Understanding Anomalies in Scary Shawarma Kiosk
Keeping an eye out for all the Scary Shawarma Kiosk anomalies is a tricky task! However, the more you play, the more you'll get used to how normal customers behave. The key to survival is learning to distinguish between regular customers who are just a bit odd and actual dangerous entities that pose a threat to your life.
Anomalies can manifest in various ways: through appearance, behavior, environmental changes, or strange orders. This guide will break down each detection method to help you identify threats before they become dangerous.
Appearance-Based Detection

Take note of the appearance of customers. If they look a little unusual and have unique features that don't seem quite right, there's a huge chance that they are an entity. If so, you need to close the shutter on them immediately.
Visual Warning Signs
- Distorted Proportions: Arms, legs, or body parts that are abnormally long or misshapen
- White or Glowing Eyes: Eyes that are completely white, glowing, or missing entirely
- Extra Limbs: More than two arms or legs, or limbs in wrong locations
- Unnatural Features: Faces that are distorted, missing features, or have unusual characteristics
- Creature Attachments: Customers with creatures attached to their back or body
- Color Abnormalities: Skin colors that are unnatural (green, pale, or otherworldly)
Be careful, though, as some entities can look incredibly similar to regular customers, so even the slightest difference in appearance can be noticeable. Always trust your instincts—if something looks off, it probably is.
Behavior-Based Detection

A regular customer will behave a certain way, whereas an entity will act strangely. Keep a close eye on how each customer behaves to get an idea of what 'normal' behavior is.
Behavioral Red Flags
- Cryptic Dialogue: Speech that is difficult to understand, unintelligible, or nonsensical
- Unnatural Movements: Twitching, jerky motions, or movements that defy physics
- Aggressive Behavior: Sudden anger, screaming, or threatening gestures
- Transformation: Customers who change appearance or morph into creatures
- Disappearing Acts: Customers who vanish when you look away or use CCTV
- Unusual Requests: Demands that don't make sense or violate normal ordering patterns
Some normal customers can act strangely, such as the woman who dances at the kiosk. While her behavior is slightly odd, she's not an entity. In cases like this, you need to pay attention to other possible anomalies to make your final determination.
Environmental Changes as Warning Signs
One of the main signals that an entity is close by is if the environment starts to change in unusual ways. These environmental anomalies often precede or accompany entity appearances.
Environmental Warning Signs
- Light Flickering: Lights start to flicker or dim when an entity is nearby
- Screen Static: Static may appear across your screen, indicating entity presence
- Increased Glitches: More visual glitches and distortions than normal
- Texture Distortion: Textures become distorted or warped
- Object Movement: Objects start to move with no explanation
- Sound Anomalies: Unusual sounds, whispers, or voices from nowhere
- Difficulty Increase: Tasks become harder to complete when entities are present
The presence of an entity can also activate events and increase the difficulty of completing your usual tasks. If you notice multiple environmental changes at once, be extra cautious.
Using CCTV for Anomaly Detection
The CCTV camera system is your most reliable tool for detecting anomalies before they reach your window. Always check cameras before opening the serving window.
CCTV Detection Techniques
- Night Vision Check: If a customer disappears off-screen as soon as you turn night vision on, beware—they're likely an entity
- CCTV Malfunction: If you're unable to use the CCTV for a period of time, the current customer is most likely an entity
- Transformation on Camera: Watch for customers who transform or change appearance when viewed through CCTV
- Multiple Figures: Seeing two figures when there should be one customer
- Show Anomaly Feature: Use the "Show Anomaly" boost if available to confirm suspicions
Never skip the camera check, even if you're in a hurry. The few seconds it takes to verify a customer can save your life.
Strange Orders as Anomaly Indicators
If any orders come through that are out of the norm, there's a chance that the customer is an entity. This can be tricky to spot sometimes, but unusual orders often indicate something is wrong.
Suspicious Order Patterns
- "Not Grilled" Requests: Customers demanding food that's "not grilled" when grilling is standard
- Impossible Combinations: Orders that don't make logical sense
- Repeated Demands: Customers who keep asking for the same thing in different ways
- Threatening Language: Orders that include threats or disturbing comments
- Time-Sensitive Demands: Extreme urgency that seems unnatural
If the order is weird in any way, close the shutter just in case. It's better to miss a sale than to serve an entity.
Common Anomaly Types to Recognize
Throughout your shifts, you'll encounter various types of anomalies. Here are the most common ones:
Anomaly 01: Santa/Skeletal Entity
Appears as a Santa-like figure but transforms into a skeletal entity under surveillance. Always check with CCTV before serving.
Anomaly 02: Green-Skinned Creature
A green-skinned creature that climbs the refrigerator and falls, leaving a viscous mess. Keep refrigerator door closed when possible.
Anomaly 03: Floating Figure
A floating, human-like figure observed on the ceiling. If you see this, be extremely cautious and check all customers carefully.
Anomaly 04: Monstrous Maw
A massive, fleshy, monstrous maw that appears to consume the ceiling, emitting deep, guttural growls. This is one of the most dangerous internal anomalies.
The Inspector (Anomaly 08)
A towering figure with glowing red eyes and no face. He demands a "warm again" shawarma and appears inside the shop. This is the most dangerous anomaly—avoid at all costs.
Pre-Service Anomaly Detection Checklist
- Check CCTV cameras before opening the window
- Observe customer appearance for any abnormalities
- Listen to their speech patterns and behavior
- Watch for environmental changes (flickering lights, static)
- Evaluate their order for anything unusual
- Use "Show Anomaly" feature if available and suspicious
- If ANY red flag appears, close the shutter immediately
- Wait for the threat to pass before reopening
