After exploring the Big Top Showroom in FNAF Secret Of The Mimic. Being introduced to the Music Man failed prototype, Big Top. We now attempt to make our way to the rooftop. Problem is that is exactly where Big Top ran off to. Things suddenly sound a bit worrying. It is likely that we haven’t seen the last of Big Top just yet.. Though, on the bright side we do get another security clearance upgrade. Question is, are you ready for the Big Top Chase?

SOLVING THE MANNEQUIN PUZZLE IN THE BIG TOP SHOWROOM
After Big Top runs off through the glass in the roof of the showroom. We are now safe, for now. But our next objective and goal is to reach the rooftop. Though its likely we will, once again, confront Big Top. Our only path leads up. But before all of that we do have a puzzle to solve first
This puzzle is located at the top of the stairs, along with the Grand Prize collectible. Here we can find a locked door. A balcony and a picture next to this locked door. On this said picture is a list of various different diagrams and pictures. All of which seem to represent and correspond to hats
If you look down below from this balcony we should be able to spot several mannequins. Yes, the same ones that managed to make our escape around Big Top rather more difficult. However, unlike before, these mannequins now all seem to be wearing hats. From party hats to even cowboy and fancy hats. If you look more closely some of these hats even manage to look like the ones on the image next to the, currently, locked door. Hm..
Alongside hats and playing fancy dress, these same mannequins all have numbers printed on their backs. Now, if you haven’t worked it out yet. You are basically wanting to find the mannequins that are wearing hats that represent those on the image next to the door. If you spot one posing with one of the chosen head pieces then copy or write the number and, eventually, this will form a code.
Use this code on the red number panel by the door to unlock it. Simple, right? Now we can move on..
MAKING OUR WAY TO THE ROOFTOP
Now before we make our way over to the actual roof itself. Here, in this next room, there will be a device for use to upgrade our security clearance. The Creator Upgrade. Only by using this can we unlock the door leading to the rooftop. Again, like with all of them before this one we need to turn all the numbers in the grid so that they all represent the number ”1”. We can do this by starting at the Middle Track then moving down to the Bottom Track. This will leave us with obvious hints as to where to go next.
On the return start at the Top Track then the Bottom Track and, lastly, the Middle Track. If done correctly this should, then, solve our puzzle and give us clearance to the Rooftop. From there turn around to find a big red door with the label ‘Roof Access’
This will take us outside. It appears to be snowing.. Anyone getting Metal Gear Solid vibes?. All that is missing is Liquid and the Hind D. Anyway continue on, through yet another door. Until you reach some wooden signs blocking our path. Don’t worry we can easily remove those. But in doing so, be ready for a chase.. I did say he would return. After all he also escaped through the rooftop.
Hit the big red button and wait for the signs to automatically move before pressing on and into the next area. We are not safe or done yet
LEAVE ME ALONE BIG TOP – THE CHASE BEGINS
We are now in a room with a staircase. Head down and try to ignore Big Top as we don’t want to be captured and forced to restart this whole scenario again. He can and will get us if we linger. Continue heading down and into the next room. From here there will be multiple rooms to head through, but actually we just want the path to the right.
In this next corridor you are looking for an open doorway. Its at the very end of the area. Immediately, before Big Tops gains on us, you will want to turn and head right and down yet another corridor. The room will eventually open up with a large hole in the floor. Drop down. It’s actually a checkpoint.
We are now under the floor but Big Top can, now, use his long metal arms to punch through the floor above us. We cannot rest just yet. Continue on and watch out for falling rubble and its long arms. Our goal is to make it around this current area and into the next area, below us.
THE MANNEQUIN PANIC – BIG TOP CHASE CONTINUES..
Once you reach the next area you will find yourself on a rather linear course. So we shouldn’t get lost from here on. HOWEVER, those mannequins have, once again, returned. Every room we encounter will be full of them. In their attempts to block our path we will also want to try and keep away from them. If you get too close they will, as always, attempt to speak to us. Letting us know about how happy they are. Never knew mannequins could speak but here we are!
Just like back in the Showroom these idle blabbering dolls can and will get Big Top’s attention. We don’t want that. So try to avoid them best you can. However, in truth and my personal recommendation is to just run for it. The path in front is linear and as long as you know where to run to you will likely survive this chase. Without even caring about the mannequins.
Just remember that the first room with these idle blabbers there will be a hole in the wall to the left. By the cardboard. We will need to crawl underneath this. On the other side its scripted that Big Top will find us anyway. Continuing the chase regardless if we managed to alert his presence before or not.
At the end of the chase we will, once again, find ourselves back at a set of stairs. As if we pulled off a complete circle. Here Big Top will attempt to grab us BUT.. The entire area collapses instead. Safe again.. For now.. The Big Top Chase is now over..
