Fun with Plushtrap first appeared as a bonus minigame in Five Nights at Freddy's 4, the 2015 horror game by Scott Cawthon, where players lure the small green plush rabbit Plushtrap onto an X to earn extra time. The minigame's cheerful yet unnerving music quickly became a recognisable shorthand for the game's toy-like horror, and fans began clipping it for edits, reaction videos and horror memes. It remains popular because it instantly signals FNAF tension without needing a full jumpscare, making it useful for short countdowns and playful scares.
