Tracking down your Dad is your top priority in Five Night at Freddy’s: Into The Pit. He’s been taken into the past, and you must find a way to bring him back. One of the objectives is for you to enter a locked arcade.

The arcade is locked from the two entrances you can reach when you’re in the past, at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. The only way to get inside the arcade is to track down a key, but you don’t have any leads on where you might find it. Here’s what you need to know about how to get into the arcade in FNAF: Into The Pit.

The trick to tracking down the arcade key is from an item you unlock during the day. You need to use the Sticky Hand you stole from the Principal’s Office while in school. With it, head to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria in the past and make your way to the Party Hallway. This was the same area where you had to lure the bird out of the Kitchen to save the other kid in Into The Pit.

You’ll want to avoid the wandering animatronics as they attempt to find you at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. You can expect to run into at least one while exploring the Dining Area. When you reach the Party Hallway, make your way to the right of this location, and you should see a small sparkling object on the upper section of a cabinet. Approach this area and interact with it using your Sticky Hand.

You can pull the key down and drop it to the floor using the Sticky Hand. Pick it up, and you can freely reach the Arcade area and advance the main story. When I did this, I encountered an animatronic on my way to the arcade, and I had to hide to avoid detection quickly. After they left, making my way to the Arcade door was straightforward, unlike trying to escape your house or causing a distraction at Jeff’s Pizza.
