Surviving a shift in Spuddy’s Anomaly isn’t just about serving customers—it’s about spotting dangerous anomalies before they cause chaos. Most anomalies disguise themselves as normal customers, but if one manages to sit down and finish its meal, it will begin attacking nearby diners, making your job much harder.
This guide explains every known anomaly type, how to recognize them, and the safest way to deal with each one.
How to Identify All Anomalies in Spuddy’s Anomaly (Complete Guide)
Throughout your shift, strange entities can appear inside the diner. Your objective is to identify them before they are served.
If an anomaly:
- Reaches a table
- Eats its food
- Remains inside the restaurant
it can attack customers and create dangerous situations.
Always inspect customers carefully before accepting their order.
All Anomaly Types
Camera Anomaly
The Camera Anomaly looks almost identical to an ordinary customer.
However, its true appearance is only visible through the restaurant’s security cameras.
How to Identify
- Appears normal in person
- Looks suspicious or distorted on security camera footage
How to Deal With It
- Check the security cameras regularly.
- If you notice an abnormal appearance, immediately close the order counter shutter.
- Do not serve the customer.
- Wait until it leaves.
Mimic
The Mimic is one of the most dangerous anomalies in the game.
Unlike other anomalies that simply wait at the counter, Mimics actively roam around the diner and hunt the player.
How to Identify
- Moves freely throughout the restaurant
- Begins chasing you once it notices you
What It Does
- Follows the player
- Attacks when it gets close
- Drains your Energy
How to Defeat It
Use the Baseball Bat to hit the Mimic.
Doing so will:
- Make it disappear
- Potentially unlock the Time to Fight Back Badge
Face Anomaly
Face Anomalies are much easier to recognize because their faces look unnatural.
Common Signs
- Scratched face
- Distorted facial features
- Cartoon-like appearance
How to Deal With It
- Close the service shutter.
- Refuse to serve it.
- Wait until it walks away.
Physical Mutation Anomalies
Some anomalies don’t try to hide their appearance very well.
Instead, they have obvious physical mutations.
Things to Look For
- Extremely tall body
- Twisted or distorted limbs
- Large black tentacles growing from their back
How to Deal With Them
You have two options:
- Close the order counter shutter.
- Hit them with the Baseball Bat to scare them away.
Entity Anomaly
Entities behave differently from every other anomaly.
Instead of pretending to be customers, they appear around furniture inside the diner.
Sometimes they:
- Hide beneath tables
- Transform into tables themselves
How to Identify
- Dark shadow surrounding a table
- Black danger zone appears around the Entity
What Happens
Walking into the dark area causes you to lose 20% of your Energy.
How to Deal With It
- Stay outside the dark zone.
- Wait until the Entity disappears.
- Continue serving customers afterward.
Best Tips for Spotting Anomalies
To survive longer, make these habits part of every shift:
- Frequently check the security cameras.
- Look closely at every customer’s face.
- Watch for unusual body shapes or extra limbs.
- Keep your Baseball Bat nearby for Mimics.
- Never enter an Entity’s dark danger zone.
- Close the service shutter immediately if you’re unsure about a customer.
It’s better to reject one suspicious customer than accidentally let an anomaly inside.
Which Anomalies Are the Most Dangerous?
Based on their behavior, the biggest threats are:
- Mimic – Can chase and attack you directly.
- Entity – Drains your Energy if you enter its area.
- Camera Anomaly – Easy to miss unless you regularly check the cameras.
Learning to identify these quickly will greatly improve your survival rate.
Recognizing anomalies is the key to surviving in Spuddy’s Anomaly. While some are easy to spot thanks to their distorted appearance, others require careful observation or regular camera checks. Keep your shutter ready, carry your Baseball Bat for aggressive threats like Mimics, and avoid Entity danger zones whenever they appear. With enough practice, you’ll be able to identify every anomaly before it has a chance to harm your customers and complete much longer shifts successfully.
