Webby's Wonderworld is quite a large indoor playground, but you're here for one reason. You see, the playground is hosted by four mascots, but for the month of October, it decided to become a FNAF-like experience where the mascots would capture guests instead.
With this in mind, you found out about the four mascots through some promotional posters as you headed through the entrance:
Webbigal, a multi-armed spider girl that serves at the Kiddie Kitchen.
Puff Puff, a puffy princess overlooking the Land of Putt.
Speed, a snail man tearing tracks on the Speedway
Inky, a squid girl shooting up the Laser Tag.
And there seems to be a few more minor mascots for some of the smaller attractions.
Anyway, the main reason you're entering is because this Halloween event is also a contest where the grand prize is ______. Though to get the prize, you would have to enter the place first.
'What am I doing here?' Caitlyn Grace asked herself as she stood before the building. The nerdy blonde fixed her glasses as she silently chastised herself. She knew exactly why she was here. She was a collector of rare and limited addition items so when she heard about a gold funko set that could only be won in a FNAF styled competition... Well she might be scared of horror stuff but surely she could use her gamer knowledge to get an advantage.
Nervous beyond all belief she walked into the building to find where the competitors meet. Plus it's noy like they can be that scary with the challenges... Right?
A pair of security guards ensured that Caitlyn didn't bring in anything dangerous like a weapon before they handed her a pamphlet and motioned her to stand with the rest of the contestants in front of a stage. There was a timer counting down, and the room was lit enough in green to see that there were doors to the side of this stage, so they probably could not leave the room yet.
Taking a look at the pamphlet, Caitlyn had a general idea of the "game":
-The goal is to find the tokens and leave the playground.
-4 tokens are needed to acquire the Limited Edition gold set, first come first serve. Latecomers would get a single gold Funko shipped to them at a later date.
-Anyone leaving with less tokens before the end of the event can trade their tokens in for a lesser non-gold prize.
There also seems to be a map of this place, but it's difficult to make out with the green lighting.

Caitlyn blushed after jumping from the check the security guards made for weapons. Why anyone would bring something in the first place she didn't know, but she made sure to commit to memory what she'd need to do to win the full set of Pops. She couldn't help but grunt as she struggled reading the map, hopefully once she got out of the green tinted lighting it'd be easier to plan.
A short and very slender petite girl named Julia came up to "Webby's Wonderworld" with a quick step. She had very small breasts, a neat little ass, thin arms and slender girlish legs. Her short brown hair was cut to look like a boy. She was wearing short denim shorts, a black T-shirt with the image of some buffoon (the logo of her favorite punk band and high boots. On the girl's head was a red baseball cap with the logo of the Red Sox team, turned back with a visor.
- "Hey-ho, let’s go! It's time to win a prize," - she said to herself and bravely entered the place.
Julia too was scanned and handed a pamphlet before she was escorted in.
At some point the timers shifted to show another rule to the game:
-A player passes by a mascot without incident while there was a bulb above.
-A player passes by a mascot but is chased while there was a bulb above.
-A player is pounced on by a mascot while there was a red bulb above.
This rule looped for a bit.
Julia looked at the timers in surprise:
"But..." she raised her index finger, puzzled, - "What's the difference between the first and second rule?"

"Maybe it's like a game of 'Red Light, Green Light'?" Caitlyn said as she stuffed her hands inside her grey sweatshirt. The last bit of the loop though caught her attention: what did it mean exactly that they'd pounce?
The room dimmed except for the green light as Webbigal descended on a web swing. She was a pale six-armed girl with four eyes, wearing a maid outfit for the event. Said arms revealed the joints that make her a robot. "Hello, welcome to my wonder world!
In just a few moments, you'll be exploring our dark side. Now, let me explain a few thing so that you can't accuse us of being unfair."
"First! You will win if you can grab our four Tokens and get out before the end of the day, preferably fast as we have limited top prizes." Webbigal pulled out the four tokens, each a quarter-puzzle piece. "That's four tokens from four places, so don't expect to win them all in one place. Second! The only reason I haven't 'started' the game is because of this green light! Now, if it were any other light, you're fair game. And absolutely no entering places that are red light. And there's no timer to change the light."
"Oh yes, one more thing. Even if you get all the tokens, you still have to escape. So just to be fair, the entrance won't open up again; you'll have to find one of the exits. Don't worry, here's a hint: The exits are not where the tokens are." Webbigal hummed to herself. "I'm sure there are more rules, but I'm not here to tell you how to win because it's my job to make you lose. Now, I'll be waiting in my kitchen. If you figure out how to greet me properly...well, why don't you find out?"

