How The Alan Wake Event Works in Phasmophobia: Completing and Solving
The Alan Wake crossover event in Phasmophobia combines ghost hunting with a bizarre storytelling style, as if a ghost story was written after consuming too much coffee. The usual investigation maps have been transformed into strange, storybook-like versions, featuring shadowy figures, hidden glowing messages, and creepy dolls that make checking every room feel even more unsettling.

Inspired by Alan Wake, the event introduces new gameplay elements centered around Words of Power, Dark Presences, and a multi-stage doll puzzle in the lobby. Whether you’re aiming for Event Points, hunting for cosmetics, or trying to understand why a shadowy whispering figure is lurking in the farmhouse, there’s a lot happening during this crossover.

How the Alan Wake Event Works

The event takes place across themed versions of known investigation maps. Although the layouts mostly stay the same, each location contains unique objects tied to the event, such as Words of Power, Dark Presences, Dolls, and related puzzles.

Event maps include places like Oh Deer Diner, Cauldron Lake, Coffee World, and Elderwood Palace Lodge. These locations are marked on the Contract Voting board in the lobby by small notes on their top right corners of the map images.

During investigations, players can earn Event Points to progress both individually and in the community. Points only count if the contract is played on at least standard difficulty (x1.00 multiplier), meaning lower custom difficulty settings won’t award points.

Correctly identifying the ghost awards ten Event Points. Revealing Words of Power grants two points each, while banishing a Dark Presence awards two points per entity. Increasing difficulty modifiers boosts point gains, so difficult investigations are the fastest way to earn progress.

Rewards include reaching community points goals for a Manifestation ID Card and Badge, earning enough personal points to unlock the Angel Lamp Charm, revealing all 68 Words of Power to unlock Alan Wake’s Suit cosmetic set, and collecting dolls and solving lobby puzzles for Saga Anderson’s Outfit cosmetics.

What Are The Dark Presences?

Dark Presences appear as motionless shadowy figures scattered across the event maps. They emit whispering sounds that make them easier to find in quiet areas. To remove a Dark Presence, players must grab the Angel Lamp from the investigation truck’s monitor, then aim it at the figure. Holding the use button for several seconds causes the entity to be engulfed in a sparkly explosion of light, making it disappear. Maps can have up to about 20 Dark Presence spawns.

How Words Of Power Work

Words of Power are hidden phrases only revealed with a UV Light. While exploring, glowing yellow arrows appear when near a hidden word, leading players toward a spiral of glowing letters somewhere in the environment. Once found, shine the UV light directly onto the word; the darkness around the letters will fade, causing the word to vanish once fully revealed. When playing with friends, each player must reveal their own Word of Power, as progress doesn’t transfer between players. When a word is revealed by one player, it disappears for them but remains visible to others until they reveal it themselves.

How To Solve The Doll Puzzle

Across the themed maps, dolls are scattered, acting as collectibles or puzzle pieces needed for the final lobby challenge. They are usually hidden on shelves, inside tents, on desks, or in small corners, requiring careful exploration. The dolls used in the final puzzle are located near a collection of chalk drawings in the lobby, beside a central desk.

The puzzle involves placing specific dolls on matching chalk symbols across multiple stages:
- First stage: Place the Moose Doll on the Tree symbol, and the Deer Doll on the House symbol.
- Second stage: Place the Child Doll on the Sun, the Father Doll on the House, and the Old Man Doll on the Waves.
- Final stage: Place the Child Doll on the Tree, Princess Doll on the Eye, Father Doll on the Heart, and Jester Doll on the Sun.
Once completed, the puzzle resets with a new arrangement, requiring players to repeat the process for the next stage.

All Cursed Item Locations in Phasmophobia: Completing and Solving

How to Complete Cosmetics in Phasmophobia with Solving Strategies

In Phasmophobia, most players focus on surviving hunts, identifying ghosts, and avoiding being trapped in a room at a bad time. But between contracts, there’s a simple system of progression that many overlook: how your investigator looks.

Character customization allows you to stand out in the lobby, personalize your ghost hunter, and show off your efforts in the game. However, finding where everything is or understanding how it works can be confusing at first, since some options require a bit of effort to unlock. This guide covers everything you need to know to start customizing.

### How To Customize Your Character

To customize your character, go to the shop menu on the right side of the main lobby’s job board. This is your main hub for cosmetic changes. Inside the shop, you’ll find three main sections: character selection, outfit options, and your ID badge.

For character selection, you have 12 choices—six female characters and six male characters. Each character has a unique bio and name, giving them distinct personalities.

After choosing a character, you can add personal touches like changing hair color. There are also other cosmetic options, including jewelry and accessories.

