The Big Letter Scavenger Hunt and Theory Thread (The big teaser thread)
EDIT 8 (teaser trailer)
I shouldn't even need to point out the 19:87.
Current standing: R A I S E H E L L (or H E L L R A I S E r if you prefer)
Potentially could also include: R T
I'll update this thread when there are more suspicious tweets. I'll leave most of the thread as is, to keep it recognisable, though (and to be perfectly honest, cba to format something that’s gonna be irrelevant in a few weeks' time).
Please, to ensure you do not post theories that already have been discussed, read the whole thread. Saves us all a lot of time. Also, we don't want theory threads flooding the forum, so it would also be great if you could keep it all here in one place.
Also, please keep discussions about whether FNaF is a morally just addition out of here. Would be a damn shame if this thread got closed over that.
Without further ado...
OP (S):
A few minutes ago, DbD's Twitter just posted this:
That is quite unmistakably an S.
EDIT 1 (I):
At what I assume is the same time, this was also posted on other platforms:
Notably, it seems Ace is trapped in a cage in the bottom left.
Also of note is that when comparing the board itself to how it appears in-game:
On the Facebook image, Circus is spelled with two i's -- Ciircus. In-game, that typo doesn't appear. It can also be said that the ii's vaguely resemble candles. Take that as you will.
EDIT 2 (A):
Well.
Since some theories are being made around the amount of A's here, there's also
This is only 5 Japanese (I think) A's. A noteworthy difference. Perhaps it's a clue as well?
EDIT 3 (maaaaaybe RT):
Almost immediately followed by:
Are those 2 more letters? Or are they indeed just a Red Herring?
EDIT 4 (R):
DbD's Twitter's profile picture just changed:
Even if you didn't believe the "rt" thing, THAT is an R.
That makes:
S I A R (or S I A R R T)
Now having at the very least 1 R:
Candyman is already out
Isabel is out.
”Say it/my name” is out
Pennywise is already out
EDIT 5 (DECONFIRMED H):
WARNING: THIS ONE IS DEBUNKED PROPER
Bit of confusion with this one on my end, my apologies.
However...
An H
I REPEAT THIS HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.
EDIT 5,5:
Twice over, flat-out denial, as opposed to acting oblivious.
EDIT 6 (E):
An E.
Well, there goes Springtrap. Oh well.
S A I R E
Hellraiser?
Is that a pin?
I can confirm the pin is NOT in-game, making it a potential hint.
EDIT 7 (H E L L)
In the official DbD Discord, 4 audio clips were uploaded (which I can't upload to the forums):
Putting them in the correct order (4132) creates the survivor theme. When edited together, and putting it through a spectrogram we get:
H E L L
H E L L R A I S E r ?

Scandyman has to be

Probably something to start a hypetrain, only to be underwhelmed by the result.
21 -
Springtrap maybe? I have feeling the next killer is either him or Candyman.
4 -
I really don't want to say it in case it launches a manurestorm... but...
There is a certain character...
3 -
It has to be!
(not my work)
25 -
Bets are still on Candy and Penny. As an answer I would love to sit down with Kate and the Yamaoka family

S for Spirit. “Take a seat and chat” is suggesting that Spirit mains will need to take a seat when they see the upcoming changes announced.
Spirit nerf incoming?!?!?!?!
13 -
The artist is in the left bottom corner xD
2 -
Yeah I'm on mobile so I couldn't see, I just had the image saved and I wanted an opportunity to use it, but thanks though haha
2 -
They post a different image on facebook, https://www.facebook.com/DeadByDaylight/photos/a.961799927201913/4219025478145992/
If anyone has time to look for another letter 😁
EDIT: Look like an Ace ? on the left cage.
4 -
Scissorhands?
2 -
If it genuinely is flippin' springtrap this time, they should tell us NOW. more time to uninstall and potentially get a refund if you just recently started playing
4 -
Indeed it does.
Full image.
Can't help notice the double I in Ciircus. Was that always there?
1 -
Spiral. Saw.
2 -
I find it very odd that Behavior would promote Saw/Spiral with a cryptic hidden "S" in the backround of a random screenshot.
I think it means something else.
5 -
yeah this might just be a saw or spiral sale
1 -
Unless they are putting in another free Saw cosmetic and it'll be code for a charm.
1 -
there seems to be something behind the smoke
just gotta zoom and enhance a little more
I knew it, this chapters killer was the letter S this whole time, my prediction was spot on
32 -
You'd think they'd do that while promoting all the SAW stuff- 2x Gideon appearance, Bloodhunt on mobile, sale on SAW cosmetics and such.
2 -
S is for Scooby Doo!
I better get a full on Velma cosmetic for my Claudette or I will riot!
11 -
Today they tweeted about Spiral so still doing Saw promo.
1 -
the ‘S’ may be for Springtrap. Only putting this together since the ‘S’ is hidden and for some reason Ace seems to be “trapped” in their other post.
If you zoom in there’s also 2 of the letter “i” in the word ‘circus’ for some reason. They spell it “ciircus” instead.
5 -
Also Hapiy
0 -
So uhm,...
The P, R and I stand out to me for some reason. They seem unusually clear, and the words they're in are misspelled.
SPIR(al?)
SPRI?
Oh boy....
Can anyone check if it's like this on the actual sign?
0 -
It means the next killer will be S tier
16 -
Or SPIRal
0 -
I know very little about Five Night at Freddy's... Does the double i mean something? Like, an easter egg from FNaF? I'm confused.
0 -
On Twitter.
9 -
I doubt the hints would be about Saw Spiral because everything else they're saying about it is super obvious so why would they try to do some kind of cryptic hint to tell us what we already know
3 -
ok that confirms its something
4 -
They vaguely resemble candles. Associated with parties, or just birthdays.
Again, was this always there, I wonder?
0 -
Circus with 2 ii
0 -
I've checked instagram, and there doesn't seem to be an image there...
How peculiar.
1 -
Code for something like a charm.
0 -
I'm thinking about Slender for some reason.
I have a feeling about a tall killer like Slender man that watches you from a far.
2 -
See my post above yours.

So, there is a birthday party in FNaF that could drive the conclusion to it? I only know the name of the game, and the fact there are animatronics trying to kill someone. That's all.
I mean, I don't see the link between candles and FNaF. But I do see these i looking like candles.
0 -
Birthday parties are quite important to Fnaf's lore but I'm not good at explaining the lore(since everyone has their own interpretation of it)
0 -
Sure grandpa, let's take you to bed.
16 -
This was what I was going to say. if it's anything, it's probably just a charm. Or it means nothing and BHVR are watching us all flail around guessing.
2 -
Wat?
6 -
Someone's mad for no reason
12 -
It makes most sense. Keep eye on social media while they release one letter at a time, once all letters are out will be code that is activated on day last letter is shown.
0 -
But there doesn't seem to be any glowy letters on the Campbell image. Just the misspelled words, the ii candles and ace trapped.
0 -
I'll ask once again, would anyone be willing to (help me) check the sign in-game?
0 -
I don't even like FNAF but it's going to be so funny if it's really him lmao.
6 -
That's enough for me, to know birthday parties are important to the lore. Thanks! I'm excited to see more theory about this s.
0 -
I noticed that too, but I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.
1 -
My eyes might be bad, but it looks like a banjo leaning sideways on top of a rock pile. If we get a "Deliverance" chapter, I'm leaving AND setting my computer on fire to cleanse it.
4 -
The picture from FB was also posted with 2 clown emojis. That mean it's It? Or Killer Klown from Outerspace? Maybe the S is for Space.
