Understanding Special Events vs. Anomalies

Before diving into specific events, it’s crucial to understand the distinction between special events and customer anomalies. Special events are environmental occurrences or scripted encounters that happen during your shift, while anomalies are supernatural entities disguised as customers. Both require different approaches, and mastering both is essential for survival in 2026.

The game’s developer TRAPYXCHAT31 has created an intricate system where these events can occur simultaneously, adding layers of complexity to your night shift management. With over 297.5 million visits since its August 25, 2025 release, this game has captivated players with its unpredictable horror elements.

Critical Friday Inspection Events

The 2 AM Inspection – Your Most Dangerous Challenge

Every Friday at precisely 2 AM, you’ll face the most critical event in the game. Here’s exactly what happens and how to survive it:

What to Expect:

A black car pulls up to your kiosk
Your screen turns red
The Inspector arrives for your weekly evaluation

Survival Steps:

IMMEDIATELY exit through the back door when you see the car
Face away from the kiosk – never look back
Wait outside until your screen returns to blue
Avoid checking CCTV cameras during this time
Return to work only after the inspection ends

Pro Tip: Many players make the mistake of trying to serve customers during inspection time. Stop everything – your survival depends on following these exact steps. Some sources suggest hiding behind the trash can in the backyard, but exiting through the back door remains the most reliable method.

Environmental Special Events

The Fog and Creepy Old Monster

When thick fog engulfs your kiosk, you’re dealing with one of the game’s most atmospheric events:

Event Details:

Dense fog surrounds your kiosk
A creature runs past the kiosk
Corpses appear in the fog
A creepy old monster approaches the window

Survival Strategy:

Close the kiosk completely – keep shutters down
Stay inside – do not go outside for any reason
Wait patiently until the fog dissipates
Monitor through cameras if necessary, but don’t interact

The Creepy Moaning Face

This terrifying event often follows the fog and requires nerves of steel:

What Happens:

A face appears on the ceiling, moaning
Lights begin flickering
Water-like substance drips from the face

How to Handle:

Stay calm – panic leads to mistakes
Continue working if customers are present
Close kiosk if the face becomes too distracting
Wait it out – the face will eventually disappear

Suspicious Meat Event – DEADLY DANGER

This is one of the few events that can instantly end your shift:

Warning Signs:

The grilled meat starts pulsating
Strange noises come from the meat
The meat appears to be “alive”

CRITICAL Survival Steps:

Turn off the heat switch immediately
Exit to the backyard right away
Wait outside until the noise stops completely
NEVER stay inside – this causes instant death

This event is often confused with normal meat cooking, but the pulsating and noises are clear warning signs that something is terribly wrong.

Creature-Based Events

Dancing Goblin Encounters

These mischievous entities are more annoying than dangerous but can still disrupt your workflow:

Variations:

Main Dancing Goblin: Appears in front, dances, then jumps at your face
More Goblin: Can appear under counter, on fridge, behind meat, behind garbage, or hanging upside down

How to Handle:

Observe if you want – they’re just jump scares
Close the kiosk if they’re too distracting
Continue serving if regular customers arrive
Do nothing special – they’re harmless despite appearances

The Cursed Cat Incident

This event involves a mysterious customer with an equally mysterious pet:

The Scenario:

A lady arrives with a cursed cat
The cat jumps on you if you make eye contact
Legend says looking at it kills the viewer

Survival Protocol:

NEVER look at the cat’s face
Focus on serving the lady normally
Mind your business and complete the transaction
Keep your eyes down if the cat becomes agitated

Mysterious Vehicle Events

Cars play a recurring role in the game’s horror elements:

Car’s Arrival:

Random car stops in front of kiosk
No one enters or exits
Car eventually leaves on its own

Stinky Car Variation:

Same car arrives with green smoke
Someone releases a “stinky puff”
Mocking laughter follows
Action: Do nothing – it’s a harmless prank

The Latest Addition: The Narrator Event

Added in the December 20, 2025 winter update, The Narrator represents a new type of special event:

What Makes The Narrator Special?

Spawns randomly during your shift
Comments on your actions in real-time
Offers suggestions for what to do next
Available until January 8 (seasonal event)

How to Handle The Narrator?

Listen but don’t always obey – suggestions can lead to good or bad outcomes
Trust your instincts when following advice
Consider the context of each suggestion
Remember this is temporary – the event ends with the winter season

This seasonal anomaly adds a unique psychological element to the game, making you question whether to trust the mysterious voice guiding your actions.

Advanced Survival Strategies

Camera System Mastery

Your CCTV system is your best defense against both anomalies and some special events:

Best Practices:

Check both Camera 1 and Camera 2 before serving anyone
Toggle between normal and night vision – some events only appear in specific modes
Make camera checks a habit – every single customer
Watch for environmental changes through cameras

Error Management System

Understanding the game’s error system is crucial for long-term survival:

How Errors Accumulate?

Serving anomalies adds to your error count
Refusing normal customers also counts as errors
Too many mistakes trigger early inspections
Five anomalous customers lead to the conveyor belt ending

Minimizing Errors:

Study anomaly patterns carefully
When in doubt, close the kiosk
Learn from mistakes – each shift teaches you something new
Use the Show Anomaly boost (1000P or 19 Robux) when truly stuck

Power and Resource Management

While focusing on events, don’t forget basic kiosk management:

Essential Tips:

Monitor power levels constantly
Balance customer service with anomaly detection
Keep the grill hot but not overheating
Maintain cleaning schedules to prevent negative events

Seasonal and Update-Specific Events

The game continues evolving with regular updates. As of January 2026, here are the current seasonal considerations:

Winter Events (January):

The Narrator (available until January 8)
Potential holiday-themed anomalies
Increased fog events during night shifts

Recent Changes (December 2025 Updates):

Fixed income bugs affecting shift performance
Improved NPC models for better anomaly detection
New badge icons for event achievements
“Disable Hints” setting added for experienced players

Troubleshooting Common Event Problems

Event Glitches and Bugs

Meat not stopping pulsation: Exit and re-enter the kiosk
Goblin animations stuck: Close and reopen the kiosk
Narrator not speaking: Check your audio settings