Outfit customization offers even more choices. You can buy different clothing pieces, such as hats, jackets, shirts, and pants. You can mix and match these items to create your preferred style and choose different colors for them.

### How To Unlock Cosmetics

Unlocking cosmetics in Phasmophobia isn’t immediate; it requires some effort. Most items are bought directly from the shop, with prices usually starting around $5,000 to $10,000. That means you’ll need to spend time completing contracts and earning money to afford these upgrades.

Looking ahead, cosmetics won’t only be available through purchases. Upcoming events are expected to introduce new ways to unlock customization items by completing specific challenges associated with those events. These challenges will also apply to ID badges, giving you more ways to showcase your achievements beyond standard gameplay.

How to Find Krampus’ Presents in Phasmophobia’s Winter’s Jest 2025 Event

Winter in Phasmophobia tends to turn cozy nights into unsettling experiences, and Winter’s Jest 2025 is no different. As snow blankets haunted houses and familiar spots, Krampus makes a return to remind players that the holidays can be sinister.

This seasonal event adds a festive flair to ghost investigations. With maps rotating daily, special mechanics available only for a limited time, and a shared community progression, Winter’s Jest encourages players to do more than just identify and leave a ghost. This guide explains how the event integrates into your investigations, what to watch out for, and how to maximize the rewards at the end.

How does the Winter’s Jest event work?

Winter’s Jest is Phasmophobia’s holiday event from December 16th at noon GMT until January 6th at noon GMT. The event relies on collective community effort: every investigation completed on active event maps contributes toward unlocking special rewards for everyone.

During the event, only certain locations count, and these maps change daily. These snow-covered versions of familiar locations include Nell’s Diner, Tanglewood Drive, Ridgeview Court, Willow Street, Bleasdale Farmhouse, Maple Lodge Campsite, Camp Woodwind, and Point Hope. They are marked on the map as a red present icon.

You can replay the maps as many times as you want, and every successful investigation helps push the event’s progress forward.

While the main gameplay—finding the ghost, completing objectives, and surviving—stays the same, new mechanics are added. These include Krampus’ Presents and Jack-in-the-Boxes, which are directly tied to the event’s progression.

How to find Krampus’ presents?

At the start of each Winter’s Jest map, there’s a sack belonging to Krampus along with a Naughty and Nice list. The list features small icons representing presents hidden throughout the location.

Your goal is to find these presents during your investigation and toss the right ones into Krampus’ sack. Correct deliveries earn event points, which are tallied once the investigation ends. Presents are scattered across different rooms, and sometimes multiple copies of the same type appear in different spots.

Delivering the correct presents will reward you with a bonus investigation kit—such as incense or Sanity Pills.

It’s crucial to match the presents exactly to the list; placing the wrong item will anger Krampus. When that happens, the sack fills with coal and can no longer receive presents for the rest of the investigation.

Here are the possible presents around each map:

Krampus Present	Image	Description
Candy Cane		A classic holiday candy.
Elf Doll		A small doll resembling an elf.
Snowman		A snowy holiday figure.
Rocks		Small stones or pebbles.
Sticks		Pieces of wood or branches.
Coal		Coal, often associated with bad children.
Capybara		A small rodent, less typical but included.
Gingerbread		A festive cookie.
Christmas Tree		A decorated holiday tree.
Nutcracker		A traditional holiday figurine.
Deer		A symbolic holiday animal.
Stars		Decorative stars for the season.

Matching presents carefully is essential, as Krampus reacts negatively to wrong choices, filling his sack with coal, which then becomes unusable for the rest of that investigation.

What are Jack-in-the-Boxes?

Jack-in-the-Boxes appear as red boxes randomly spawning in Winter’s Jest maps—though they aren’t present in every investigation. Interacting with one starts a short, unpredictable countdown, during which the box may suddenly pop open, delivering a scare before vanishing. Successfully finishing the investigation without dying while a Jack-in-the-Box is active will earn you event points.

What are the event points and rewards?

Event points are the currency for Winter’s Jest progress, earned by correctly identifying the ghost, completing optional objectives, interacting with Jack-in-the-Boxes, delivering the right presents, and playing on higher difficulty levels.

You can check your points and progress on the Bulletin Board in the game’s lobby. Community points contribute toward shared rewards, unlocking goodies for everyone when enough points are reached. Personal progress tracks your individual contributions, unlocking extras like cosmetic upgrades and trophies.

The rewards for participating include the Winter’s Jest 2025 ID Card and an upgraded Foil ID Card, among other special collectibles.

