Scary Shawarma Kiosk All Anomalies Guide
In Scary Shawarma Kiosk: the ANOMALY, anomalies are supernatural entities disguised as ordinary customers who arrive at your late-night shawarma stand. Your survival depends on correctly identifying who to serve and who to reject. Serve a dangerous anomaly or reject a safe one, and you accumulate errors that eventually summon The Inspector — a grotesque meat creature growing from the kiosk floor.
This comprehensive anomaly guide covers every category you will encounter during your night shifts. We organize anomalies into three groups: dangerous entities you must reject by closing the shutter, safe oddballs you must still serve despite their unsettling appearance, and special customers who require unique interactions beyond simple serve-or-reject decisions.
Why Anomaly Identification Matters
The game intentionally blurs the line between normal and supernatural. Michael Myers wears a terrifying white mask but is completely harmless — reject him and you add an error. Meanwhile, a polite customer who looks perfectly normal might vanish entirely when you toggle CCTV night vision, revealing them as a Nightvision Ghost. The penalty system is unforgiving: five mistakes trigger the Employee Neutralized Ending.
Your most reliable tool is the CCTV monitor to the left of the serving window. Every customer should be checked on both Camera 1 and Camera 2, in standard view and night vision, before you prepare their order. This four-step check takes only seconds but prevents the majority of fatal mistakes.
Anomaly Categories Overview
Dangerous anomalies must never be served. Close the service shutter immediately when you identify one. These include CCTV-specific threats like the Screamer, Doppelganger, and Passenger creatures that are invisible from the serving window. Browse our dangerous anomalies reference for the complete list with detection methods.
Safe anomalies look strange but must be served normally. The Karate Man practices martial arts in front of your kiosk. The Drunk Guy arrives without cash. Michael Myers stands silently in a white mask. Rejecting any of these adds errors just like serving a dangerous entity. Our safe anomalies guide explains each harmless oddball.
Special anomalies follow unique rules documented on the wall of your kiosk. The Smiling Man wants a soda and gives you a sealed envelope. The Faceless Man must be served without looking at the hole where his face should be. Mishandling special customers can trigger hidden endings. See the special anomalies walkthrough for detailed protocols.

Cross-Reference Guides
Deepen your knowledge with our specialized pages. The CCTV detection tutorial teaches the four-camera-check workflow that separates experienced players from beginners. Environmental threats like moaning meat and the 2 AM Inspection are covered in our events section, since they are not customer anomalies but still end runs if mishandled.
For shift planning, use our interactive anomaly checklist to track which entities you have encountered across multiple nights. Pair it with the error tracker tool to monitor your mistake count in real time during a shift.
Progression and Difficulty Scaling
Anomaly spawn rates increase as you complete more shifts. Early nights introduce a manageable mix of obvious threats and normal customers. Later shifts flood your window with subtle anomalies that differ only on CCTV night vision — the exact type that punishes players who skip camera checks. Experienced players develop muscle memory: customer arrives, check Camera 1, toggle night vision, check Camera 2, toggle night vision, then decide.
The in-game corruption shop offers a Show Anomaly scan that reveals whether a customer is dangerous. However, each purchase allows only one scan. Relying on CCTV skills rather than paid scans is essential for achieving the Perfect Ending with zero mistakes.
