How Pizzeria Simulator Works: Full Game Breakdown

How Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator works is difficult to figure out, even once you've beaten the game. It's also my favourite game from the Clickteam series, so I just had to make this video!
I hope this video will serve as a helpful resource for anyone looking to learn how FFPS works and a huge thanks to Folmic and others for giving me feedback; I appreciate it a ton ♥

If you're wondering if the game functioned any differently in older versions, it did! Check out the changelog here: docs.google.com/document/d/1g...
FAQ:
Q: What's the optimal strategy for the office section?
A: Honestly, I don't know. All I can do is give you my strategy, which definitely isn't the best.
What I do is start with the Motion Detector, place an audio lure at the far middle where the most of them are, and start doing the Advertising tasks. Once I hear any vent noises, I quickly turn on Silent Ventilation, turn to the source of the noise, and turn everything off. I then turn to the opposite vent every 4 seconds until there aren't any noises in a bit.
Once I'm satisfied that there are no animatronics near me, I turn the computer back on and repeat.
Also, honestly, don't be scared of having your temperature go up into the 100 or 110+ range, having the fan on when in danger is really bad (quintuples the chances you'll get caught by an animatronic behind you).
Q: How does the Fruit Punch/Lemonade Clown work?
A: I didn't break down how the minigames work in this video (for obvious reasons), but I can quickly explain this one.
At the start of the game, each child chooses a direction to start moving. That child will continue facing that direction until they get near the edge of the screen, at which point they turn in the opposite direction. Every second, every child chooses one of three speeds to move: stationary, 10 pixels/second, or 20 pixels/second. Once you press the spacebar to surprise the kids, it will count how many kids were touching the range circle, and give you the jackpot if you got all 9.
Q: Is there any cheap way to get El Chip?
A: Unfortunately, no. Your only hope would be getting a good mark-down, though that's just luck. I would recommend doing the first three achievements. They reward a substantial amount of money, far exceeding the cost.
Q: How do you get the Insanity Ending on console/mobile?
A: I can't say I've personally tested these methods, but others have said they work.
On console, you need to:
- turn off the PC
- spam both the right joystick and the monitor on button
On mobile, you need to:
- turn off the PC
- hold down on the blue bottom left power button
- let go of the power button and very quickly turn the PC on (you might not need to let go)
Q: Is FFPS, FNaF6?
A: Yeah, it sure seems so.

I must thank you, I had never even played a Fnaf game before I saw your guide, so I booted up the first game after the first video and beat it all first try, then used your 4/20 strategy, did it again. I sadly don’t own a good pair of headphones so I decided I should probably skip the 4th game. Yet for this I think I’m definitely going to play this game and hopefully beat it so I can see that badass end of the main Scott cawthon series.

[@DrHundTF2]

Alive or dead? Schrödingertrap

[@EndertheDragon0922]

Yeah that was horrifying to me (in a good way). I had assumed his body was dead and he was possessing his own corpse/suit. But this implies that his body still lives despite the odds… does he still feel it? If his heart works, then do his nerves still transmit pain as well? Can he feel the grinding of metal against his flesh after all this time? Can he feel the scorching of the flames? Is it just as agonizing as when he died and he just got used to it? Maybe (from an in-game perspective) he didn’t talk in FNaF 3 because he wasn’t used to it yet. Maybe the pain was so horrible he was rendered completely unable to speak. If that’s the case, if his body still functions despite it all, that is truly a fate worse than death.

[@staticradio724]

Yeah, I was also thinking about how appropriate it was that Scraptrap was the one with the heartbeat sound

[@ivon1671]

​@@EndertheDragon0922the nature of his survival is definitely paranormal, so maybe it's fitting to say that he's possesing his own corpse. But that corpse still works, and it's painful. In The Fourth Closet he claims that every movement brings him unimaginable pain, and not moving is even worse. The pain makes him unable to sleep. I'm sure he also feels hunger and thirst, but he never dies from it. It's a horrible existence.

[@PointsofData]

@TurnipTheBee I was about to say...salvage sections are filler. You're tricked into thinking there's more because of the instructions, but it's the depth of a puddle. You can pass every single one with the same mind numbing strategy. The paper and noises are just there to distract you and give the robot a chance to move vaguely.

[@Flygoniaks]

Some random insights I've gained from this that I find interesting/amusing: -Possibly due to a programming error or two, the vents to the right side of your office are _very slightly_ more dangerous than those to the left side. -There may have been plans for a fifth animatronic in this game, but if there were, then it was cut VERY early on in development. -The optimal times to taze an animatronic is when it enters its third "stage" visually (if you're playing it safe), or when you start hearing its ambient audio (if you want to be risky). -The fact that the salvage sequences are codenamed "interrogation" in the game files may indicate that at some point, it was considered to have more dialogue in these parts. -The game is considerate and will not allow you to buy items that you literally cannot use with the current state of your Pizzeria. -There's a surprising amount of RNG in this game, even _outside_ the usual FNAF gameplay. But that makes sense as running a business involves a lot of risk management!