How to Obtain the Moneybags ID Card and Badge in Phasmophobia Completing the game for the Moneybags ID and Badge

If you’ve ever finished a Phasmophobia investigation feeling like your wallet is emptier than your mind, then the Moneybags ID Card and Badge are proof that you’re not an amateur ghost hunter. These special rewards aren’t given out freely—you’ll need to demonstrate that you can earn and spend a significant amount of money in-game.

Luckily, there’s a straightforward way to earn this bragging right. Here’s what you need to do to turn your earned ghost money into one of the game’s top milestones and flaunt your wealth.

### How to Get the Moneybags ID Card and Badge

The Moneybags ID Card and Badge are symbols of your commitment to collecting and spending cash in-game. To unlock them, you must first complete the “Break the Bank” achievement. This requires earning and spending a total of $100,000 over the course of your investigations. It doesn’t need to be done all at once—the game tracks your progress cumulatively, so regular players who consistently finish contracts will eventually hit this goal.

Once you’ve achieved “Break the Bank,” the game will automatically award you the Moneybags Badge and ID card.

### Tips to Make Money Quickly

If you’re working toward that achievement, here are some effective ways to boost your income faster:

– Complete daily and weekly challenges, which can significantly increase your earnings.
– Always aim to finish any optional objectives listed on the whiteboard before leaving a contract. These bonus tasks often carry extra payouts, adding up over time.

### Why Didn’t I Receive the Moneybags Reward?

If you’ve met the requirements but the reward hasn’t appeared, you can try a few in-game actions to refresh your profile and trigger the reward:

1. Purchase a small item from the in-game shop.
2. Start a new contract.
3. Correctly identify the ghost type in your journal.
4. Leave the investigation via the truck.

Completing these steps should make your reward show up in your cosmetic inventory.

Blumhouse Is Making a Horror Film Adaptation of Phasmophobia

ALBAWABA – The renowned horror video game Phasmophobia, which captivated players upon its release by enabling ghost communication through microphone use, is set to be adapted into a feature film by the eminent Blumhouse Productions.

This announcement has ignited excitement among fans, especially considering Blumhouse’s impressive history of horror successes, like The Black Phone, M3GAN, and the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s adaptation, both of which will have sequels this year.

In collaboration with Atomic Monster and Kinetic Games, Blumhouse is moving forward with the film project, although a distributor has yet to be confirmed, as reported by Variety.

Phasmophobia is becoming a feature film courtesy of Blumhouse

Today we are excited to announce that a feature film adaptation of #Phasmophobia is officially in development by horror film powerhouse, @Blumhouse.https://t.co/KIU8CEPksd pic.twitter.com/EXLz5SxCVZ

— Phasmophobia (@PlayPhasmo) June 4, 2025

On its official X page (formerly Twitter), Phasmophobia announced, “We are thrilled to share that a feature film adaptation of #Phasmophobia is officially in the works, thanks to @Blumhouse.”

Fans took to social media expressing their anticipation, with one tweet stating, "Blumhouse + Phasmophobia = a perfect blend of horror!"

Another fan humorously added, "If the main character doesn't ask, 'Are you here, are you close? Are you pizza?' I'm not interested."

Launched on Valve’s Steam platform in 2020 amid the COVID-19 lockdown, Phasmophobia became a sensation thanks to its unique cooperative gameplay, which allowed groups of friends to connect through voice chat while exploring spooky locations and encountering supernatural beings.

According to Variety, over 23 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide, earning the title of "Best Debut Game" at The Game Awards in 2020.

This upcoming film represents Blumhouse's second live-action adaptation of a beloved horror game, following their adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's. Despite mixed reviews, that film achieved a remarkable $297.2 million in global box office revenue against a $20 million budget.

Unlocking the Secret Point Hope ID Card and Badge

In mid-2024, Kinetic Games expanded the world of Phasmophobia by unveiling Point Hope, introducing a challenging new puzzle. This involves igniting the lantern in the lighthouse, which rewards players with a unique ID card and badge to personalize their profiles. Since the game’s early access launch in 2020, new maps have been added for players to explore while hunting for ghosts, including locations like the Prison and Sunny Meadows Asylum. However, Point Hope stands out with its ten vertically stacked floors, presenting fresh challenges and untold secrets for ghost hunters to uncover.

In Phasmophobia, players earn ID cards and badges as rewards for finishing holiday events, reaching prestige levels, and assisting in game development. These ID cards allow players to see their character model, manage voice chat levels with others, and display information like player names, platforms, and levels. Badges can accompany ID cards to signify a player’s in-game role. To celebrate the launch of the new map, players who successfully solve the lantern puzzle at Point Hope will receive the exclusive Ferryman of the Drowned ID card and badge.

