Phone System & Secret Numbers - Complete Guide to All Easter Eggs

The wall-mounted phone in your shawarma stand serves multiple purposes throughout your shifts. At the start of each night, the phone guy calls to explain the specific rules you must follow. But the phone isn't just for receiving calls - you can also dial numbers to access special features and discover hidden content.

Location: The phone is mounted on the wall near your work station. You can interact with it at any time during normal nights.

Important Note: The phone system is disabled during special event nights like Halloween. During these events, you cannot make or receive regular phone calls.

One of the most valuable features of the phone system is the one-time save function. This feature allows you to save your progress mid-run, giving you a safety net if you die later.

How to Use the Save System:

1. First Call: During your shift, call the special save number that the phone guy mentions in his instructions. When you call, he'll ask if you really want to save your current progress.

2. Confirmation Call: Call the same number a second time. This confirms your decision and saves your exact position in the game.

3. Death Recovery: If you die after saving, click the 'Revive' button. You'll continue from the exact point where you saved.

Important Limitations:

Strategic Use: Don't waste your save early. Wait until you've made significant progress through a difficult night before using it. This way, if you die to a late-game mechanic, you won't have to restart from the beginning.

The most famous secret number in Road-Side Shawarma is 1987, which unlocks one of the rarest badges in the game.

How to Get the Badge:

1. Play until you reach Night 2
2. Go to the phone on the wall
3. Dial the number 1987
4. Listen to the response
5. Receive the 'Call of Eighty Seven' badge

What It References:

This is an easter egg referencing the famous 'Bite of 87' from Five Nights at Freddy's, a pivotal event in that game's lore. The developer nv1sh included this as a playful homage to one of the most iconic horror games that inspired Road-Side Shawarma.

Badge Rarity:

Despite being labeled 'Impossible' rarity (0.0% of players), the badge is actually quite easy to obtain once you know the secret. The difficulty comes from discovering the number on your own. Now that you know, you can add this rare badge to your collection!

Another secret number to try is 1304, which plays a mysterious secret message.

How to Access:

1. Use the phone during any regular night (not event nights)
2. Dial 1304
3. Listen carefully to the secret message

What You'll Hear:

The exact content of the message varies, but it contains hidden lore about the shawarma stand and hints about the true nature of your job. This is pure easter egg content for players interested in the game's deeper story.

No Badge Required: Unlike 1987, calling 1304 doesn't unlock a badge - it's simply for players who want to discover all the game's secrets and learn more about the mysterious world of Road-Side Shawarma.

Not every secret in Road-Side Shawarma is meant to be found - some are deliberately deceptive!

The Joke:

Players have spent time searching for the meaning of 1-801, trying to dial it, looking for clues, and theorizing about what it might unlock. According to the developer, this is intentional - 1-801 is a joke number designed to waste players' time.

Developer's Intent:

nv1sh confirmed in the Discord that 1-801 "is just a joke to waste time" - there's nothing actually there! It's a playful troll for players who spend too much time hunting for every possible secret.

The Lesson: Not every number or clue in the game leads somewhere. Sometimes the journey of searching is part of the fun, even if the destination doesn't exist. Don't spend hours trying to unlock something from 1-801 - it's meant to be a humorous dead end.

Beyond the confirmed secret numbers, there may be other hidden phone numbers waiting to be discovered. Here are some suggestions for experimental players:

Numbers to Experiment With:

How to Test:

1. Make sure you're on a regular night (not an event)
2. Have a notepad ready to record results
3. Try each number systematically
4. Listen carefully to any response
5. Check if you receive any badges
6. Share discoveries with the community on Discord

Community Collaboration:

While secret numbers are fun, never forget the phone's primary purpose: receiving critical survival instructions.

Night Start Calls:

At the beginning of each night, the phone guy calls to explain:

Why Players Die:

According to the developer, one of the biggest mistakes players make is not listening to the phone guy's full instructions. Many players:

Developer's Note: nv1sh mentioned in Discord that "it's my mistake, I should not give all the information at the start since 90% will not listen to this" and plans to improve the tutorial system in future updates.

Best Practice:

The phone system is not available during all game modes.

Disabled During:

Why It's Disabled:

Event nights have their own unique rules and mechanics that don't require the standard phone system. The phone guy's regular instructions don't apply, and the save feature would make events too easy.

What to Do Instead:

During events, pay attention to:

Remember: Even without the phone, the core survival principles remain - observe, follow rules, and react to threats appropriately.
