431]

​@@liliespetals19Yeah this doesn't particularly add up. If nobody has even made it half as far as they did then how did they do so well?

If no one has lasted as long as the contestant, how could they have known what was coming

[@Superiorrod]

[@VXXIE-r7l]

The announcer literally just said “Oh, Frankie’s feeling a little moody today, he hasn’t had his snickers yet!” for murdering the rest of the contestants.

[@joviemaeaparice3720]

Your not you when your hungry moment 💀

[@Ohdum]

[@The_Book_Director]

This reply section is beautiful.

[@colekiesler6218]

The detail that the real Frankie watches you in places you don’t expect during first time play throughs, definitely shows in the lore that this Frankie is possibly the one pulling everything behind the strings without consequence.

[@adamk-paxlogan7330]

It's pretty obvious. Considering that he told Frankie to not kill the player in the vents.

I think it’s 3.99 a box cheaper the most items but he did buy 769 boxes-

[@lycanthropyhamerworth515]

​@@StrawberryShorty-gl6ixI just did some quick math and apparently if he opened 769 boxes at the price of 3.99 it comes to a total spending of a little over 3000 not including taxes. So to spend 3000 to try and make 5 million might not be the worst trade off in the world. Though I do wonder if the illegal game show has prize tax. Probably not cause it's not legal to begin with and it is in cash.

[@unknownnametag6595]

Another interesting detail is that if you read the chat that appears in one room two people are saying that the blood is “a bit much” for this season, implying that they stream contestants being torn apart and viewers either don’t know or very few viewers don’t know.

[@cheyblake2475]

I was wondering, does the audience know that people are actually getting killed, or do they think it’s fake (possibly the screen they’re watching manipulating on how it’s being viewed)?

[@moodies_]

The viewers did say the blood was kinda "forced." Maybe they're saying that the show used an unnecessary amount blood, making it seem unrealistic. So yeah, maybe they really don't know it's all real.

[@Jerotero]

Yeah I found that really odd yes people in real life can be that dumb but someone must have called the cops since we overhear a police transmission when meeting "the real Frankie" yet nothing comes of it? Another odd moment that I feel was worth mentioning with this

[@Omega_speed]

@@cheyblake2475 every single chatter on the board is anonymous. I’d say more likely than not they know. They wouldn’t want to show their name tag on a game show where the participants get executed if they get too far

[@azeria1]

Maybe not all episodes are as violent like what happened at the start and frankie has been getting more hostile recently

[@blackgirlotaku7310]

It was an interesting detail that the main character was trying to win a tape with hundred of boxes. That lends some lore to his possible identity

[@crystalgemgirl731]

He must be DESPERATE for that money.

[@jobreau1725]

But if his looking for his brother wouldn’t he just go to the place? Since he’s not here for the money he doesn’t need to win the contest.

[@Adelicousbottleosyrup]

I just realized that the reason why most of the stuff is closed off and heads to the lobby instead of parkour places is because they never expected anyone to get past safety training, OR learn to do the switches before they bring out Frankie

[@g5girl]

There’s also another thing worth noting, on the live stream, one person says “I know you can hear me where is my brother?”

[@Bowtiewashere]

One thing, I don’t think other Frankie is trying to save you at the end. It looks like he pulls the door shut so you can’t get out, plus the whiteboard said they would kill you in the Hex room.

[@Bingoidd]

there isnt even anything that shows evil franky is there, hell im pretty sure he was down the final area for a while

[@crystalgemgirl731]

That's exactly what he's doing. I have NO idea where SHB got the idea he was trying to help.🤦🏻‍♀️

[@AllPunandGames]

THANK YOU!!! I thought I was going crazy

[@miss_crowfoot]

My theory is that it is the fourth contestant - On the whiteboard, there is literally nothing about them and the contestant actually leaves the starting room the opposite way than the protagonist - There is NO confirmed death and because he leaves, he COULD be alive. Sure there are mentions of 3 bodies being found, but it's weird it's not on the board and the door he went through definitelly shut down. The thing that contradicts this is basically the whole speach of Other Frankie. Like... Why would he praise someone who just left? That's not a description for a star who just raised the ratings. Either way. Both versions - our protagonist somewhat surviving and the 4th contestant being the one claiming the reward - are with some huge plotholes that should be covered for clarification. I just hope it gets explain in a sequel, if there will be any.