How to Acquire the Point Hope Hidden ID Card & Badge

Complete the Puzzle to Uncover a New Style

To solve the Point Hope Lighthouse puzzle in Phasmophobia and earn the Ferryman of the Drowned ID Card and Badge, players should start by launching an investigation on the Point Hope map. There’s no need to identify the ghost or complete the investigation. It may be wise to choose a custom difficulty where the ghost can’t initiate hunts, and the power is turned on, providing sufficient light for navigation. Experienced ghost hunters can tackle the puzzle during an active ghost investigation, regardless of the difficulty setting.

Most of the items needed to complete the puzzle can be found within the lighthouse. However, players must come equipped with a UV lamp, which is essential for finishing the puzzle. It doesn’t matter which tier of UV lamp they bring, as all three versions available for purchase in the game will suffice. Players should also have at least one empty slot in their inventory.

Step 1: Play a Game of Pool

Once at Point Hope with a UV lamp ready, head to the fourth floor of the lighthouse, which features a games room complete with a billiards table. On the wall next to the stairs, observe the three seashell paintings that stand out against the rest of the decor. From left to right, the shells are green, blue, and orange, serving as the first clue. This correlates with the pool balls players must sink in the corresponding color and order into the billiards table pockets.

Using an empty inventory slot (Default E on PC), players don’t have to use a cue stick. Instead, they can pick up the pool balls in color order and toss them into any hole (Default G on PC). For optimal results, aim for a hole across the table and throw slightly higher to give the ball some lift.

If done correctly, a clinking sound signals that players will find the Lantern Cabinet Key inside the ball box on the billiards table. This key is essential for progressing further in the puzzle. Like car keys in Phasmophobia’s small house maps, the Lantern Cabinet Key will show up in the player’s journal beside the building key.

Step 2: Fix the Lantern Cabinet Gears

Next, ascend to the eighth floor of Point Hope, depicted as a workshop. Players will discover a gear leaning against a cabinet near the workbench littered with paintbrushes and a spilled can of red paint. Collect the gear and proceed to the ninth floor, where a locked wooden cabinet sits with a rusty gear on top, creating a dead end around the staircase.

Unlock the cabinet using the key obtained earlier and place the gear into the empty socket. Players will hear three cracking sounds as the gears start to turn.

Step 3: Ring the Bell

Next, head back to the first floor and exit the building. Outside, you’ll find a large bell at the front of Point Hope. To continue, players must ring this bell three times, approaching it and pressing the Primary Use button (Default left-click on PC). A hissing sound will indicate that this step has been successfully completed.

Step 4: Illuminate the Lamp

Proceed back up to the tenth floor of Point Hope and step out onto the balcony. From this vantage point, look for the fire near some rocks in the distance which reveals the letters “UV” written in the sand.

Return inside the lighthouse and shine your UV lamp on the large lantern in the middle of the room until it glows purple. Afterward, go outside again to witness UV-lit figures floating in the water, highlighted by the lantern’s illumination. This effect will persist until you exit the game.

When you return to the lobby, a notification will pop up stating Level Up! Unlocks: Ferryman of the Drowned. Click Accept to confirm and continue your game.

Changing Your ID Card and Badge Designs

Modify Styles from the Main Menu or Lobby

Like other ID cards and badges earned in Phasmophobia through prestige levels or seasonal events, the Ferryman of the Drowned Hidden ID Card and Badge carries no gameplay benefits.

This is purely a cosmetic upgrade, which players can choose to toggle on or off based on their preference. The same applies to the visual effect of floating corpses at Point Hope, which doesn’t influence gameplay.

To set the Ferryman of the Drowned ID Card and Badge, select the bulletin board from either the Main Menu or the lobby and click on the Edit button located in the upper-right corner of your player ID card.

Scroll through Special Badges until you find and select Ferryman of the Drowned. Then choose Ferryman of the Drowned under ID Card Theme. Press X in the ID card’s corner to confirm the changes and exit the Edit menu.

There’s also an additional ID Card and Badge reward associated with Point Hope in Phasmophobia. However, acquiring this one requires simply playing on Point Hope and identifying the ghost correctly 50 times. Successfully doing this will unlock the Lighthouse Keeper Special Badge and ID Card Theme.

