After 50+ hours surviving night shifts at Shawarma 24, I've encountered every anomaly type in Scary Shawarma Kiosk: the ANOMALY. This guide covers every entity I've documented, how to identify them, and whether to serve or shutter. If you're struggling to tell humans from monsters, this is your survival bible.
Before diving in, make sure you've grabbed all the free Anomaly Coins and boosts from codes – the Anomaly Detector power-up makes spotting these entities much easier.
How Anomaly Detection Works
Every customer that approaches your kiosk window could be human or anomaly. Your job is to identify them before serving. You have three detection methods:
Direct Observation - Look at the customer through your window. Obvious anomalies have visual tells like distorted faces, creatures on their backs, or unnatural movements.
CCTV Cameras - Check customers on the security monitors before they reach your window. Some anomalies only reveal themselves on camera.
Night Vision Mode - Toggle night vision on your CCTV. Skinwalkers and certain entities appear normal in regular view but show their true form in night mode.
The golden rule: When in doubt, close the shutter. It's better to lose a potential customer than serve an anomaly and get terminated.
Appearance-Based Anomalies
These anomalies have obvious visual tells you can spot through direct observation.
Creature on Back
How to identify: A parasitic creature is visibly attached to the customer's back or shoulders. Sometimes it moves independently.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: One of the easier anomalies to spot. The creature is usually dark-colored and may have tentacles or limbs.
Black Hole Eyes
How to identify: The customer's eyes are completely black voids – no whites, no pupils, just darkness.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Can be subtle in poor lighting. Always check the eye area carefully.
Blank Face
How to identify: The customer has no facial features – no eyes, nose, or mouth. Just smooth skin where a face should be.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Extremely obvious once you see it. Don't confuse with the Faceless Man (different entity with specific rules).
Distorted Limbs
How to identify: Arms or legs are unnaturally long, bent at wrong angles, or have extra joints.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Sometimes subtle – check the proportions of arms especially.
Glitchy Texture
How to identify: The customer's body or clothing appears to glitch, flicker, or have visual artifacts like a corrupted video file.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: More common in later shifts. The glitching may be intermittent.
Wide Unnatural Smile
How to identify: An impossibly wide grin that stretches beyond normal human limits, often showing too many teeth.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Don't confuse with the "Smiling Customer" rule – that's a normal human who requires soda with their order.
Missing Body Parts
How to identify: Customer is missing visible body parts – floating head, no arms, transparent sections.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Can range from obvious (floating head) to subtle (missing fingers).
CCTV-Detected Anomalies
These anomalies appear normal through direct observation but reveal themselves on camera.
Skinwalker
How to identify: Looks completely human through the window. On CCTV with night vision enabled, their true monstrous form is visible.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: This is why you ALWAYS check CCTV before serving. Skinwalkers are designed to fool direct observation.
Camera Distortion Entity
How to identify: When you view this customer on CCTV, the camera feed distorts, shows static, or displays a screaming face.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: The distortion itself is the tell. If your camera glitches when viewing a specific customer, that's your warning.
Disappearing Customer
How to identify: Customer is visible through the window but doesn't appear on CCTV at all, or disappears when you switch to night vision.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: If someone's at your window but not on camera, they're not human.
The Double
How to identify: The same customer appears in two locations simultaneously – one at your window and one elsewhere on CCTV.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Always scan all camera feeds. If you see the same person twice, neither is human.
Behavior-Based Anomalies
These anomalies reveal themselves through unusual actions or dialogue.
Cryptic Dialogue
How to identify: Customer speaks in nonsensical phrases, backwards speech, or says things that don't make sense as food orders.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Normal customers have standard dialogue. Anything weird = anomaly.
Twitching/Jerky Movement
How to identify: Customer moves in unnatural, jerky motions – like a broken animatronic or stop-motion animation.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Watch for a few seconds before serving. Anomalies often can't maintain smooth human movement.
Unnatural Dancing
How to identify: Customer performs strange, rhythmic movements that no normal person would do while ordering food.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Sometimes visible on CCTV before they reach your window.
Repeat Customer (Same Shift)
How to identify: A customer you already served returns during the same shift with the same appearance.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve the second appearance.
Notes: Humans don't come back for seconds during the same shift. The second one is always an anomaly.
Special Anomalies (Unique Rules)
These entities have specific rules that override the normal "close shutter" response.
The Faceless Man
How to identify: A customer with no face – but different from the Blank Face anomaly. The Faceless Man is a specific recurring entity.
Action: YOU MUST SERVE HIM. Do not look at his face for too long. Prepare his order quickly and serve.
Consequence of closing shutter: Counts as a mistake. Multiple mistakes = termination.
Notes: This is a rule-based anomaly. Check the rules wall each shift – it will tell you about the Faceless Man.
The Smiling Customer (Rule-Based)
How to identify: A normal-looking human customer who is smiling.
Action: SERVE THEM, but you MUST include soda with their order regardless of what they ordered.
Consequence of not giving soda: Counts as a mistake.
Notes: This is NOT an anomaly – it's a rule. Smiling customers are human but require soda. Check your rules wall.
Paper Parcel Customer
How to identify: A customer who gives you a wrapped paper parcel after you serve them.
Action: Take the parcel and place it under the table. DO NOT OPEN IT.
Consequence of opening: Triggers a secret ending where you're teleported to a dark dimension.
Notes: This leads to one of the secret endings. Only open if you want that ending.
Santa Anomaly (Christmas Event)
How to identify: Appears as Santa Claus, but the sack he carries appears to be struggling/moving.
Action: Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve.
Notes: Part of the Christmas update. Real Santa wouldn't have a struggling sack.
Environmental Anomalies
These aren't customers but environmental changes that signal danger.
Flickering Lights
What happens: The kiosk lights flicker or go out temporarily.
Action: Stay alert. An anomaly is likely approaching or already present.
Screen Static
What happens: Your CCTV monitors display static or distortion.
Action: An entity is interfering with your equipment. Check all cameras carefully.
Moving Meat Tray
What happens: The meat tray moves on its own when you're not touching it.
Action: Something is in your kiosk. Be extremely cautious.
Fog Event
What happens: Thick fog rolls in, and you may see dead bodies hanging in the air.
Action: Close the window immediately. Wait until the fog clears completely or a new customer arrives.
Notes: Part of the Christmas update. Do not serve anyone during fog events.
The 2 AM Inspection
This is a critical event that happens every shift. A driverless car arrives at 2 AM.
What to do:
- Exit through the back door immediately
- Keep your back to the kiosk at all times
- Do NOT look at any monitors
- Do NOT look back at the kiosk
- Wait until the inspection ends
Consequence of looking: "Unauthorized presence" termination. Instant game over.
I failed this five times before getting it right. The urge to look is strong, but resist it.
Anomaly Detection Priority
When multiple customers are waiting, check them in this order:
- CCTV scan first - Check all customers on camera before opening
- Night vision toggle - Catch skinwalkers
- Direct observation - Look for obvious visual tells
- Behavior watch - Observe for a few seconds before serving
- Dialogue check - Listen to what they say
Tips for Surviving Later Shifts
Days 30+ introduce multiple simultaneous anomalies and more subtle tells.
Use the Anomaly Detector corruption - Get this from codes or the corruption shop. It highlights anomalies automatically.
Prep meat during calm periods - Have 6+ pieces ready so you can serve quickly and focus on detection.
Trust your instincts - If something feels off, close the shutter. Better safe than terminated.
Memorize the rules wall - Rules change each shift. Some anomalies become "serve" entities based on daily rules.
