Understanding Tarot Cards and Where to Find Them
Tarot cards are powerful tools that can influence your fate when drawn. Their effects vary depending on the card and can significantly impact what happens to you next. There are a total of 10 unique cards, and each deck allows for 10 draws. It is possible to draw the same card multiple times; for example, 'The Void' is the most common card.

The decks are randomly placed across the map but can typically be found on tables, easily visible to players. You can discover them on all three maps.

Utilize this guide on Steam to enhance your gameplay and assist others in better understanding the role of using the Tarot cards in the game.

Communicating with the Ouija Board: Usage and Key Commands
The Ouija Board, like tarot cards, spawns randomly in the game. It typically materializes on the floor and emits a blinking effect, making it highly unlikely for one to be overlooked.

The Ouija Board allows communication with ghosts and lets you ask basic questions about their location or age. However, it also drains your sanity even when not in use, so be sure to drop it once you're done communicating. If the board breaks, the entity becomes provoked and may initiate a hunt.


Currently, there are only a few known commands for the Ouija Board. If you discover more, please feel free to share them. The known commands include:
  • Are you here?
  • Where are you? (This is the most important one to use)
  • How old are you?
  • When did you die?
  • Goodbye (Failing to say this may provoke the entity and trigger a possible hunt)

It's recommended to use it as a last resort if you're unable to locate the entity, as the Board can provoke the entity and lower your sanity. Alternatively, you can use it to speedrun a game if found early.
Use the Ouija Board wisely and exercise caution while interacting with it.
Voodoo Doll
The voodoo doll is used to provoke activity in a ghost. To utilize it, pick up the doll and insert the nails into it one at a time. Each nail will directly affect the ghost, causing a reaction. When you pierce the doll, a squeaky sound will be heard, indicating that the ghost is being affected. It is recommended to use the voodoo doll when you are in the ghost's room. However, be cautious, as the nail placement is random. If you accidentally pierce the heart, an immediate hunt will begin, so having a crucifix nearby is advised.
Locations of cursed objects

Helpful Tips
Tarot Cards:
  • Using Tarot cards while playing solo is not recommended, as most cards have negative effects.
  • A crucifix can help when a hunt is triggered, but the guillotine card will still be lethal.
  • If you draw the Moon card, which can reduce your sanity to 0, consider risking another draw in hopes of getting the Sun card.
  • Saving Tarot cards can be beneficial if a teammate has died, as you have the chance to draw the Angel card for revival.

Ouija Board
In Easy mode, the Ouija Board is a valuable tool early on, and using it correctly should not significantly impact the game. However, using it in Normal or Hard mode is not advised due to the significant sanity drain and increased difficulty.
If a hunt is triggered through the Ouija Board and the entity is far away, be prepared to run, as it may take some time for the entity to reach you.
Hiding is possible on the 2nd and 3rd maps; while it's uncertain for the 1st map, running through the kitchen and living room can help.


This is purely speculative, but the Void card might be related to the mysterious Mary room on the 2nd map, based on the riddle posted by the devs on Twitter! So far, no one has managed to unlock the door, and it remains uncertain whether it's actually possible to do so or if it's merely an Easter egg referencing Bloody Mary.
Last Words and Future Updates
If time permits, I plan to enhance this guide visually by adding images of each card. I know that including screenshots could greatly improve the overall presentation of this guide. While I've considered creating a comprehensive guide for every tool in the game, their explanations are already provided within the game itself. However, if I find the time and motivation, I will certainly create an in-depth guide with screenshots, detailing how each tool functions and illustrating what happens when a tool successfully detects or uncovers the required hints.

Thank you for reading this guide, and good luck exploring the unknown! Remember to stay cautious, and don't hesitate to adapt your strategies to the situation at hand. Happy haunting!

For the Ouija Board, you can ask "Can I have a blowjob" and the board will respond with yes or no (most commonly yes Ive only had 1 no)

ah, somehow missed that
Wice  [author] 14 Apr, 2023 @ 1:17pm 
I did add the locations through another guide. Check out the 'Locations of cursed objects section'

yeah, i initially thought so too then i found tarot and ouija board in one game. first house workshop and on the tv. maybe a list of the spawn locations found for the objects on each map too so we know where specifically to look if we want to check?
Wice  [author] 13 Apr, 2023 @ 3:18pm 
Oh okay good to know. Didn't have rounds with two cursed objects and assumed it would be just like in Phasmophobia
R4skall 13 Apr, 2023 @ 9:22am 
ive not seen more then two though and it seems they arent guaranteed to spawn
R4skall 13 Apr, 2023 @ 9:22am 
two cursed objects cant appear? i just started recently and i can say for a fact thats wrong. multiple times in a row i had both tarot and voodoo or tarot and ouija
Wice  [author] 12 Apr, 2023 @ 3:39pm 
@R4skall It could be that two cursed objects are never found in the same game, with only one appearing at a time. Interestingly, the Ouija board did respond to this idea. Perhaps this is a hint for a future update?