[@FrostDirt]

The RNG is due to Scott not wanting people to cheese the game with "optimal mechanics" like the original 4 games.

[@Flygoniaks]

@@FrostDirt Maybe, though you could also argue that the extra RNG was to add a little more replay value, since you'll be playing through multiple times if you want all the endings.

[@nathanbrownlee9276]

I always felt that Pizzeria Simulator was the weirdest of the old FNAF games when it comes to actual gameplay. The animatronics in most FNAF games usually have a particular behavior or mechanic associated with them. This is the only game where all of the animatronics act the same way and I think that’s genuinely a shame because the Salvage sections are such a cool way to introduce animatronics yet completing them doesn’t really change the office gameplay much.

[@GaiaX5]

Not to mention the Loremaster and Insanity certificates. Two things the player isn't really meant to see, explaining the weirdness. The tycoon segment is a glimpse to the chain's morbid history. During the day it's just your seemingly normal pizzaria. At night the salvaged anamatronics start hunting you down, with Lefty being the one in perfect condition compared to the others, who are worse for wear. Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, and Scraptrap are salvaged anamatronics from the previous entries: FNAF2, FNAF3, and Sister Location, respectively. As in: This feels like one big middle finger to MatPat in a friendly rivalry.

[@SpicyMapping]

i appreciate you putting the ad break just after the phrase "you can't get any ads", gave me a good chuckle

[@colekiesler6218]

Honestly we should all still agree that FFPS will and always will be the official true end of FNAF no matter what especially after with Security Breach. And while it did have its flaws it still definitely helped wrapped things up pretty well from William’s victims finally being set free, to Micheal Afton being forgiven, and most importantly William Afton himself getting schooled hard. Despite that though I still think the whole salvaging animatronics and building your own pizzeria is still a cool idea that Scott Cawthon could do by creating something pretty new and engaging for the fans.

[@lpfan4491]

Fnaf went downhill after 3 tbh. The only reason I personally agree with keeping the entire original saga together is because UCN is a masterful ending, not nescessarily FFPS. Though yeah, the real mess only started afterwards.

Aside from that I am also interested in how ads work. Is it a % chance that activates whenever you look at the PC? A fifth antagonist with its own movement opportunities? Unless I missed something, you only really talked about office gameplay ads when discussing the loudness meter.

[@itztaken]

@@shyguymike The Freddy Files/Ultimate Guide are just bullshitting with the Ballpit and Nedd Bear stuff, sneaking in is just based on RISK as described at 20:00. How the ads functioned was explained at 9:42

[@shyguymike]

​@@itztakenAhh, must have misunderstood them the first time around. Thank you for explaining!

[@thenacho6354]

How long do you have to flash the light into the vent for the animatronic to retreat? Is there like a timer or do they have a random probability of getting turned away every second? I also wanted to know if "being Heard" has a radius around it or if it's just a mechanic present only when the animatronic are right next to you. Thanks again for this video, it cleared out so many things about this game

[@Tab1nat0r]

And to think this game took several years to be finally understood gameplay wise

[@coconutcute712]

I don’t know why I watched this. I’ve never played a fnaf game and I honestly don’t care about them anymore. I have to go to sleep and be at work in like six hours. Why am I doing this.

[@KStarPR]

This video just doubles down on my belief that this game should give you just a *little* more info during office sections. At least being able to see the animatronics in the vents beside you, moving away when you shine the light down. They don't even need to be that visible, just a bit of a visual indicator would be nice. The lack of animation/visual feedback in the game really bothers me.

[@Dylan781]

When he said you cant get any ads, i got 2 unskipable ads. The timing

[@Itsmbp2394]

"As a consolation, you can't get any ads" *ad on yt immediately plays* Well done, man. Well done.

[@wolfgaang]

thank you for making a video like this, mechanical breakdowns are fascinating to learn about... and thank you for explaining salvage; for years it has been making me crazy that nobody except one person i watched was able to pick up on the individual audio cues.

[@arabidllama]

I love videos like this, because tuning these kind of systems can be tricky and nuanced, and it's *so* hard to tell how things actually work without doing research like yours. Thanks!

