Game Theory: Did Reddit Just SOLVE FNAF?

Get Yourself Some BRAND NEW Theory Wear! ► bit.ly/3qwx0AW
You may be thinking, "Hey MatPat, don't we already know everything about Crying Child?" No, Theorists, we do NOT and you proved it! "Crying Child" is what we've referred to the victim of the Bite of '83 as since the beginning but that child has a name! A name I have figured out! This is one of the oldest mysteries of the franchise and I am sure that we've cracked it wide open! Theorists, no FNAF mystery will go unsolved as long as I am on the case.

[@limegreenlive7813]

As we speak of Crying Child's real name. I think it's Dave. Wolfier and Godzilla theorized that the bite-victim is named Evan but hte problem with the final answers is "I'm scared". Wolfie had problems with the answer that broke his methodology and Godzilla thinks that the answer matches with page 47, but how is it related? So I decided to give it a shot so the final answer "I'm scared" might match with the question of: "Do you have dreams?". The question is on page 41, so I plug 41 into the foxy grid and I got the letter D. So instead of Evan it now says "Evad". If you flip the name it now says Dave. Dave was also the fake name that William Afton used in the Silver Eyes novel in the fourth closet novel. This would also make sense to William using his dead son's ("Dave Afton's") name, since William falled into madness after his 2 child's deaths and started to kill 5 children to get out of his pain. So in conclusion I think the crying child's name is Dave Afton.

[@tayloranderson7547]

Is Dave Afton.

Now that I'm re-watching this, I started to do a bit of thinking regarding how Godzilla came up with the letter 'N' for the crying child's name. Matt asked "Why tally up the scores based on a book Foxy has" or something along those lines. If Michael is the one making the tallies, wouldn't it make sense to connect him to Foxy because it's his favorite character? He would go around scaring the crying child with a foxy mask on and we've connected that Foxy is his favorite in multiple theories. I don't think it's that far fetched- but maybe that's just me.

[@S0U134T3R_]

DING DING DING

[@moiramoran8149]

What if the tallies are for solving Mike's identity? They are in his red pen after all. For now, I have it in my head that Mike is keeping track of each haunted animatronics at each location. That would explain why there's a random 4 tally mark when the majority of them are 5. The book came out after sister location where there is only 4 major haunted animatronics (Baby, Freddy, Foxy and Ballora) while the other's have had at least 5 (Foxy, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and either the puppet or Golden Freddy). It's not perfect, but it's something.

I wonder if the actual solution to the Foxy grid is to actually draw an 8-bit Foxy and then go from there. I don’t have any idea what you’d do with the letters in the grid after you were done with the drawing. Sure that might seem like a rather simplistic approach, but I also wouldn’t put it past Scott to put the solution right in front of our face, probably expecting that we would look in more of the obscure places for clues. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just a random thought that occurred to me. Also, Evan being the crying child is my personal head canon now. It just sounds right to me.

[@ST3LL4R_D4Z3]

[@manny6265]

I'm pretty sure the reason Cassidy asks crying child if he still remembers his name is because he's been in golden Freddy for so long he must've forgotten his name after so many years its kinda like with gollum in one of the lord of the rings movies when frodo says his name gollum says "yes... that was my name...

Totally random comment and completely off topic but I feel like matpat was giving us his impersonation of pennywise and I thought it was very well performed. Also love watching the fnaf theories. 😅 just thought I'd voice my thought after watching the beginning of this video.

[@gamerlillyanne5011]

My guesses on the crying child’s name could either be Evan, or Christopher Afton. I have a friend named Christopher and everyone calls him CC and the two letters for Crying Child is CC.

[@hydrixs6996]

What if E V A is actually the Crying Child's initials? First Name: E. Mid. Name: V. Last Name: Afton. Edit: The N could be used or not used in this theory. If used, it could be seen as Evan V. Afton, and if not, it can still be E. V. Afton.

YO I see there is a man of big brain inside of this comment section and I wonder what it would be? Ethan Vincent? Valentin? Victor? There are endless options so I guess we can't really speculate about the name without any further evidence or connection to the name.

There seems to be sides of the name argument. Those who says his name is Chris (myself included), and then the side who says his name is Evan. I feel like it's going to continue for ages until it's revealed. Or just never end. Now I'm being dragged to the Evan side. It's fun.
