Items can be sold back to the shop for half of the initial amount of Souls spent on them, or entirely refunded if the player has not left the shop area after first purchasing an item, freeing up item slots for the player.

* The side shops had wheels and tracks leading to each team's base, indicating that at one point in development they were supposed to move along the lanes. This was changed after the [[Map Rework]] update.
* Before the {{Update link|October|2|2025}} update, Secret Shops temporarily closed when players from both teams were nearby.
* The shape of the shop's minimap icon is more reminiscient of its [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']] design.
* The ''Team Fortress 2'' community map [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Freaky_Fair Freaky Fair], released in the 2024 Scream Fortress update, has a parody of the Curiosity Shop called the "Upgrade Station", with [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Merasmus Merasmus] as the Shopkeeper.