[@BiboxXD-v4s]

he wasnt attacked, he closed the door himself because thats the point where we are suppose to die

[@Snowymae]

The news report stated that they found 3 of the four contestants, but the whiteboard in the control room didn’t show contestant #4 as having even arrived. I wonder what the explanation is, not to mention that our contestant has spent thousands of dollars trying to get an invitation to play. So many questions that need answers

[@Bingoidd]

im like 90% sure we saw 3 others at the start, so im pretty sure they just assumed that atleast 1 person wouldnt accept or the tape wouldnt be found it time

[@chrishunter9623]

In the start of the game you can see the fourth one discreetly leaving back towards the door we came out of after putting on the costume. So all four were there, their death probably weren't seen on camera like the other two were as I'm guessing there wasn't a camera before that door and Frankie probably caught them before they could leave. That's my theory anyway

[@8onnie8oyz]

​@chrishunter9623 It really doesn't make sense. If I had to guess, Frankie just tore down the door while the poor guy tried to escape.

[@andresibarra3473]

i dont know it said arrived then a red cross wich must mean dead but he didn't even said arrived so was there an impostor cuz there were 4 people running

Fnaf gave us one deranged rabbit man at the beginning, this hame gave us not just a deranged rabbit man but also a calculative and honest rabbit man.

Hey SuperHorrorBro, you missed something. When we first meet Frankie when he killed a cheater at the beginning of the game, the 4th contestant on your left went through the door behind you and left. We don’t know if that at the end of actual us or the 4th contestant but they did say on the radio that they found three dead bodies.

Question: Is it illegal? Yeah illegal to OUR WORLD, is this a different type of world where murder games are legal? This is streamed, and they don’t exactly hide people ARE dying. The only evidence of contradiction to this is mentioning a family friendly rating. Other Frankie readily admitted the people died and that Frankie murdered them. Yes police mentioned bodies and someone trapped, but they didn’t explicitly say illegal I think. This would shed light on the world they inhabit.

[@Yami-mugoni613]

They said they do black web streaming if I’m remembering correctly. The people would mention the dead if that isn’t related to a crime

[@averagegamecritic]

@ Didn’t realize that. Could say they found dead and another is inside. It’s an interesting perspective as it’s pretty overt for being advertised ala cereals

[@solleehasnolife4780]

I think the tapes and the game show are some kind of secret. Like originally, the show was just a dark web secret to generate more income, and the trampoline park was cleaned out after these incidents which is why they’d need the enormous incinerator. However as the company fell on hard times, they couldn’t afford to operate the park anymore. Staff stopped coming to clean this up, which is also why the park seems to have areas that look totally abandoned and dysfunctional. Like Henry Hotline

[@averagegamecritic]

@ but cereal boxes. If it was online only sure. But they’re in cereal boxes which definitely indicates legitimacy.

There was a thing you probably didn’t see, that there was a fourth picture frame on the wall, that probably meant that frankly there was another character in the show.

I think the animatronic was rigged to die like that, basically like a literal version of when peple say smt like 'god, this headache's so bad it feels like my head's about to blow up'. I'm sticking with believing the animatronics are only being that. *animatronics.* who are voiced by actual humans and the 'it hurts' bit isn't actually because Henry's a human and has a headache as rather as part of the script

[@Eternal7288]

2 Things: 1. Other Frankie doesn't get attacked, he pretends to reach for you but then closes the hatch instead. 2. I'm fairly certain the contestant at the end isn't the one we were playing has for two reason. One, if you look back or stay at the beginning when Frankie's killing the other contestants, you'll notice the contestant to your left doesn't end up getting killed, rather they back up into the previous room where the suit was before the doors close again. And second, as the contestant walks into the security room, there's an explosion to the left, likely indicating the noob noobs falling into the incinerator along with the main contestant and Frankie, that would be too short of time for the player contestant to make it from the incinerator back to the security room.

[@Internetgoblin.__]

I don’t think the player character survives-the fourth contestant can be seen backing out of the room and hiding when Frankie attacks in the opening section of the game, and contestant 4 on the whiteboard doesn’t have a fate written down when you get to the office with the other Frankie. The whiteboard also specifically mentions that the plan is to kill you in the hexagon room. I’m pretty sure the intended interpretation of the ending is that the player character gets incinerated and the fourth contestant is the one who talks to the other Frankie at the end of the game.

