What Are Anomalies in Scary Shawarma Kiosk?
Anomalies are basically monsters pretending to be regular customers. Most of them look normal at first, but something will always feel off. Maybe they’ve got weird textures, or they act strangely on the CCTV cameras. Your job is to spot these red flags and close the shutters before serving them. If you serve too many anomalies, you’ll rack up errors, and the Inspector will punish you during the weekly inspection.
The CCTV cameras are your best friend here. Always check both Camera 1 and Camera 2, and don’t forget to toggle to night vision mode. Some anomalies only show their true form under specific camera settings.
All Dangerous Anomalies to Avoid
These are the customers you should NEVER serve. When you spot any of these, immediately close the shutters and wait for them to leave.
1. Back Holes
How to Spot: Switch to the rear camera view to spot holes in their back. This anomaly looks normal from the front but reveals disturbing holes when viewed from behind.
2. Weird Texture
How to Spot: Their arms and legs are covered with black marks and weird textures. The texture distortion is usually very noticeable once you know what to look for.
3. Nightvision Missing
How to Spot: They look normal at first, but will vanish completely once night vision is turned on. This is why checking both regular and night vision modes is crucial.
4. CCTV Double
How to Spot: When you see the camera, a second copy will show up, facing the opposite direction. This doppelganger effect is a clear warning sign.
5. CCTV Screamer
How to Spot: Checking the camera triggers a copy that suddenly lunges forward and screams. This jump scare anomaly is designed to catch you off guard.
6. CCTV Passenger
How to Spot: A disturbing goblin-like creature can be seen riding on their back through the camera. The passenger is usually only visible through CCTV.
7. CCTV Dancer
How to Spot: They look like they are dancing when viewed through night vision. This erratic movement is unnatural and indicates an anomaly.
8. Gibberish Old Man
How to Spot: An elderly man who speaks only in random letters. Normal customers speak comprehensible language, so this is an immediate red flag.
9. The Doppelganger
How to Spot: Looks nearly identical to a previous visitor. If you notice someone who seems familiar from an earlier customer, be cautious.
10. The Twins
How to Spot: Two matching blonde women holding hands, with one constantly jerking her head. The unnatural head movements give them away.
11. The Hacker
How to Spot: Claims to be a hacker and acts like they’ve crashed or disconnected your game. This meta-breaking behavior indicates an anomaly.
12. Santa
How to Spot: Dressed in a Santa outfit with a disturbing face, saying “Merry Evening.” The creepy facial features and wrong greeting are tell-tale signs.
Safe Anomalies You Should Serve
Not everyone weird is an anomaly. These customers might seem strange to you, but you need to serve them still. Refusing them will count as errors during inspection.
1. Karate Man
What Makes Them Safe: Wearing a martial arts outfit and practicing moves. Despite the unusual behavior, this is just a regular customer with hobbies.
2. Drunk Guy
What Makes Them Safe: Doesn’t carry any cash, but he’s harmless. Serve him, and he might come back to pay later. His drunkenness is just character flavor.
3. Dancing Lady
What Makes Them Safe: She dances right in front of your counter. If the dancing only shows up on cameras, that’s an anomaly. Real dancing in person is safe.
4. Short Arms
What Makes Them Safe: A customer who naturally has shorter arms. This is just a physical characteristic, not an anomaly sign.
5. Phone Lady
What Makes Them Safe: Her phone has a loud, screaming ringtone, but she’s harmless. The annoying sound doesn’t make her dangerous.
6. Michael Myers
What Makes Them Safe: He does nothing dangerous. You just need to follow his order and serve him. Despite the horror reference, he’s just a customer.
Special Anomalies Requiring Specific Actions
These three need special treatment. Don’t just serve or reject them. Follow these exact steps so they don’t disturb you more.
1. The Smiling Man
How to Serve: He looks super creepy with a big smile, but you must serve him. First, give him a soda, take the bundle he hands over to you, and put it under the cash register. Following this sequence exactly prevents negative consequences.
