The Interactive Novel series launched in August 2024 as part of Five Nights at Freddy’s tenth anniversary celebrations. The first entry, VIP, was released for free by Scholastic as a special anniversary item. The series then continued with numbered volumes written by Scott Cawthon alongside co-authors including E.C. Myers and Adrienne Kress.
The books use a choose-your-own-adventure structure, placing readers in scenarios within the FNAF universe and branching based on decisions. Return to the Pit revisits the storyline from the Fazbear Frights short story Into the Pit, while other volumes offer new situations. The format is a departure from both the novel trilogy and the anthology series, giving readers more agency within the story.
The series concluded in April 2025 with Escape the Pizzaplex, bringing the four-book run to a close. The interactive format makes these books a natural fit for younger readers or anyone who wants a shorter, more gamelike experience within the FNAF universe.