[@benh3518]

Nah, the incinerator room is the same as the one you go through earlier in the game, meaning it has the grind rails. Easily plausible that you land on a grind rail and simply slide to safety - especially since the monitor room is just down the hall from said incinerator which explains how quickly they show up.

part of me wants to imagine there were previous frankies before the two we have (aka good frankie and the monster frankie) since I noticed there are some frankie arms that are poking out of the incinerator pit, either: A) possible good frankies being destroyed by monster frankie B) possibly monster frankies that end up being destroyed similarly to how the end game happened possibly hinting others have made it to the top before and defeated frankie after all the higher ups behind this show, were willing to take out Henry hotline possibly either for no longer being any use to them or because they said too much to the player character.

[@kraieeng]

another thing that could help this theory out is that the room that we see at the very end of the game with the graph, is completely littered with dead bodies. this could imply that lots of contestants have actually won before, but the other frankie always killed them at the end.

[@Locketlover]

1:35 I just thought about something…is that Caine?

[@prehistoricprofessional]

No caine is voiced by alex rochon and the announcer is voiced by Seamus Bryner hope this helps

[@wsgimfloof]

the announcer is other frankie

[@Locketlover]

@@prehistoricprofessional ohhhh thank you for clearing that up. There's just times they sound very similar so I wasn't sure

[@Locketlover]

@@wsgimfloof really? whoa! that crazy! it's like that's the only reasonable explanation

[@wsgimfloof]

@@Locketlover hey smartass, word your sentences better next time. the way you worded it, you are literally asking if the announcer is caine.

[@bella_daze3092]

20:03 the newspaper clipping was actually something I didn’t know about ._. That’s new. And really interesting. I don’t think that most know what they’re getting into when it comes to the game show until it’s too late

[@Bowtiewashere]

Ohhh thats actually interesting... The player contestant seemed to buy many cereals which of course sees that the player is somewhat greedy or obsessed trying to learn 11/1/24

[@GizmoGuy57015]

I guess you can say that frankie is a Cereal Killer! I will not apologize for this pun.

This is literally just “what if fall guys was a horror game” and you can’t tell me otherwise

[@graythepokemonartist6427]

I was waiting for this Story Explained there is so much lore to uncover

[@Cherri_flavor]

I honestly feel bad for Henry, he just wanted to survive and do his job. He's actually pretty nice once you realize he didnt really wanna attack you, he just wanted to survive. He could've just not given you your device back, but he did. Because he wanted to, because he wasn't evil to begin with. He just wants the ringing to stop and to survive. But in the end, his attempts at survival meant nothing.

[@WolfsGesang93]

I just wanted to thank you real quick. It feels like you always put so much time and effort into these kind of videos and I honestly love watching them! Thank you so much for all the effort in all of your videos ❤

[@ayanitemarifrancisco9333]

nah the real thing we need an explenation for... is WHO THE HELL WRITES LIKE THAT?! 0:40...like... HOW???

[@ZimVader-0017]

Not even holding the marker correctly 😂

[@Chiller07]

Its T-600 working as a factory worker

[@tortilla-are-yummy]

3:13 he actually doesnt kill all 3 if you turn around you see the last guy walk back into the starting room and close the door

[@spiketheanimatronic1838]

didn't save them they still found three body's in the warehouse

[@Fedora_Hat64]

Another amazing horror games explained this makes it so easier to follow a story, because I’m scared scared of horror games. It’s easier to watch you explain them.

[@AcrizCaazi]

15:33 He wasn’t attacked and he’s not saving you, only pretending for a moment before closing the door on you himself. That’s his hand shooting over to lock you in the Hex room, the same area it was decided you’d finally die in. Except you survive.

[@wafagdplqs4421]

I really loved this game ! It's just so fun and full of personality.

[@Smelly_boots13]

You know its a good day when mike posts a story explained vid. Happy Halloween!

[@jaymcnally461]

That’s is one interesting history for finding Frankie

[@Caper_The_Cat]

Another banger video! Thank you, i barely understand the lore 😭🙏

[@Jynxxx5]

As much as the game is kinda confusing and weird at some points I appreciate the dedication to the game! I hope the developers can use the criticisms to make something even better in the future! Maybe a prequel to Finding Frankie? 🤔

[@The_Milkkk]

Honestly the idea that they're normal people doing this is more terrifying. They're people who are humans killing other humans

[@ryancorriveau1339]

So excited for the Amanda the adventure 2 story explained

[@PikachuGirlKai]

Def Enjoyed this story explained video Mike!! Happy Halloween to you dude!! :D

[@bella_daze3092]

I really enjoyed Finding Frankie. There are questions I do want answers to, and I know the story is told with its environment. And I really hoped to explore more.❤❤❤ The setting itself is really interesting and I do hope we get more.

