What Is Five Nights on the Ferry?
Five Nights on the Ferry is a free night shift horror game set on an overnight car ferry. You’re the night purser, alone in a small office with a wall of gauges, a security monitor and two heavy watertight doors. Something drove on with the last cars, and it knows where you sit. Your job is to stay alive from midnight until the ferry docks at 6 AM.
It plays in your browser on a laptop, Chromebook, tablet or phone. There’s nothing to download and no account to make, and the nights you’ve finished are saved on your device.
It’s an original FunClicker game for fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s style camera horror, with its own ship, its own cast and its own rules. It is not affiliated with that series.
How to Play Five Nights on the Ferry
- Raise the cameras with the Cameras button or Space, then pick a camera: car deck, stairs, lounge, cabin corridor, galley or aft deck.
- Shut a door with Left Door and Right Door, or A and D. Open it again when the knocking stops.
- Watch the power. Live cameras and shut doors drain the generator. If it runs dry, the doors open on their own.
- Vent steam left or right (Q and E) and sound the foghorn (H) once the later nights add them.
- Drag the office view, or move the mouse, to look at each door.
Who Is on Board
Each threat needs a different answer, and a new one joins every night.
| Threat | From | What it does | How to stop it |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Stowaway | Night 1 | Walks from the car deck, up the stairs and along the corridor to your left door. | Track it on camera and shut the left door when it leaves the corridor. |
| Seat 14 | Night 2 | A lounge passenger who turns toward the camera a little more each time you look away. | Look at the lounge camera often. If his seat is empty, shut the right door. |
| The Knocker | Night 3 | Never on camera. Taps through the pipes on one side, faster and louder. | Vent steam on the side the tapping comes from. |
| The Deckhand | Night 4 | Crosses the aft deck toward your window, but only in fog. | Sound the foghorn before it reaches the glass. |
The Nights
Night 1 teaches the cameras, the left door and the generator. Each night after that adds one more thing to keep track of, and Night 5 brings a storm that knocks the camera feeds out for a second or two at a time. Finish all five and the menu opens two more modes: the Last Crossing, where everything is awake, and Custom Night, where you set each threat from 0 to 20 yourself.
A night lasts about four and a half minutes. When something gets in, the game tells you what it was and what you missed, so the next attempt is a fair one.
Tips for Surviving the Night
- Keep doors open by default. A shut door is the fastest way to empty the generator. Shut it when you need it and open it after the knock.
- Check the lounge on a rhythm. A glance every few seconds keeps Seat 14 facing forward. A long look anywhere else is what lets him turn.
- Lost the Stowaway? If it was in the corridor a moment ago and now is on no camera, it’s at your left door.
- Use the pipe gauges. With the sound off, the gauge on the tapping side fills in the office view.
- The foghorn has a price. It sends the Deckhand back to the rail, and it gives everyone else a chance to move. Check the other cameras right after.
- Drop the monitor when you have nothing to check. Cameras cost power too.
Custom Night and the Leaderboard
Custom Night scores the total level you survived, with the power you had left as the tiebreaker. Win a night with a total of 20 or more and the result goes on the leaderboard. Four threats at 20 is there for anyone who wants to try it.
Is Five Nights on the Ferry Scary?
Yes, in the way this kind of game is meant to be: long quiet stretches, then a jumpscare with a loud sound when you slip. There’s no blood or gore. If you’re sensitive to sudden noise or flashing images, play with the sound low or give this one a miss.
FAQ

Yes. It's free to play in your browser, with no download, no account and nothing to pay for.
Is Five Nights on the Ferry a Five Nights at Freddy's game?
No. It's an original FunClicker game in the same night shift style: cameras, doors and limited power. It has its own setting and characters and is not affiliated with that series.
How do you beat Night 1?
Follow the Stowaway on the car deck, stairs and corridor cameras. When it leaves the corridor, shut the left door and wait for the knock, then open the door again to save power.
What happens when the power runs out?
The cameras go dark and both doors open. You can still reach 6 AM if nothing arrives first, so it is worth holding on.
How long is a night?
About four and a half minutes, from midnight to 6 AM. There are five nights, then the Last Crossing and Custom Night.
Can I play Five Nights on the Ferry on a phone?
Yes. Every control has its own button under the picture, and the layout stacks for an upright phone. Sound helps, but the pipe gauges and fog lamp show the same warnings on screen.
Is Five Nights on the Ferry unblocked at school?
It runs entirely in the browser with no download or plugin, which is why it usually loads on school networks and Chromebooks. We cannot control individual network filters.
