REport: Good News and Bad News 👉👈

⚠️LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD⚠️

HeyJ, team! This REport includes mention of a character singing, so watch at your own risk (and probably avoid any comments below, too!)

This REport is equal parts good and bad — perfectly balanced, as all REports should be! We’ve certainly found the silver lining, though, and ...

REport: A Visit From Glitchtrap

⚠️⚠️ LIGHT SPOILERS! ⚠️⚠️

HeyJ, pals! We had the pleasure of a double-visit this past week, with both Malcolm AND Casey dropping in for various business (and fun)! Casey was happy to give a little extra detail about some of his recording session -- nothing story-critical, but anyone trying to come...

REport: We Were Thinking of You! 🫶

HeyJ, squad! Lest you think we ignored you completely while working on our Wii Fit musical, here’s a secret REport we filmed and then squirreled away to release in the future. 😂 We’ve got other (current) updates for you, but we’ll save those for the next REport, which will be up very shortly. 😉 Thanks for your sup...

REport: Malcolm Malcame to Visit!

⚠️ LIGHT SPOILERS IN THIS REPORT ⚠️

HeyJ, team! We’re a bit overdue for an update, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some work underway for our next musical. Of course, FNAF: Dark Remains is still occupying sone attention, between music, editing, and audio/voice over. We also shared the current cu...

REport: April Fools' Joke...?

Greetings, encounterers! The cat's out of the bag and a premiere is officially scheduled to launch tomorrow morning, so it's time to finally come clean and admit that, yes, we made an actual musical for Wii Fit. We enjoyed all the speculation happening on the Discord server about whether or not the musical was real, and hones...

REport: What Remains of Freddy Fazbear

HeyJ, team! Don’t worry, Freddy’s fine — in fact, not only are he and his friends wrapped, but production on FNAF: The Musical’s finale is almost complete! I was so excited to share the remaining script size with you that I didn’t even mention we’re in the process of gathering a couple last guest stars to fill som...

REport: WE WATCHED FNAF: DARK REMAINS!

HeyJ, Encounterers! I'm so excited to tell you that we've officially screened Dark Remains as a group, and it's.... got a ways to go still! 😂 That's not to say it won't be amazing or that we aren't proud of it, though -- it's absolutely W...

REport: Do You Like Cheese?

Greetings, encounterers! Just in case you were under the assumption that we didn't have anything left to film for FNAF, this REport is here to prove that theory wrong! While we don't have MUCH left to film, small shoots like last night's are still needed for pickups and things we skipped. We've even got another small shoot sc...

REport: Final Shots from Lethal Company

HeyJ, team! Sorry, this was pretty last second (and not color corrected), so it's probably tough to see some of the details, but we were outside last night doing our final pick-up shots for 'MEET THE QUOTA!' 

The song is already hitting streaming platforms apparently (which is good!), and we hope you'll enjoy it ev...

REport: A Nutty REport

HeyJ, squad! Now that you've seen a teaser for our Lethal Company song, and a little behind-the-scenes footage as well, here's another quick clip from on one of the sets. The lighting's a little iffy, since we wandered about, but I think it gives a good idea of what we've been up to. ^^

If you're a member of our Discord...

REport: Welcome to Assurance!

HeyJ, everyone! By now, you've seen our Teaser Trailer for 'MEET THE QUOTA: A LETHAL COMPANY SONG,' and hopefully you enjoyed it. We got to hang out in some pretty dank production spaces while making this project, and also some really unique locations doubling as abandoned planets. Of course, we had to bring you along for a l...

REport: Another YouTuber Retired

HeyJ, everyone! Wow, what a devastating turn of events in today's REport! We hoped we'd never have to make an update like this, but... okay, fine, I'll stop clickbaiting you. Random Encounters is still alive -- in fact, we had a bit of a mishap with one of our props (actors? Stuntmen?) on set, which is why you're getting this...

REport: Shifting Things Around!

Greetings, encounterers! I know we told you that a teaser for Lethal Company was coming this week, but we've decided to shift some things around and release it next week instead (with the musical arriving the week after). Instead, RE Xtra will be getting a long-awaited house tour video this Friday! Full details on why we shif...

REport: Freddy Fridays Continues!

⚠️⚠️ SPOILERS! ⚠️⚠️

(skip ahead to 2:30 if you want to bypass some FNAF footage!)

HeyJ, everyone! We've been busy with a bit of work on the FNAF Musical, but also with prepping music and costuming for our LETHAL COMPANY song. There's quite a bit still to do, but I think it'll be a great addition to...

REport: Another FNAF Cameo!

⚠️⚠️ SPOILERS! ⚠️⚠️

HeyJ, team! I'd mentioned an old REport filmed on set in Kansas City, but I didn't mention who it was filmed with... Some of you may already be familiar with their work, but if not, you won't have much trouble hunting Dheusta's music down on YouTube (they've collaborated on many FNAF ...

