Golden Freddy is a secret animatronic in the 2014 survival horror game, Five Nights at Freddy's. If he kills you, he will crash your game (PC) or freeze it (Android & iOS). If you actually want to summon him and experience his jumpscare, there are some tricks you can try.

Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Using the Golden Freddy Poster

  1. 1
    Start a night. Then open the monitor and go to CAM 2B (West Hall Corner) and flip the monitor up and down until you see a poster of a close-up of Golden Freddy's face.
    • Note that this method does not work on Android devices.
  2. 2
    Close the monitor when you see the poster. You'll see Golden Freddy sitting in front of you.
  3. 3
    Flip up the monitor. If you want him to kill you, just leave him there for a few seconds, but opening the monitor is the only way (besides completing a night) for him to disappear.

Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
Entering a Code 1/9/8/7

  1. 1
    Beat Night 6. You have now unlocked the Custom Night, go into the menu.
  2. 2
    Enter 1/9/8/7 into the AI settings.
  3. 3
    Press "READY." This will cause Golden Freddy's kill screen to appear and, once again, crash/freeze your game.

    How does Freddy turn the lights off?

    Freddy doesn’t turn the lights off. When you lose power, there is a power outage. Freddy then comes and kills you.

    You have to keep making Bon Bon calm him down. If you are restarting the systems, check your danger level.

    He can probably teleport. And he can just pop up as soon as you close the monitor.

    Golden Freddy does not appear in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, but a hallucination of a mysterious suit can (rarely) be seen on the left side of the office.

    You can't summon fan game characters in FNAF. Without mods and a lot of patience, it is not possible.

    Kids got killed in the restaurant, and the ghosts of the kids possessed the robots.

    You can't. If the door is jammed, that means an animatronic is already in your office. You just have to flip up the monitor.

    He cannot be summoned in this game; he has normal gameplay mechanics. He only appears on Night 6, or custom night presets in which he is active. If he appears in the office, put the head on quickly until he goes away. If he appears in the hall, refrain from flashing for a while.

    Golden Freddy will spawn on iOS in the same ways he does on a PC. On Android devices, however, he can only be summoned by entering the code on the custom night.

    Nobody knows. The only way to summon him is to put in 1/9/8/7 on Custom Night.
