Night & anomalies

From 8:00 p.m. to about 8:00 a.m., anomalies interrupt the fry shop. Get inside, close the shutter, answer event prompts, and hold until morning.

Automate the kitchen on the beginner guide. Use classes for cash and survival bonuses.

Clock, darkening, shutter, event responses, morning.

Watch the in-game clock. Night begins around 8:00 p.m. on the shop clock, not your real-world timer.
Treat outdoor darkening as an alarm. If a dark filter covers the screen outside, stop lingering and return to the kitchen.
Close the shutter immediately. When a dark figure reaches the service window, use the highlighted control (often left of the window) or the Emergency control. Follow the on-screen Close the shutter prompt.
Answer each night prompt. Run inside, scare potato monsters, free stuck robots, or fix power as the game labels them. Keep frying indoors when it is safe.
Hold until morning. Shop opens around 8:00 a.m. Claim the free upgrade or perk, then resume outdoor work carefully.

In-game clock cues, not real-time minutes.

Clock	Phase	What happens
8:00 a.m.	Morning	Street shop opens; night ends; free upgrade or perk choice.
Daytime	Selling hours	Automate, sell, search piles, watch cars when crossing.
8:00 p.m.	Night start	Anomalies can appear; outdoor darkening is the warning.
Overnight	Night phase	Stay mostly inside; answer event prompts; later nights can feel heavier.

Named night events and what to do when they hit.

Anomaly	What happens	Response
Window Anomaly	A dark figure or distorted customer appears at the service window and can eat fries if they reach the counter.	Close the shutter immediately. Do not serve distorted faces. A loaded Fries Shooter can drive them off.
Outdoor darkening	After 8 p.m., a dark filter gradually covers the screen while you are outside.	Return indoors and stay there. Lingering invites a chase.
RUN INSIDE!	A prompt warns you while a shadowy entity closes in outdoors.	Enter the kitchen quickly and stay away from the doors for a few seconds.
Potato-eating Monster	A creature munches potatoes on the conveyor or pile.	Hold interact to scare it off, or use a Flamethrower if you own one.
THE GIANT!	A huge monster across the street casts damaging beams marked by ground circles.	Finish outdoor tasks between casts and dodge out of any circle you stand in.
Power out	Lights and machines die; income stops until power returns.	Fix the lit exterior fuse box with the color-matching wire puzzle. Wait for POWER BACK!
Stuck Robot Helper	A robot freezes and stops hauling.	Interact with the robot to free it and resume automation.

Potato-eating Monster on the conveyor. Hold interact to Scare Away.

Power out. Match wire colors on the fuse box until POWER BACK returns.

Optional night skip and daily free picks.

The shop Clock (street shop item) skips night straight to morning so free upgrades arrive sooner.
It is not the same as the wall clock that triggers 8 p.m.
No fixed price is printed here. Read the live card before you buy.
A Clock will not save you from an encounter already in progress.

Surviving a night unlocks a morning PERKS menu labeled NEW PERK EVERY MORNING.
Seen picks include Bigger Bag (carry more), Growing Cash (+% each day), Robot Boss (robots faster), Walk Faster, Sticky Hands, Night Bonus, and Tough but Slow.
A CURSED slot can appear (example: Fast but Poor: walk faster, earn less cash). The button reads TAKE IT instead of PICK.
Reroll costs Robux when offered. Active perks show under YOUR PERKS.

Not always. Getting inside and shutting the shutter is still the main defense.

Both show up depending on the build. Follow the control and prompt next to your window.

Yes. Many runs keep frying and serving indoors while anomalies play out outside or at the window.

Later nights can feel busier with more ghosts. There is no fixed schedule published in-game.