[@funnygaming92yt]

I’m surprised I thought it was gonna be another garten of banban but it’s really well made

[@VonKellcsiis]

I've never gotten to a mike video this early! And right when I needed something to watch! 😎

[@DaCarriSmith]

Honestly I think for the next game they need to explore there lore, add new characters, news jump scares from old characters, have the game to be longer, and they need to make it a multiplayer game.

[@noahlynch7913]

Didn’t see this coming! Thanks for making it.

[@nightfyrestudios]

It's nice to see you doing more horror explained series episodes again, since it is for me more fun to watch your episodes then actually play the game.

[@yeanofullname4283]

A theory that I have is that the contestant we see at the end isn't the player. It's the mysterious fourth contestant. Here's why: On the whiteboard, is says that all the contestants had received a tape but only one hadn't actually arrived, which is player 4. In the beginning, it looked like there were only two other contestants actually there, being contestant 1 and 2 who both died to Frankie (Which it states on the whiteboard). So that means whoever was contestant 4 arrived late. And since no one actually told the company player four actually arrived, they went through the whole course without being scared or attacked. So, they realize this error when the player finds Frankie and it probably like "Hey, I arrived late, is that cool?" or something like that. Since the actual winner died and all the contestants look the same, Frankie disguises player four as us, making them the winner. The only consistency error that I could find is who are the three dead bodies the police find? Then I remembered, oh yeah, the place is LITTERED with dead bodies. There was probably one left over from the last game in the lobby that the police thought was one of the current players. So, yeah, that's my theory.

[@NURE0THELIVINGTOON]

Yoo that's actually kinda smart no really smart, you know your a Genius!

[@Nem_zapat]

The way I see it, the report about finding three dead bodies is that the player is the one at the end, because after we escape Frankie the first time the doors behind us close and mostly all the doors at the beginning are locked and that imply that the police haven’t been able to make it further than the lobby and tutorial area. On the point of the fourth contestant escaping at the beginning, it’s shown that evil Frankie is clearly able to pull open the shuttle doors with ease and knowing about the cheating from the large going up parkour room shows that because the fourth contestant cheated, Frankie had killed them, showing as how he would’ve easily seen him leave through the door, and that backs up the police report about finding three bodies, otherwise they would’ve reported alarmingly on all the bodies. That’s my 2 cents.

[@Luigi-jr1ji]

This game brings me back to a time where the Zombie Fall Guys styled game was all the rage, good times.

[@legoqueenleah3080]

I THINK I HAVE A THEROY ABOUT THIS LORE. I THINK THAT MAYBE A FOURTH CHARACTER OF THE FINDING FRANKIE GAME WILL BE THE MAIN MASTER MIND OF THE PARKOR PALACE IN THE NEXT FINDING FRANKIE 2 Game. And Maybe the Player will meet them someday and even the real Deputy Duck and I think the evil Frankie will return but in a broken state.

[@Jynxxx5]

I know that the game officially has a ton of seasons, but I’d like to think it was once a normal play place for kids but someone either snapped or discovered the dark web

[@TeenGirl_Cloud777]

When I don’t understand video games or video game lore I always go to super horror bro Mike, I’m glad to have subscribed

[@thedraftingax5963]

Perfect timing to upload this on Halloween and the last day of the spooky month! Happy Halloween, Mike! 🍭🍬👻🎃💀👹😈🍫

[@MIDnightDrive-BenH]

I don’t think evil Frankie attacks other Frankie before Hexa Havoc, I think other Frankie just abandons us, closes door, and has evil Frankie attack us

[@Yossiboi]

Frankie Found

[@PleaseBringTide]

I think it's neat that we don't get a big focus on the lore, and what lore we do get is all optional. The opening cutscene is really all we need, the protagonist needs money and decides to do everything they can to get on this show (probably learning about it through the show runners who look for specific guests) and ends up doing better than predicted. I'm hoping we'll have to face them in the second game like maybe beat their times

[@killcycle0956]

I’m pretty sure at the end there the “real Frankie” slams a door shut to keep you in Hexa Havoc

[@ayashinightcore8282]

honestly the most surprising part is the fact other frankie kept his word, seriously thought it was one of those kills you at the end type of games

[@iatetwosandwiches]

thanks mike love ur videos as always

[@keshajoseph9213]

Awesome vid Mike loved the play through and explained vid 😊😊

[@shacharlem4424]

Fun fact, Part of finding Frankie's inspiration was from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "waiting".

