FAQ — 99 Nights in the Forest

Quick answers drawn from community wikis, player reports, and press coverage to keep your camp informed.

What is 99 Nights in the Forest and what is the goal of the game?

99 Nights in the Forest is a survival-horror experience by Grandma's Favourite Games. You keep the campfire burning, explore the forest, fend off hostile creatures, gather resources, rescue four missing children, and upgrade tools and workbenches to push toward Night 99.

Can you play 99 Nights in the Forest solo or with friends?

The game supports both solo runs and multiplayer sessions. Teaming up lets squads divide jobs such as fueling, scouting, and defending the camp, making the survival loop far more forgiving.

How long does it take to reach Night 99?

Skilled survivors report reaching Night 99 in roughly 1–2 hours when they optimise rescues and camp bonuses, though first-time runs usually take longer while players learn efficient routes.

What are the most important early-game priorities for 99 Nights in the Forest?

Keep the campfire fueled, loot nearby buildings for coal and gasoline, trade a Rabbit's Foot with the Pelt Trader, upgrade the Crafting Bench, secure the Map and Old Bed, and plant trees to ensure renewable wood.

What enemies or threats should I watch for in 99 Nights in the Forest?

Expect deer that alert cultists, the unkillable Owl, organised cultist raids, wolves, bears, and other hostile entities. Balancing defense and resource flow is the key to surviving waves.

What happens if the campfire goes out?

Letting the fire die shrinks your safe zone, limits visibility, and makes nightly assaults harder to avoid. Maintaining flame uptime is the heart of the game's survival loop.

How do rescuing children and beds affect 99 Nights in the Forest gameplay?

Saving the four missing children reduces the total nights needed to reach the goal, while acquiring beds grants day progression bonuses that speed up late-game survival.

The Owl appears around Night 5 and can't be killed. Keep to bright areas, tap it with a flashlight to stun, and avoid provoking it away from strong light sources.

Which tools or upgrades should you prioritise for 99 Nights in the Forest?

Target the Good Axe, Good Sack, Old Flashlight, Map, and Crafting Bench upgrades. These boost fuel gathering, inventory space, navigation, and overall camp resilience.

What are effective long-run survival strategies for 99 Nights in the Forest?

Replant trees to fortify and refuel camp, deploy traps against cultists, ration resources, craft farm plots and biofuel processors, coordinate with teammates, and scout cautiously beyond camp—especially during early nights.
