Road-Side Shawarma Survival Guide - How to Stay Alive & Beat Every Night

Before diving into specific strategies, memorize these unbreakable rules that apply to EVERY night:

The Survival Mindset

The game is designed to make you panic. Resist it. Every death has a cause:

• You broke a rule
• You missed an instruction
• You panicked and made an error

Once you accept that rules = survival, the game becomes manageable.

1. Master Phone Guy's Instructions

The phone guy calls at the start of each night with CRITICAL information. Missing even one detail can kill you.

How to Listen Effectively:

• Stop what you're doing when phone rings
• Listen to the ENTIRE message
• Mentally repeat key rules to yourself
• If playing with friends, summarize rules aloud

2. Learn the Kitchen Layout

Before your first customer, know these locations by heart:

3. Perfect Your Throwing

Accuracy when throwing food to customers is crucial:

• Stand close to service window
• Aim directly at the customer
• Release at the right moment
• Practice during Night 1 when stakes are lower

Pro Tip: "You Make It, I Throw It" Strategy

In multiplayer, the most efficient workflow is to have one player prepare food while another throws:

1. Prep player stays at ingredient station, makes shawarmas rapidly
2. Throw player stays at window, receives and throws orders
3. This division of labor can nearly double your service speed
4. Especially useful during Night 3 when chaos peaks

Overview

Night 1 is your training ground. Master it completely before moving on.

Threats & Solutions

Step-by-Step Survival

Phase 1: Setup (First 60 seconds)

1. Look around and memorize kitchen layout
2. Locate back door (CRITICAL for later)
3. Grab 2-3 Bloxy Colas from fridge
4. Place them near service window

Phase 2: Customer Service

1. Customer arrives at window
2. Read order on display board
3. Get lavash from stack
4. Add correct ingredients
5. Wrap the shawarma
6. Throw to customer
7. Repeat for 5-7 customers

Phase 3: Strange Person Event

1. Recognize the distorted customer
2. Make their food order as displayed
3. ADD BLOXY COLA (this is mandatory!)
4. Serve both food and drink
5. They leave peacefully

Phase 4: Power Outage

1. Lights go completely dark
2. Navigate to back door (you memorized this!)
3. Exit to backyard
4. Find fuse box on wall
5. Interact and flip switches
6. Lights restore
7. Return inside immediately

Common Night 1 Deaths

• Forgetting Bloxy Cola for strange person
• Taking too long outside during power outage
• Serving wrong ingredient combinations

Overview

Night 2 introduces memory challenges and time-sensitive calls. Preparation is key.

Threats & Solutions

Pre-Shift Preparation

Before customers arrive:

1. Find the poster with phone number - This number saves your life
2. Prepare note-taking method - Paper, screenshot, or chat
3. Have extra Bloxy Colas ready
4. Clear your workspace

The Sibling Challenge (Most Important!)

First Sibling:

1. Customer arrives (may have distinctive look)
2. Read their order CAREFULLY
3. WRITE IT DOWN - Screenshot, paper, or type in chat
4. Make and serve the order correctly
5. Say the order out loud several times

Between Siblings:

• Other customers will arrive
• Serve them normally
• Keep reviewing the sibling order in your mind

Second Sibling:

1. Similar-looking customer arrives
2. Order display is BLANK - This is intentional
3. Recall the first sibling's order from memory
4. Make the EXACT same order
5. Serve with confidence

Memory Techniques:

• Create acronym: "CLT" for Chicken-Lettuce-Tomato
• Visualize the order in your mind
• Repeat it rhythmically
• Use a phrase: "Chicken Likes Tomato Bloxy"

Trash Bag Man Protocol

Recognition: Customer carrying visible trash bag

Response (Time-Critical):

1. SEE trash bag → STOP everything
2. Run to phone
3. Dial the number from poster
4. Complete the call
5. Return to service

CRITICAL: Call BEFORE making his order. Don't serve first!

Meat Trompo Event

Signs: Meat spinning abnormally, strange sounds

Response:

1. DROP whatever you're doing
2. Run to back door
3. Exit to backyard
4. Wait until lights stabilize
5. Return inside
6. Resume service

Overview

Night 3 combines ALL previous mechanics plus deadly new threats. This is the ultimate test.

Threats & Solutions

The Ceiling Drip Rule

When you see/hear dripping from ceiling:

1. IMMEDIATELY point camera DOWN
2. Look at floor or straight ahead
3. Continue working (you know ingredient locations)
4. DO NOT look up out of curiosity
5. Wait for dripping to stop completely
6. Only then resume normal camera movement

Why players die: Human curiosity. Resist it!

The Ghost Hiding Protocol

When lights flicker in distinct pattern (different from power outage):

1. Recognize the pattern - It's unique, you'll know
2. Sprint to middle table - Speed matters
3. Get under the table - Crouch position
4. Hold SPACE BAR - This closes your eyes
5. DO NOT RELEASE - Even if you think it's over
6. Count to 10 after lights seem stable
7. Then release space bar
8. Exit from under table
9. Resume service

Common death: Releasing space bar too early. BE PATIENT.

Priority System for Multiple Events

Night 3 can throw multiple challenges at once. Here's how to prioritize:

Night 3 Success Checklist

✅ Know ALL previous night rules
✅ Memorize middle table location for hiding
✅ Practice holding space bar without peeking
✅ Master all ingredient locations (work without looking)
✅ Stay calm during multi-event scenarios
✅ Trust your training

Quick reference for every emergency situation:

💡 Power Outage (All Nights)

→ Back door → Fuse box → Flip switches → Return inside

🥩 Meat Trompo Moving (Night 2+)

→ Drop everything → Back door → Wait outside → Return when safe

💧 Ceiling Dripping (Night 3)

→ Camera DOWN → Continue working → Wait for dripping to stop

⚡ Lights Flickering/Ghost (Night 3)

→ Middle table → Get under → Hold SPACE → Wait → Release when 100% safe

🗑️ Trash Bag Man (Night 2+)

→ Recognize → Phone → Call number → Resume service

👥 Siblings (Night 2+)

→ First sibling: MEMORIZE order → Second sibling: REPEAT from memory

Playing with friends changes the dynamic entirely. Here's how to survive as a team:

Optimal Team Size

3 players is the sweet spot for coordination without chaos.

Role Assignment

Communication Protocol

Call out everything:

• "Sibling order: Chicken, Lettuce, Tomato, Bloxy!"
• "Trash bag man spotted!"
• "Lights flickering - everyone hide!"
• "I'll fix fuse box, cover for me!"
• "You make it, I throw it!" - Classic teamwork callout

The "You Make It, I Throw It" Strategy

The most efficient multiplayer strategy discovered by the community:

1. Maker stays at prep station, rapidly assembles shawarmas
2. Thrower stays at service window, catches and delivers orders
3. When Maker completes an order: "Go, go, go!"
4. Thrower aims and throws immediately
5. This can handle even the busiest Night 3 rushes

Multiplayer Advantages

• Split workload = less stress
• Backup if someone makes mistake
• Multiple eyes catch threats faster
• More fun and memorable experience

Multiplayer Challenges

• More people = more chaos
• Miscommunication can cause deaths
• Someone might break rules accidentally
• Harder to hear Phone Guy with chatter