[@voidsabre_]

These mechanical breakdowns have been absolutely awesome. I think it would be really cool to see similar breakdowns for some of the earlier games too, though I know they're a lot less complex

[@_sleepyaisha_]

"As a consolation, you can't get any ads--" and then it cuts away to an ad for me. Wonderful timing.

[@peeblekitty5780]

I'm not even a minute into this video but I gotta leave a little appreciation comment for reducing the jumpscare volume and providing CC for this whole thing :) epic man thanks

[@BLLACKSTTAR]

I noticed Lefty also is only looking directly at you in his last stage. His first two stages he is looking up with half his pupil concealed.

[@jocosojoaco]

Oh wow, this is exactly my type of content. Precise numerical data/information of the "behind the scenes" in videogames. Plus, this video was extremely well done. Fascinating.

[@stevenxp23]

thanks for the full explanation of basically everything! i’m glad to see people finding and explaining all the stuff this game’s got to offer!

[@3rdJan]

Dude this video was so good! Well articulated explanations at a good and steady pace with just enough jokes in-between, clear voice and pronounciation, super helpful visual editing to make it easily understandable, you put in all the audio queues and made them stand out... Usually I'm quick to quit explain-heavy videos after a bit but yours can keep up with Scruffy. Great work!!

[@TheBadDeadFox]

Nice and detailed video per usual, it's nice seeing you getting the recognition you deserve!

[@GameBoy-hd2eg]

I just finished your other fnaf videos twice and tech rules videos so this was perfect timing my guy. Love it.

[@greyhayc9264]

I'm guessing the "Ad Monster" was prolly another way to get one of the main animatronics before Scott changed it, but part of me thinks it was meant to be golden freddy before UCN was added to the storyline.

[@BUckENbooz]

I love all the FNAF games. But they always been those type of games you'd play beat and move on. This is my top favorite FNAF game ever since it came out. Dunno if it still is but then it was even FREE. It released out of no where. I just love the simulator aspect of it. I found myself constantly trying to restart to get more money. I gotta admit too, I still suck at the night mode! With just two animatronics on the loose I keep dying xD. I think I just try going to fast.

[@Robodorisen]

it is free

[@Mr._Tru3]

Brilliant video. I’m glad someone finally has explained the inner workings of FNaF 6. There were even some things here that surprised me a bit

[@bigboicarson]

Dude, you’re so good at explaining things.

[@lokisurfergaming]

silent ventalation is such a slept on mechanic because it makes the tempreature useless

[@YourGuySmallFry]

This was extremely professional and informative! You NEED to make a series out of this where you cover each fnaf game, it would be a great resource!

[@Matthew_Brink]

I just found this channel and it’s great. I’ve always wondered how the fnaf games work and you explain it perfectly without it being boring

[@kylele23]

This is an awesome breakdown, the sim stuff was way more than I thought and a lot of the vent makes sense now.

[@ioverexcitedninja4281]

I just found this channel and I'm already impressed by the effort put into making this video, well done!

[@koki-1700]

Thank you so so so much for the salvage explanation! You just saved me from like 3 salvage failures today. They still skipped movement phases so that was dangerous enough but knowing about the 4th tape and the visual clues were a huge help. 👍💙 Edit: i also didnt know that you dont need candy cadette's stories for lorekeeper, truly a timesaver.

[@Impossible_Fishy]

I love these mechanics explanation videos, I’ve rewatched all of the mechanic videos multiple times

[@Nikkkkkkkkkkk]

Excited to watch this! Your videos are always so informative and high quality.

[@calalyoko]

I appreciate someone finally taking the time to demystify this game. It's always cool to see how things work behind the scenes

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

It's interesting to see how games work, because even if they seem straight forward, the code is always way more complicated than expected.

[@1987nightrap]

I love complex explanations of fnaf games, as a newcomer to coding, its nice to just have an explanation for games i love.

[@GeneralBro6]

Let's goo another video explaining another fnaf game I recently started playing Fnaf 6 so this video was perfect timing. Your videos are amazing keep it up!

[@heartofthewild680]

I wish there was a mod that would add visual cues to each noise. I can’t hear a lot of the noises (the vent noises in particular), so if I ever tried to play this game myself, any success I had would probably be purely luck-based.

[@FoxyTheGamer87]

Dude, just thank you so much! I was really excited when FFPS came out on my phone (because I don't have a PC) and I got really into the game. And I am very glad that there are people who can give non-fake information. Great job and thanks again!