2. Faceless Man
How to Serve: His face has a large hole in the center. Serve him as usual, but never hover your cursor over the hole. The interaction rule is specific – serve normally but avoid the hole.
3. Booger Man
How to Serve: Appears in front of your counter and offers to eat his booger for $1000. Decline the offer and continue working. The choice is clear – refuse the disgusting offer.
4. The Narrator
How to Serve: The narrator guides you with voice hints, suggesting what to do during key moments, like closing the shutter after a customer arrives. Following or ignoring these suggestions can lead to different outcomes, ranging from safe choices to dangerous endings where the kiosk is set on fire while you’re still inside. So, just trust your gut.
Anomaly Events and How to Handle Them
Sometimes weird stuff happens that has nothing to do with serving customers. Here’s how to handle each situation:
1. Dancing Goblin
What Happens: A greasy goblin dances, then slides at your face. Just acknowledge it. Don’t panic or overreact – simple acknowledgment is enough.
2. Fridge Goblin
What Happens: This creepy goblin appears on top of your fridge. Just acknowledge it. Like the dancing goblin, recognition without panic is the key.
3. The Meat
What Happens: The meat tornado on the grill warps and makes noise. You need to turn it off immediately and leave the kiosk. This is one of the more dangerous events requiring immediate action.
4. Window Watcher
What Happens: A goblin is watching you closely through the window. Just acknowledge it. Maintain composure and continue your duties.
5. The Inspection
What Happens: Around 2 am, a car will pull up in front of your kiosk, and your screen will turn red. Leave through the back door immediately. This is a critical event that requires swift action.
Pro Tips for Mastering Anomaly Detection
Camera Usage Strategy
Make checking cameras a habit every single time someone walks up to your kiosk. Switch between regular view and night vision, and check both Camera 1 and Camera 2. Some anomalies only reveal themselves under specific conditions.
Listen to Your Character
Always pay attention to what your character says. If they comment that someone looks familiar or seems off, trust that instinct. The game gives you hints through dialogue that can help you make the right decision.
Use the Corruption Shop Wisely
If you’re really struggling, you can buy the Show Anomaly boost from the Corruption Shop for 1000P or 19 Robux. It scans one customer for you, but it only works once per purchase. Save it for when you’re genuinely stuck.
Balance Your Decisions
Remember that serving anomalies adds to your error count. If you make too many mistakes, you’ll fail the inspection. But refusing normal customers also counts as errors, so you need to get good at telling the difference.
Practice Pattern Recognition
Practice makes perfect, and after a few shifts, you’ll start recognizing the patterns and spotting anomalies faster. Each dangerous anomaly has specific tells that become more obvious with experience.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Rushing Camera Checks
Don’t rush through your camera inspections. Take your time to check both cameras and both modes (regular and night vision). Missing an anomaly because you hurried can cost you the inspection.
2. Ignoring Character Dialogue
Your character’s observations are valuable clues. Ignoring comments about customers seeming “off” or “familiar” is a missed opportunity to catch anomalies.
3. Overusing Shop Boosts
The Show Anomaly boost is limited and costly. Don’t waste it on easy customers. Save it for situations where you’re genuinely uncertain about a customer’s status.
4. Panic During Events
During anomaly events, stay calm. Most only require acknowledgment. Panicking can lead to poor decisions in more critical situations.
Advanced Strategies
Error Management
Keep track of your errors throughout the shift. If you’re approaching the limit, be more conservative with your decisions. It’s better to serve a few safe customers than risk failing inspection.
Time Management
Some events, like The Inspection, happen at specific times (around 2 am). Plan your actions accordingly and be prepared for these timed events.
Memory Games
The Doppelganger anomaly requires you to remember previous customers. Developing a good memory for customer appearances will help you spot duplicates quickly.
