How to Use Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia

Tarot Cards offer significant advantages but carry substantial risk. For safety, use them in a secure location, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance, allowing for a quick escape if you draw an unfavorable card like Death.

Each card has a unique immediate effect. However, The Fool card (similar to a Joker) produces no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without sanity loss, and duplicates yield the same effect.

Ten unique cards exist within the deck:

Tarot CardEffectDraw Chance
The TowerDoubles ghost activity for 20 seconds20%
The Wheel of FortuneGains 25% sanity (green flame); loses 25% sanity (red flame)20%
The HermitConfines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events)10%

The MoonCompletely drains sanity to 0%5%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions are high-risk, high-reward items randomly spawning on contract maps (depending on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, they manipulate the ghost, but at significant risk to the player. Their use is entirely optional. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a fixed location. Seven Cursed Objects exist: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