Today was 'Five Nights Friday!' Who has one visible thumb and updated the filming script to just 8 pages? ✧◡✧

REport: Turn Your Volume Off For the Beginning

YIKES. HeyJ, team -- remember me? It's been a hot minute since our last update, I know!

We actually had an old, forgotten REport waiting, but it felt lame sharing that after disappearing so long. So we'll show that later this week, and force you to endure my terrible scratchy voice for a few minutes today!

Lest yo...

REport: The Last Update from Palmdale, California

HeyJ, everyone! It wouldn't be a proper final REport if it wasn't 17 minutes long, right? ;) We're officially signing off from our previous home in Palmdale, California and thought it was a great opportunity to also give you a little taste of our Lethal Company musical finally. Looking forward to hearing some projects you'd l...

REport: The Grungy Birds

HeyJ, squad. This one's a fun throwback for some of the OG's on the channel (or maybe it'll just make you cringe...) I guess looking back can be a nice way of reminding us all how far we've come!

We'll be doing our final REport from our last house this weekend, so prepare for some weepy feelings and farewells. The -GRE...

REport: Katie’s Final Day on Set!

HeyJ, everyone! It almost makes me a tiny bit misty-eyed, but we actually finished filming Katie’s last scene for FNAF: The Musical! 🥹 I kind of can’t believe we really filmed all these scenes, and I can’t thank Katie enough for really locking in with us for a LOT of long days and pretty intense scenes! 🙏

Th...

REport: Eve of the Awards

HeyJ! We should have put this up sooner, but here’s a little look at what went on the night of filming for the RE Awards. It’s been pretty jam-packed around here…

Speaking of, Gwen and I fly out for more filming soon, and hopefully we’ll get a few minutes to update you again when we arrive. I’m sorry Lethal Co...

REport: 16 Pages

HeyJ, team! I think we filmed this REport a week ago, so forgive us for any repeat information that’s maybe been covered already elsewhere. 😅

I’m so proud of this musical and how much fun and love (I hope) it shows for the FNAF Musical series and characters. We’re absolutely guilty of going off the rails and fa...

REport: Our New Baby! 👶

HeyJ, crew! Um... Maybe it's better if I don't even try explaining this one. I'd say it speaks for itself, but... I can't tell what it's saying. Maybe a cry for help?

We're not sure how our schedule looks, but there is DEFINITELY a music video in the works for Lethal Company, which we'll share some music for shortly. We...

REport: Balloon Boy Got Even More Annoying 💀

HeyJ, everyone! We’ve been knocking down a few more of our remaining 16 pages of the FNAF: Dark Remains script, but we’ve unfortunately hit a snag… It seems our “perfectly functioning” Balloon Boy has become the latest casualty, and the timing is uncanny: his most involved sequence is scheduled to film this week, ma...

REport: Bath Time for Murder Gremlins!

HeyJ, squad! It's a little early in the year for the best REport ever, but I feel like this might be a contender... We were doing a little clean-up on one of the animatronics and thought it was too silly not to document for you, so here's a short behind-the-scenes moment with everyone's favorite murder gremlin (and everyone's...

REport: The Servers Are DOWN!!

HeyJ, team! Welcome to Random Encounters 2024!

Well... sort of... We have a few straggler REports to share from last year still. Turns out, we were so busy the last few days that we failed to drop updates as often as we had them. So we're playing catch up with a couple things.

The new year also brings the final 2...

REport: It’s Time to Come Clean… 👀

⚠️⚠️ SPOILERS! ⚠️⚠️

Hey, team. Santa left one last present for you. It’s this video, which you shouldn’t watch unless Dark Remains details are kind of your thing.

Thanks for making this year, and especially this project, possible. You always come through for us with extreme enthusiasm and gener...

REport: A Beary Special Guest 🐻

⚠️⚠️ SPOILERS! ⚠️⚠️

Ho Ho HeyJ, everyone! Merry Christmas to all, and to all an urgent warning that THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR FNAF THE MUSICAL: DARK REMAINS! 😱 Watch and read this update only at your own risk!

This has been one of the toughest secrets to keep about Dark Remains, especiall...

The Original 2023 Schedule

HeyJ, crew! Here at the end of the year, I thought it’d be fun to look back at what our proposed plan for the year was intended to be… 😂 Yeah, some of them were a bit of a reach, but obviously a few were discussed quite a bit, and a couple actually happened!

We never apparently settled on one for February, w...

REport: P'Nelope's FNAF Cameo!

HeyJ, team! This is a dated REport I forgot about, but thought I'd share now since it has a cool little tidbit of trivia snuck in there. ;) No real spoilers this time, but I think the next might... If you want, I'll share a little music from our cancelled (postponed?) Christmas musical, too, in a separate REport.

Thanks...
