FNAF 3 end of night minigames timeline placement

I can prove with evidence that they're not after FNAF 1.



Firstly, let's look at the minigames themselves:



The restaurant is clearly in a state of disrepair, ergo it is not open for business at all. Can't take place between FNAF 1 and when they close down supposedly a few weeks later.



Purple Man attacks the animatronics FROM the safe room. He's hiding in there and striking at them from where they can't see him coming. This will be important later on, so remember it.



FNAF 3 Night 1 Phone Call



Listen to the phone call and the way Phone Dude talks about the safe room and the state of the horror attraction.



"I honestly thought we would have more by now."



"We're trying to track down a good lead right now."



"Some guy who helped design one of the buildings says, like, that there was an extra room that got boarded up..."



This guy is uncertain about a lot of things



Listen to him. He isn't sure about whether or not they'll have enough by the time they open. In addition, the only info he has about the safe room is stuff that some other guy said. Ergo, he han't seen it for himself, nor has anyone working for him. He isn't 100% sure that what the guy says is true. If he did see it for himself, he wouldn't have phrased it like that. This will also be important later on.





Now, after FNAF 1 ends and the pizzeria closes, it never reopens. Ever. This is where the safe room comes in. If Purple Man broke into the safe room (he would've had to break down the false wall in order to get in), then there would be NOBODY AROUND TO REBUILD THE WALL.



He dies at the end of the minigames, and with no one else disturbing the place until Fazbear's Fright search it for props, the wall WOULD STILL HAVE A GAPING HOLE IN IT. They would've found Springtrap IMMEDIATELY.



Looking around Fazbear's Fright, even on night 1, it's clear that they've already searched this place once. There's props from that location everywhere.



The last time I made a post about this, a lot of people used the following rebuttal:



"Maybe they only searched part of the place? If they searched part of the building but not all of it, they could've missed the safe room entirely."



No, that doesn't work at all. You're clearly grasping, the likelihood of that is ridiculously small considering how desperate they were for props. In addition, I can prove that there's no way they could possibly have missed the gaping hole in the wall.



The animatronic heads were found right outside the safe room



You remember the minigames? Purple Man dismantles the animatronics right outside the safe room. If the minigames really DO take place after FNAF 1, then they would have remained there for 30 years until Fazbear's Fright picked them up.



They were in the attraction, meaning Fazbear's Fright needed to have found them. Considering that in order to have found them, they'd need to be right freaking next to that gaping hole in the wall, only a blind man could've possibly missed it.



Another rebuttal I faced the last time I made a post was this:



"Maybe they found Springtrap when they first sweeped the place and didn't put him in the attraction until after Night 1."



You're suggesting that Springtrap was already obtained by the company before that phone call was made. That's not possible. As earlier discussed, Phone Dude isn't certain about the company's future, and everything he says about the safe room is preceeded by "this other guy said." Phone Dude doesn't know for sure about the safe room's existence nor has he found anything that could save the company yet.



^All this points to Springtrap not being found by the company until after the phone call.



To summarise:



Purple Man caused gaping hole in wall to safe room, safe room not hidden anymore.

In addition, all FNAF 1 animatronic heads (minus GF) are outside the safe room on the floor.



Assuming after FNAF 1, these would have been left EXACTLY as they are until Fazbear's fright discovered them.



Also assuming after FNAF 1, Fazbear's fright discovered the heads before Night 1, yet completely freaking missed the safe room that, as discussed a few lines ago, would not have been hidden at all.



They do not find Springtrap until after Night 1.



Assuming before FNAF 1, the hole in the wall and the heads would've been repaired by the company and the Fazbear's Fright crew missing Springtrap the first time they swept the building would be completely understandable.



Therefor, I must conclude that these minigames do not take place after FNAF 1.
