How To Find The Missing Kids In 99 Nights In The Forest 2025

Missing: Dino Kid, Squid Kid, Kraken Kid, and Koala Kid

Attacks from The Deer, The Bat, and all manner of creepy cultists are distracting enough, but don't forget your main goal in 99 Nights in the Forest: Find the lost children. The Roblox survival crafting game sends a constant onslaught of nighttime entities after struggling campers, sometimes making it hard to explore, but it's all for nothing if you don't find the kids.

The Deer grows a little more aggressive with each rescue, too, as finding a kid also means adding to your day counter—a curse and a blessing that speeds up the passage of time. There are four Lost Children in total, and you'll have to explore the farthest ends of the map to save them all.

If you're struggling to save the Dino Kid, Kraken Kid, Squid Kid, and Koala Kid, don't worry. I've rescued all four more times than I'd like to admit, so here's what you need to know to find all of the Lost Children in 99 Nights in the Forest.

Starting a new game means starting a new 99 Nights in the Forest map, so there's no simple solution to finding all four of the Lost Children at a set location. You can, however, rely on several handy tools the game gives you for clues on their whereabouts.

Before investigating what you don't know, consider what you do know about how to find the lost children:

I suggest building a map and compass before heading out at the start of any day. As you explore, the fog of war slowly lifts from the map, and marks their location with a distinct icon. It's handy in situations where you find one of the kids, but don't have time to clear the enemies and free them.

It's totally possible to rescue all four missing kids as a new player with no fancy upgrades, but if you're still struggling, then try checking out our class tier list and redeem any active 99 Nights in the Forest codes for more gems. Keep in mind that, even with the best classes, rescuing all four kids requires some patience. The Cyborg won't guarantee survival.

The Dino Kid typically requires upgrading to Campfire Level 2 to rescue him, but sometimes spawns at Level 3. He's guarded by five regular wolves wearing red collars.