[@S3BASTIAN05]

ur honestly one of the best fnaf content creators on this platform, u make ai breakdowns of each animatronic with detail

[@MerrStudio]

Thank you so much for this video, I'll watch it ASAP, can't wait ❤

[@shopnil4]

This was a great video. I've always been curious how this game worked cause I've never seen much talk of how it works

[@iheartmarkipliergame]

This is such a helpful breakdown, I really like the attention to detail in every aspect of the game! Half of these, I think I would’ve never noticed

[@Skemati]

This explains so much for me thank you. When playing Pizzeria sim, I never truly understood the AI of the animatronic and was just relying on a certain strategy which I don't understand how it works, I just know that it works. Basically I first I play an audio on either of the sides in the middle box closest to the big square in the middle, After that I go do a task and face the opposite vent of where the audio is and when I hear the task has finished I turn back to the computer and click on a new task and face back. If I hear a noise in the current vent I'm currently staring at, I turn off the fan and stare and wait until there's no more noise, which then I turn back the fan on and do task. If I hear a noise in the opposite vent I'm currently staring at, I turn both the pc and fan off, if a task is processing I turn the fan off first and then the pc once the task has finished. I then look at each vent at least 4-5 seconds 2-3 times each and once then I turn the pc and the fan back on and repeat. This seriously clears up some confusion, my main one being as to why having both the fan and the pc off was so gosh darn effective when using the light. Also answering my question to, if the characters talked, does that mean their near you or just for ambience? Now I know. Although, if you do happen to be reading this, I still have one more question. Do you need the fan off in order for the flashlight repel to work? I had always believed that it only works if you have the fan off and useless if you have the fan on.

[@itztaken]

For the extra-strong flashlight mechanic, everything has to be off.

[@Skemati]

@@itztaken No, I know that. What I'm asking is, do you need to have the fan off for the normal flashlight repel to work and won't work at all if you don't have the fan off? All of this while the Pc is on.

[@itztaken]

@@Skemati The fan just causes extra noise

[@Skemati]

@@itztaken Okidoki, thank you

[@vaquest]

Incredible video! Hope this ends most of the confusion surrounding this game and it's mechanics

[@alixinitalics]

thank you so much for the closed captionss! most youtubers don't bother with the effort, but it's so helpful!

[@rockstarherospirit]

Great video!!! I love this game but I didn't understand exactly how it all worked down to the numbers, so this breakdown was fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

[@fluffcake]

Cool vid! Definitely shows the inner workings of this place in a digestible way :3

[@LifetimeDisaster]

This is great. I'd love to see an explanation video on FNAF 2 or FNAF 3, since those games are barely talked about and it's hard to find any information on them.

[@Rotomoo]

this was an amazing video. I never see videos about the intricacy of HOW the game works, keep it up!

[@MissOnana]

Aw man, I'm so glad the algorithm served this up for me. I've been craving this kind of video on FNAF ever since I saw Tech Rules video dissecting the AI of the animatronics in FNAF 1. But either because those vids weren't common/popular or because I didn't look hard enough, I wasn't able to find any till now. SUPER interesting stuff. Thanks for the vid!

[@OfficialHaiko]

Having made closed captioning is very helpful for me, very informative and interesting video will definitely subscribe and support in future. 💚

[@wolfcl0ck]

Nicely done! I sometimes wonder what it would be like to decomp the classic fnaf games and fix their errors. Stuff like the easter egg animatronics in fnaf 2 which are supposed to disappear after a second and the like.

[@_trashvis_]

it's really nice to see a breakdown of my favorite fnaf! awesome video

[@buttercupjude135]

the unique sound effects in salvage are so cool! thanks for showing us

[@leawilson5630]

As someone who was always interested in FNAF 6’s AI, I always wanted this kind of video to exist and now it finally does! You’ve already earned a subscriber and I haven’t even watched yet!

[@deviltheferal892]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm giving you a like based on the info in the intro: You made this video fully accessible for disabled audiences! I have a hearing disability that forces me to keep most of the media I watch at a very low volume, and jumpscares can be really bad, so to know that there is both CC and volume adjustments on the typically loud parts is awesome! Great job at being inclusive to a wide audience without pandering

[@FrostDirt]

I'm not disabled but subtitles are a good addition of clarity

[@Gaaylord69]

Thank you for letting me know of the subtitles at the start!! I have some brain issues that cause my comprehension of spoken words to be a lot tougher when I don’t have a visual guide (subtitles) and I’m glad I get to appreciate this video as a whole!

[@Justanotherpokespepfp]

“You can’t get any ads” *Gets an ad* THIS HAS TO BE ON PURPOSE

[@woo.yeah.]

haven't watched yet but liked. subscribed. sent to all of my friends. emailed this to my boss.

[@RedstoneQwerty]

“But if it's any consolation you can't get any ads..." *immediate KZbin ad break* Love it lmao

[@sourapplepg3d948]

Your editing is on point. Well done!
