99 Nights in the Forest πŸ”¦ Beginner Guide

A short path for a new run: fire, map, day-2 trader, then the guide that matches the problem you actually have.

First session

  1. Stay at camp until the fire upgrades β€” Chop the small trees by camp and throw logs on the fire until it upgrades once. That takes about 5 to 6 logs and opens more of the map. Craft a Map with 3 Wood.
  2. Use night 1, then meet the trader β€” Night 1 is safe from the Deer even though it appears. Day 2 is when it attacks outside the light, and when the Pelt Trader arrives asking for a Rabbit's Foot and a Wolf Skin.
  3. Pick the next guide for the job β€” Open the crafting guide before you spend scrap on walls. Open the rescue guide when the missing-children board has a cave you can reach. Open the raid guide before day 4. Open classes when you have Diamonds and have not bought anything yet.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are you trying to do in 99 Nights in the Forest?

You build a camp, keep the campfire burning, and try to reach 99 nights. The official listing says you build that camp with friends. A run can continue past night 99. Rescuing four missing children is a major objective, and a Self-Preservation badge is described for reaching day 99 without rescuing any of them.

Can I play alone?

Yes. You can start a run alone. Survival parties are reported at up to five players. That party size is separate from whatever capacity the Roblox lobby shows.

What are Diamonds for?

Diamonds are the class currency. The September 3, 2025 class guide says you earn them from badges, events, and chests, then spend them in the class shop. Promo codes are another reported source.

Where is the official community?

No confirmed developer Discord invite was tied to the Roblox group from the public pages read here. Use the Roblox experience and the Grandma's Favourite Games community linked on the game page.