After Webbigal ascended back into the ceiling, the doors past the the theater opened up. It seems that the main hub of the playground is a ring that circles a netted playground. Excluding the theater, there seems to be seven sections connected to this ring walkway.
Okay that was not what Cait was expecting. You can say it's her anxiety about being in a live action FNAF situation but she'd something was off about Webbigal as she explained the rules. She figured they wouldn't be able to get the tokens in one spot but the Exit part was a little troubling. Taking a deep breath, Caitlyn walked through the now open door to see which sections of the hub was open.
Julia listened to the spider-maid and remembered her words, but did not attach too much importance to them. She still thought it was a normal attraction, like a Haunted Mansion.
The tomboy girl quickly looked at the map and remembered (very approximately) the location of the rooms, and then followed the girl in glasses, with whom she never had time to get acquainted. She was determined to be the first to collect tokens and was not going to give in to anyone.
Under dim but normal lighting, the map was easier to read:

From what they can tell, they can walk to adjacent sections as there weren't actually any walls in the way, though while the gift shop to the right was currently barren of its usual wares, the jail to the left was a counter and a door, so perhaps these areas were more of precursors to the lists areas. The green-lit daycare in the center was actually designed to be a floor lower, with the area above it cut away and netted around the rails, so they'll have to walk through the sections to get to the other side.
Of course, the lighting here wasn't great so it's a bit hard to figure out the other areas while near the theater.
While the crowd has thinned out and begun to explore the place, a muttering girl remained at the green-lit theater, distracted by her muttering.
- "What nonsense is this?" - Julia muttered irritably - "I thought there would be only 4 trials here. And where should I look for these stupid tokens?"
She didn't remember all the rooms, so she decided to start with the one that was closest, that is, with the theater.
- "Hey." - she turned to the mumbling girl - "Are you all right?"
Caitlyn bit her lip as she began to zone out to better collect her thoughts. Excluding the Theater, Gift shop, and Daycare there were six places to look for the coins. With the darkest areas being possibly the Arcade, Laser Tag, and Jail. Then again since they were all indoors, they could all be dark, making it impossible to find a coin and oh man why-
Caitlyn slapped her cheek, stopping herself from spiraling. She needed to focus! Six room, one token in for of them, all she needed was to choose a direction. Mini Golf, even if bathed in a UV Light, and florescent paint could help her see more then hinder her and if it was in regular light? All the more better! She quickly walked away, seeing only a few people had stayed.
The theater was the starting point of their adventure, so Julia didn't have to leave at all. The girl in question perked up realizing that someone came up to them.
"Ah, sorry, I was just reviewing what she said. The three points are the locations of the tokens, the lighting, and the exit's location. There's a likelihood that the location and the lighting are related." The girl theorized as she pulled out her map and looked up at the screen. "Now, she mentioned red lights, but from here, there aren't any in the areas we can see, so these red lights might be in the actual attractions themselves. And from how she suggested it, red light areas are likely areas where stepping into it will cause an immediate reaction whereas regular light means that you're in trouble only when they see you. So far, we only know that there is no timer, so we can't wait for these red light areas to change and I don't know if the animatronics changing the lights themselves count as a schedule; though that suggests that we have to find the light switch ourselves."
The girl chuckled. "...Sorry, my friends say I ramble a bit. I'm Jane Jones. How do you do?"

Making her way to the Minigolf area, it was actually the entryway to the actual golf course in the design of a plastic castle (that also served as a climb and slide playground), the entryway glowing an ominous red.
Caitlyn then saw a shape rushed out of this entryway; it turns out to be some sort of humanoid bot with a single leg on a wheel and it just dropped a wiggling bodybag through the slide that leads into the Daycare. As it turned, it spotted Caitlyn and moved towards her (it seems to be maid-like in appearance).

The moment she saw the red light she was about to turn around when she saw the robot. Thanks to the red light it was hard to make out it's appearance other than... Wait, what was it holding?! Caitlyn held her breath as she watched the body bag down the slide, too stunned to scream. Then the robot turned and as it came closer, she could make out it's maid like design.
"I-I was just checking..." She whimpered, taking a step backwards before running in a full sprint "I was just checking!!!" She yelled, hoping to avoid capture.
Thankfully, the maidbot wasn't fast and abandoned chase as it went to another unexpecting guest and...tidied them up. "Dusting! Dusting!"
"We have plenty of Maid Bots all over the place, but don't worry, they only do maid stuff." Webbigal explained over the intercom. "They only clean up and are reprogrammed to take unwanted 'trash' to the Daycare. Of course, they'll only be cleaning people now, so we'll have to check if we do hear them."

- "Julia. Julia Dolgova" - Julia introduced herself - "I had the same ideas about the color of the lighting (unashamed lie). But I still didn't understand what exactly should happen when the red light turns on (pure truth)"
- "Anyway..." - Julia appraisingly examined Jane -"Do you want to join me in the hunt for tokens?"

She calmed her breathing, making a mental note to check back at the Minigolf course later. Now however she knew she could out run any maid bot she came across, though she also need to be more careful going to anywhere. With that in mind, Caitlyn carefully made her way to the of the most obvious spots for a coin... The Arcade.
"i'm ..... I'm not late .... am I?" Hannah gasped, sputtering slightly as she ran up to the doors, pausing only to catch her breath. her car had broken down a week ago so she had been forced to walk everywhere and Webby's Wonderworld had been a bit further then she thought. she had been going to Webby's ever since she was a kid, most if not all her birthdays where held here before she moved out of her Parents, so when she had first herd of the competition, she had cleared her schedule.