[@strangecolouredbird]

You know what I think is funny? The fact that Frankie barely has any lore. It's like Pizza tower- an introduction, a few explanations and absolutely nothing else. It's all just an exuse for the action to kick off, and I think that's absolutely brilliant. It's definitely off for a Mascot Horror, but I like it!

[@mreditrulz]

This is a great vid! Can’t wait for glitched out

[@adrismash]

Fall Guys + Bugs Bunny + mascot horror + Squid Game = Finding Frankie

[@josepbuigues1336]

Happy Halloween SuperHorrorBro!🎃

[@Jack5628]

The complex the game takes place in feels like something you vividly remember dreaming about as a kid except they didn't have a demon running around inside

[@sneakyy7807]

So my personal theory is that the person we see walk in to claim the prize money isn’t our main guy. In the very first scene with the other contestents we see that 2 die but the third one actually leave through the door behind us. We can see that c4 (Contestent 4) isn’t actually dead because of the whiteboard in the room with other frankie, where it states that the real c4 isn’t actually dead, and didn’t even arrive. Which could imply that the c4 we meet is actually part of the crew since he knows to go backwards AND doesn’t get killed off. While it seems implausible that our main guy would survive the fall into the pit, especially if evil frankie doesn’t. It would also make sense with the whiteboard saying that main guy is planned to die at Hexa havoc. So my theory is that the fourth guy in the main entrance is the winner at the end and not the guy we play as.

[@Saint_kin]

It would make me so mad if that was actually the canon

[@sneakyy7807]

@ Ahhah i get it, i personally do like it since it will piss me off if the main guy somehow survives the fall into the fire furnace pit xd

[@liliespetals19]

If the 4th contestant never showed and the one we see is a temporary stand in - why did they report 3 bodies, looking for 1 possibly remaining alive? 🤔

[@MrMutebe]

@@liliespetals19 Every single thing shown to the contestant seems to have been staged. Just because the 'good' frankie turned off the radio doesn't mean that it was a real source, after all that very room was literally in the path of the contestant and was meant to be found.

[@sneakyy7807]

@@liliespetals19​​⁠​​⁠​⁠True, but that could be explained away by the 4*57-1 dead bodies that should be present in the facility and the police only finding 3 random ones at the entrance or in the dumpster or wherever, and then assuming that those are just the 3 out of 4 contestants. It is just weird that 4 people show up when only 3 are accounted for by the other frankie on the whiteboard. I find it more implausible that a random normal guy can survive that fall especially since we know everyone present, wants him dead there. Than an evil cooperation would rig it in their own favor by having someone survive on their side and then take the place of the winner in the end. That way the main guy would still be providing them with real and authentic content rather than fake and scripted stuff. It could also just be a random fourth contestant that ended up being an absolute 5head.. Plus the speech in the end isn’t really specific to our main guy. It would have convinced me that it was our main guy if the apartment shown at the end, was full of cereal boxes like we see it being in the opening scene.

[@alejandragutierrez6889]

Finding Frankie, reminds of/is basically a combination of Squid games, Wipeout, Fnaf, (for those who don’t know what I mean) Squid games: Last one who lives through all of the courses, wins A whole lot of money and is free to go. Wipeout:….its an obstacle course, so the second you fail it or if you’re out of bounce, you’re out/dead. And Fnaf: hence it has killer animatronics tryna murder you…man has to survive so much obstacles and try not to fall off or he’s executed by a bunch of killer robots, and has to make to to the end to earn money because he is living with bad debts…seems cool though

[@isaacanguiano8267]

Happy Halloween, Mike!

[@Mythicweirdo]

Honestly I love what this game is doing, the idea that instead of the animatronics being possessed or just alive they’re actually being controlled by psychos and they’re also making it seem real with the Henry hotline death and everything other franky says. Thats more terrifying in my opinion
