Open SERVICE HATCH B-2 to leave the basement
This is the floor the hatch puts you on. The corridor is the space between the safe room and the rooms where keys spawn, and it is where an animatronic walks into you if you stand still.
Your run begins in an elevator that descends into a basement security room. The elevator doors seal shut behind you, leaving no immediate exit through the elevator shaft. Walk across the room to locate SERVICE HATCH B-2.
Step up to the wheel mechanism and hold E. The on-screen HATCH SEALER gauge fills from 0% toward 100%. Keep holding the key until the meter finishes.
Once the meter hits 100%, the hatch opens and reveals a set of stairs. Walk up the stairs to enter the restaurant floor.
IMPORTANT
The game objective will not change to finding keys or codes while you stay in the basement. You must climb through SERVICE HATCH B-2 to the restaurant level to activate the search phase.
Search containers for the four exit keys
After reaching the restaurant floor, search furniture across dining areas, offices, and utility rooms. Keys hide inside drawers, cabinets, closets, and boxes. Walk directly to each container and interact to open it.
Inspect our guide on where the four keys are to see which container types appear in each room. Each exit key you collect increments your HUD counter from KEYS 0/4 up to KEYS 4/4. Picking up the fourth exit key triggers an immediate objective update to FIND THE REST OF THE CODE.
During your search, you will also pick up named room keys, such as the kitchen key, party room key, manager's office key, and kitchen A key. These items unlock closed doors on the restaurant floor. They do not increase the KEYS x/4 exit counter.
| Key category | Where it appears | Inventory effect | Objective role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exit keys | Drawers, cabinets, closets, boxes | Increments KEYS x/4 on HUD |
Unlocks the elevator search phase at 4/4 |
| Room keys | Shelves, surfaces, side rooms | Stored as named inventory tools | Opens locked doors like kitchen and party room |
Collect the code and call the elevator
Search the rooms for small paper notes pinned to walls and furniture. Each note supplies a single number and specifies its exact position, reading in formats such as the 1st digit is 7.
As you read notes, your HUD CODE display fills in the confirmed digits while leaving blank spaces for missing numbers, such as 7_25. Refer to our breakdown on how the four-digit code works to understand how digits generate and how to test missing positions.
Once you have the full sequence, return down to the B-2 terminal room. Type the four digits into the keypad on the EXIT CONTROL terminal.
Entering the correct code triggers a mechanical sound, and the terminal protective cover drops down. Press the exposed CALL button. The screen announces THE ELEVATOR IS ON ITS WAY, and the elevator returns to the basement floor.
Unlock the chained front doors and exit
Step into the elevator and ride back up to ground level. One recorded run shows the player walking straight to the front doors from there.
In the recorded ending, the double doors upstairs are chained from the inside with a padlock, and the player used the last key on it before pushing the doors open into the parking lot. Treat the padlock as the recorded route out rather than a separate objective the game announces: the badge that proves an escape happened is CLOSING TIME, whose official condition is simply escaping the restaurant in the elevator (156,446 players, 7.4% as of 2026-11-12).
Stuck? Read the HUD before you search again
Every stall on this route shows up somewhere on screen before it shows up in your head. Match the symptom to the check, then take the next step.
| What you see | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| The objective still says nothing about keys | You are still below the restaurant floor | Go back to SERVICE HATCH B-2 and finish the wheel |
KEYS sits at 1/4 or 2/4 after several rooms |
Something was left inside a container, or a locked room is still shut | Open the door keys you already hold, then re-check cabinets and closets |
KEYS 4/4 but the code still has blank positions |
The objective has moved to FIND THE REST OF THE CODE |
Hunt notes, not furniture |
| The keypad accepts the code but nothing happens | The cover has to drop before CALL exists | Look for the CALL button on the terminal face |
What the ending narration confirms
Outside, the narration keeps going: a voice says "Stay for the party", and a closing line runs "The radio has always been I always come back." That is the whole ending the recordings we read actually show.
Two things stay open, and this page does not pretend otherwise. Whether there are alternate endings or extra post-elevator objectives is unconfirmed, and the game's own description says a different night every day, so later patches can change this route. If a video claims a secret ending, check whether it shows objectives the game itself lists before you spend a run chasing it.
The surviving core is the same either way: hatch, four keys, four digits, elevator.
