This is a history sub-page related to Nightmare Balloon Boy.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4[]
Nightmare Balloon Boy only exists in the "Fun With Balloon Boy" minigame, which functions almost exactly like the minigame "Fun With Plushtrap". Nightmare Balloon Boy starts off on the chair and then moves to four sets of doors, hallway, the "X" on the floor, or jumpscares the player.

Nightmare Balloon Boy functions exactly as Plushtrap in the "Fun with Plushtrap" minigame, except for the fact that he laughs or says "Hi" or "Hello" in a deep, demonic voice as well as the fact that he moves at a slightly faster speed than Plushtrap (given the shorter timer), making him more of a challenge. His jumpscare is similar in fashion.
To win the minigame, the player must shine the flashlight when Nightmare BB is stopped on the "X", Nightmare BB will then permanently cease moving and the player will be granted a 2-hour bonus for the next night (1 hour is skipped when challenges are enabled). If the player fails the minigame and Nightmare BB is hiding in a room or still in his chair when the timer goes out, the player will receive a death screen with the words "TOO BAD". If the player fails the minigame and/or Nightmare BB gets too close before the timer runs out, they will be jumpscared by Nightmare BB and lose the chance to win the 2-hour bonus, also giving the player the "TOO BAD" result screen.
Ultimate Custom Night[]
“When he is slumped over in your office, do not shine your light on him. When he is sitting up, however, you must use your flashlight to reset him.” |

Nightmare Balloon Boy returns in Ultimate Custom Night as one of the many selectable characters.
When the night starts, Nightmare BB is already slouched over inside the office. After lowering the monitor, there's a chance he'll be sitting up. When slouched, the player needs to avoid shining the flashlight on him, as this will result in an immediate jumpscare. If he is sitting, however, they should shine the light to return him to his slouching position, otherwise he will attack when the player opens up the monitor.
The challenges in which Nightmare BB is present are as follows:
- Pay Attention 1 (5)
- Pay Attention 2 (20)
- Nightmares Attack (20)
- Chaos 3 (20)
Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted[]

Nightmare BB returns in Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted as one of the numerous antagonists. He appears in the second Dark Rooms level, which is a recreation of "Fun With Balloon Boy", where the player has 90 seconds to stop Nightmare BB on the X. Successfully stopping him unlocks PlushBaby's level, whereas failure results in a jumpscare from him, forcing the player to restart. He also appears on a cardboard cutout in the Corn Maze level in the game's DLC, Curse of Dreadbear.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach[]
In Nightmare BB makes two cameos in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. First, as a cardboard cutout in Rockstar Row, which uses the same design as Curse of Dreadbear, and secondly as a background object in the 8th hole of Monty Golf AR-Cade.
