The Complete Roblox Anomaly Games List — Timeline, Stats & What Comes Next

Roblox's anomaly-horror wave looks chaotic from the feed — a new night-shift sim every week. It is actually a clean, fast story: one template, refined by seven games in under three years, each one bigger than the last. This page is the full timeline with sourced numbers for every entry, plus our labeled-as-opinion forecast of where it goes next. Independent coverage; not affiliated with Roblox or any creator. Stats marked with a check date move fast — treat them as snapshots.

The Timeline

December 2023 — Anomaly Watch (Bachibo / punitto)

Status: ✅ verified (Rolimons, checked July 28, 2026)

The genre's Roblox pioneer, built on The Mandela Catalogue and I'm on Observation Duty DNA: patrol a rural house (later a church), report deviations, never report the unreportable. 34.4M visits, 87.1% approval, all-time peak 3,976 CCU (April 1, 2024). A cult classic by 2026 standards — and the proof the observation formula could live on Roblox two years before the wave. Deep dive →

August 25, 2025 — Scary Shawarma Kiosk: the ANOMALY (kharbor_ykt)

Status: ✅ verified (Roblox Wiki creation date; site-verified stats)

The blueprint: one kiosk, one counter, two cameras, sixteen documented anomalies, and an inspector creature that rises out of the floor with every mistake. Created by verified developer kharbor_ykt on August 25, 2025 (per the Roblox Wiki — some older posts cite 2024, but the wiki's date is the one we can source), it crossed ~1.25 billion plays, ran a two-week Global Update in early February 2026, and taught the platform that anomaly horror is a job simulator wearing a horror mask.

~November 2025 — Terminal 13: Not Human (Dread Forge)

Status: ✅ verified (Rolimons, checked early August 2026)

The identity-check branch: scan passports at a haunted terminal, decide who is not human, survive the consequences. Created ~9 months before our check; 108.2M visits, 88.75% approval, all-time peak 36,389 CCU (November 30, 2025); Chapter 2 "Second Shift" (roadside checkpoint, multi-passenger checks) shipped around December 2025 per Pro Game Guides. A Steam listing with a live demo exists, though we could not verify it as an official port. Full guide →

~December 2025 — Scary Grocery: The Night Shift (Moo Milk Studio)

Status: ✅ verified (Rolimons, checked early August 2026)

The Shawarma lineage's second confirmed hit: same serve-and-screen loop, grocery-store skin. 89.3M visits, 87.6% approval, all-time peak 13,243 CCU (June 15, 2026), still ~4K concurrent in August with weekly updates. The genre's first successful second act for a formula. Listed in our new drops →

~February 2026 — Night At The Infirmary (Anomaly) (A.D. Games)

Status: ✅ verified (Rolimons, checked August 3–4, 2026)

The current riser: infirmary night-shift anomaly screening, 24.9M visits, 89.3% approval, and an all-time record of 14,597 CCU set within hours of our check, with ~12,450 players online and an update landing the same week. Six months old and still compounding — the best live example of how this genre grows. Covered here →

May 4, 2026 — Home Alone (Anomaly) (3 AM Productions & Freeground)

Status: ✅ verified (Roblox API creation date; multiple guides)

The TikTok bomb. Created May 4, exploded mid-to-late July: 54.8M visits, ~26–27K CCU, 94.9% approval, 22 anomalies, UPDATE 2 (July 30: chores + console), character event teased for August 6, and the most-asked question in the genre — the still-unverified Ending 4. The highest approval rating on this list. Full endings library →

May 10, 2026 — Animal Hospital (Anomaly) (Roytt & the Animal Anomaly team)

Status: ✅ verified (Roblox Wiki; site-verified stats)

The ceiling-breaker, explicitly inspired by Shawarma Kiosk per the Roblox Wiki: four parallel anomaly channels layered over real veterinary work. ~1.6 billion plays, ~286K CCU at peak — not just the biggest anomaly game, one of the biggest experiences on Roblox, period. Full anomaly catalog →

What the Numbers Say

Three patterns jump out of the table:

• Each hit raised the genre's ceiling roughly 10×. Anomaly Watch peaked at ~4K CCU; Terminal 13 at ~36K; the July 2026 tier runs 14–286K.
• Updates beat launches. The August 2026 record-setters (Night At The Infirmary, Scary Grocery) are months old; Anomaly Watch trended in July without updating. Retention is the currency.
• The formula travels jobs, not mechanics. Kiosk → hospital → home → terminal → infirmary → grocery. The mechanic barely changes; the workplace does.

What Comes Next (Opinion, Labeled)

Our forecast — clearly ours, not sourced:

1. The mundane-jobs gold rush continues: gas stations, hotels, transit, schools — any night shift with a counter.
2. Event-driven updates decide winners: Home Alone's August 6 character event is the template; expect monthly cadence across the top tier.
3. A real Steam crossing lands within the year: Terminal 13's demo suggests Roblox hits will chase the Exit 8 audience off-platform.
4. Console follows console support: Home Alone's UPDATE 2 opened the door (literally, on July 30); the next hit will launch console-day-one.

FAQs

Why isn't every Roblox horror game on this list? Criteria: the core loop must be spot-the-deviation or identity-screening. Chase games and story horror are covered in our genre hub instead.

Do these games have codes? Not any verified ones — the pattern holds across the list; see our Home Alone codes check.

Where do I start? Shawarma for the mildest entry, Home Alone for the viral one, our free browser demos (Spot the Anomaly, Night Visitor) for zero-install.

Bottom Line

Seven games, three years, from 4K to 286K CCU: the Roblox anomaly wave is the fastest genre evolution the platform has run since obbies. This page updates as the timeline grows — the next entry is probably being built tonight, on a night shift, somewhere.
