Top 10 Anomaly Detection Tips

Introduction

Detecting anomalies is the core skill in Scary Shawarma Kiosk. After countless nights at the kiosk, we've compiled the most effective strategies for identifying supernatural occurrences.

1. Trust Your Eyes

Visual anomalies are the most common type. Look for:

• Subtle movements in peripheral vision
• Objects changing position
• Unusual lighting conditions
• Shadow discrepancies

2. Listen Carefully

Audio cues often precede visual manifestations:

• Footsteps with no source
• Whispering voices
• Equipment malfunctions
• Temperature changes

3. Use the Inspector Tool

The Inspector tool is your best friend:

Equip Inspector → Right Click → Analyze

This reveals hidden properties of objects and can expose disguised anomalies.

4. Establish a Baseline

At the start of each shift, mentally catalog:

• Customer behavior patterns
• Equipment locations
• Lighting conditions
• Sound environment

Any deviation from this baseline could indicate an anomaly.

5. Document Everything

Keeping records helps identify patterns:

- Time of occurrence
- Type of anomaly
- Duration
- Effect on gameplay

6. Work in Zones

Divide the kiosk into zones and check them systematically:

1. Front Counter - Customer interactions
2. Kitchen Area - Equipment and ingredients
3. Storage Room - Inventory and back door
4. Outdoor Area - Surroundings and customers

7. Watch Customer Reactions

Customers often notice anomalies before you do:

• Nervous behavior
• Refusing to enter
• Pointing at nothing
• Sudden departures

8. Monitor Equipment

Malfunctioning equipment often indicates supernatural activity:

• Grill temperature fluctuations
• Cash register errors
• Flickering lights
• Radio interference

9. Check Reflections

Anomalies sometimes only appear in reflections:

• Mirrors
• Windows
• Metal surfaces
• Puddles

10. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels wrong, it probably is:

• "The hair standing up on your neck"
• "A sense of being watched"
• "Unexplainable dread"

These intuitive responses are often your first warning sign.

Conclusion

Master these techniques and you'll become an expert anomaly detector in no time. Remember: stay alert, trust your senses, and survive the night.