Top Tactics for Navigating Medium-Sized Maps
Quick Links
Top Strategies for Navigating Medium Maps
Phasmophobia features 12 maps of different sizes. Often, players see a Daily Task prompting them to explore a Medium Map. The size of the map significantly influences the difficulty of ghost-hunting in Phasmophobia; larger maps can make it harder to locate the ghost while increasing the risk of losing sanity, which can lead to more frequent ghost hunts. In Phasmophobia, the map size generally relates to the number of rooms. The smallest map, 6 Tanglewood Drive, includes just 10 rooms, while the largest, Sunny Meadows, boasts an impressive 69 rooms.

Completing typical ghost-hunting tasks, as well as Daily and Weekly Tasks in Phasmophobia, can provide players with extra revenue and XP, helping them to progress and acquire better ghost-hunting tools. Each day, four Daily Tasks reset at midnight, and every Monday, four Weekly tasks reset as well. These tasks can be undertaken solo or as part of a team. One recurrent Daily Task that often perplexes players involves playing a Medium Map. Successfully completing this task awards players with 150 in-game currency and XP, making it the most lucrative Daily Task reward available.

Understanding Medium Maps

Finishing the Challenge

In Phasmophobia, only two maps are officially regarded as “medium” in size: Prison and Maple Lodge Campsite. When the Daily Task requires players to explore a Medium Map, these are the only options available. The Prison features 31 rooms across two levels, unlocked for players who reach Level 11, while Maple Lodge Campsite has 28 rooms across its two stories and is unlocked at Level 13.

How Horror Co-Op Games Like B4B & Phasmophobia Keep Things Scary

Many survival horror video games create fright by isolating the player, while others use cooperative gameplay to generate fear.

Medium Maps in Phasmophobia typically feature more intricate layouts than the smaller maps or the larger Brownstone High School and Sunny Meadows. The Prison Map, for instance, has two wings full of barred cell blocks, including an upstairs walkway that leads to narrower, more confined areas where the ghost can easily pursue players. Maple Lodge, on the other hand, consists of two distinct, sprawling campsites located mainly outdoors, complete with tents, a main office, a restroom building, and a cabin by the lake.

Top Strategies for Navigating Medium Maps

Essential Tips & Tricks

To successfully navigate Medium Maps in Phasmophobia, consider adopting these strategies:

Team Up with Friends

Medium Maps in Phasmophobia are best tackled with a group of three or more players. A larger team means you can bring more equipment and cover more ground when trying to track the ghost’s location at the start of the investigation. If you’re playing with a full squad of four, pairing up is effective. Each pair should ideally carry at least one EMF Reader, Parabolic Microphone, or Thermometer, split between the two main areas of the map. In the Prison, these areas include the two cell blocks and the adjoining hallways; at Maple Lodge, players can explore the two campsites or a combination of the campsites and the cabin.

Familiarize Yourself with the Layouts

To enhance your chances of success on a Medium Map, it’s wise to review the map from the truck or search for a layout image online. Familiarizing yourself with the typical locations of power Breakers, Cursed Possessions, and Hiding Spots will be extremely helpful. Discovering the Breaker’s location early allows you to turn on the lights quickly. Cursed Possessions can assist in locating the ghost’s room or gathering information, and while hiding spots may vary, knowing the general area of the safest locations can prove beneficial during a ghost hunt.

Use Top-Quality Equipment

In Phasmophobia, equipment is categorized into Tiers, allowing players to unlock superior tools as they level up. Given the specific challenges posed by Medium Maps, it’s advisable to select a full loadout of the highest-tier equipment available. This means that you should aim to carry the maximum number allowed for each piece of gear currently unlocked. When hiking with a team, make sure players have access to Tier III equipment to streamline the investigation process.

Utilize Loops

When being pursued by a ghost in Phasmophobia, the ability to loop can be critical when hiding is not an option. Hiding in Phasmophobia works only if players can break line of sight with the ghost, which can be difficult on these maps. Medium Maps offer various locations suitable for looping during a ghost chase. In the Prison, for instance, players can loop around tables in the nearby cell blocks or cafeteria, while at Maple Lodge, good looping spots are available around the picnic tables or campfires.

To loop effectively, players should keep a smudge stick and lighter in their inventory, ready to use if the ghost unexpectedly changes direction.

Harness the Power of Sound

The Parabolic Microphone can be particularly helpful on medium and large maps in Phasmophobia. While using it, perform large, slow sweeps to follow sounds, particularly when using Tier II and III equipment to pinpoint where the ghost is moving or making noise. Additionally, setting up sound sensors in major areas of a Medium Map and having one player monitor from the truck can facilitate tracking the ghost, as deploying four sound sensors will cover ample ground.

Stay in the Light

Medium Maps commonly feature “dark rooms” where sanity drains more rapidly, even when the lights are on. Maple Lodge, in particular, is predominantly outdoors, relying on the light from campfires and string lights.
