When did Fred Bear's Family Diner open? I have a theory.

Scott, if you're reading this... only you can say.

A big thanks to MatPat from The Game Theorists for helping calculate the minimum wage and possible dates.

So, just how old is Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria? When was the original Fred Bear's Family Diner?

In FNAF 2, the exact minimum wage for 30 hours in 5 days, you got paid $100.50. The paycheque was dated for 1987, which matches the minimum wage range for that particular year.

In FNAF 1, whilst the date was "19XX," the minimum wage range was assumed to be around 1992.

Now, remember what the phone guy said in FNAF 1 on Night 1?

"The animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I was forced to sing those same stupid songs for 20 years and I never got a bath..."

Wait... 20 years?

So if these characters have been around for 20 years, assuming that the date in FNAF 1 is somewhere in 1992, then that means...

Fred Bear's Family Diner opened for business sometime in 1972.

I am watcher of Mat Pat's videos too and I can say GG that might just work.

We may never truly know the history behind the game, because... well, even Scott doesn't know! He doesn't have this all figured out, he makes stuff up on the fly. He even couldn't explain "Golden Freddy." It just happened. It may very well be that our theories could influence his game-making decisions. Who knows?
