The hide and seek extreme challenge in Phasmophobia is really one of the worst challenges, but I will show some ways that you can make it easier.
First, always check for orbs before going into the campsite. Don’t open the front gate yet either, I will explain why in a second. If you see orbs great, mark it, don’t forget mimic is an option though. Go to that area and set up a writing book and check for spirit box. If you hear an interaction try spirit box in that area, if you don’t get one, and nobody else is in the room, then rule out spirit box. If you get it great mark it.
Now keep in mind that there is 1 minute set up timer where the ghost will not hunt that you need to use this time. If you cannot get things, the monkey paw is always there, so wish to trap the ghost. This will give you more time for safety where the ghost cannot hunt and you can gather more intel. If you don’t see orbs right away, see if you can pin point the ghost room in that minute time, if not, wish to trap the ghost and see what you can find there. If you can find the room and you don’t have Spirit Box or Ghost Orbs, a lot of ghosts get eliminated. You are down to ghosts with EMF 5 or a Demon.
For EMF 5 your safest bet is to read the activity chart. If nobody is in the map at all, and you see a spike of 5 or more you know that you have EMF 5 or a Polti Ability. If you never got spirit box, you would know EMF 5. If you never see a 5 spike, it does not necessarily rule out EMF 5, but I would lean more for demon.
You can also set up DOTs and Video Camera for the ghost room and have the camera focused on the writing book as well to see if it ever writes in that. If the ghost throws the book before writing in it, then you can rule out writing. You can also look for DOTs safely outside the map/in the truck. I would honestly never feel comfortable ruling out freezing, and I don’t think you will really be in there long enough to get freezing.
HIDING SPOTS SUCK ON THIS MAP. I cannot state that enough, do not trust them. The only ones you might can kind of trust is inside the small tents, hope the ghost doesn’t try to open them. If you are decent at listening to footsteps you can wait there and listen, if you are not good you can compare them to the cheat sheet. Otherwise just stay crouched near the picnic tables, hoping the ghost doesn’t see you, but if it does that will lead me to my last point.
Lastly don’t be afraid to die. If you get the ghost correct that is all that matters. You can die each time and still get the $5000 and xp. All that matters is getting the ghost correct. Sometimes RNG is on your side and sacrificing yourself can be beneficial. You can also use the Monkey Paw to wish for knowledge if you are truly stuck at the end. One time during my challenge I was down to Spirit, Wraith, Phantom, so I was going to use the hunt to figure it out. If it stayed invisible longer it is a phantom, if I lured it over and it didn’t step in salt, then wraith, and if I lured it over and it was normal blinks, and stepped in salt, Spirit.
This challenge sucks, and I don’t feel like anyone should over stress about it as it is likely not worth the time and effort you put into it, but hopefully these tips can be useful.

How did you do on this challenge? Watch us take on the Paranormal Paparazzi Challenge here: https://youtu.be/Wwl2uazj3GI
Yeah this was not fun…it took a good couple of hours just grinding this challenge with my buddy to do this. We are in no way pros
Awful (the challenge, not your video.) glad to watch YOU do it.
We did badly for this weekly challenge. It's not easy in VR to loop it, especially at that speed.
We try 4 times until we took a pause for the challenge. We got 3 shades and 1 Twin. The Twin we almost got it, I was not sure, and didn't trust my instinct and went the other one.
I'm going to push some of your community quiz posts on my community page. 👍
I just loaded in and guessed until i got it.
About an hour ago I got home from work-frantically checked your channel to see if you posted about this challenge yet. Saw that you didn't so I gave it a go. I JUST FINISHED ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU POSTED. I made it so difficult for myself maaaan
Brute forcing this challenge in the name of a good payday!!
I did this challenge it almost made me go insane it was taking so long i am new only level 11 so wanted to use this as a way to get hunt experience only managed to get away from one ghost without hiding but got my 3 correct eventually i think it was 1 and a half nights to get them 😅 i had to use my brain alot though because getting the evidence was difficult
Lmfaoo omg me and the squad got extremely lucky with this challenge! First run we all died extremely quickly without even finding the ghost room and we forgot to change our picks but it turned out to be a Spirit (default pick). Second run we came across a Deogen and was laughing at how fast it moved but once it got within range of anyone it was so slow. And our last run was a Hantu. It killed us all but I was able to see the cold breath before dying! I can't imagine how hectic it would be if we had to actually find evidence lol. Again, appreciate the content as they're always informative and entertaining! 🙏
I got a Deogen, Raiju, and Revenant. All of those were super good to get…
Though I did die when the Deo found my hiding spot.
Twice during this challenge I had a Demon. This challenge with no smudges and 0 sanity did not allow the Demon to show off its special abilities with regard to those two items. Plus there was no UV, so I couldnt even get 3 pieces of evidence. What a headache! Twice!!
I got 3 ghosts in 4 rounds, wraith , thaye. (demon caught us off guard and we guessed wrong) and then yokai. The yokai was just a lucky guess we had based on the last 4 ghosts we narrowed it down to
I was doing the challenge solo and never in my life had I gotten so many Mimics and Yureis round after round 😭
Thank you for showing be how to do this terrible challenge in the fastest way
23:23 Mr P lost to his intrusive thoughts…
I joined a public and asked to do this one, hacker joined and instantly completed it
Dont know to be happy or sad
He LilP I hit level 9 prestige today!
If I couldn't see Orbs and/or a good hiding spot from the gate, I didn't even bother. Did a lot of throwing things just inside before the set-up timer to save pre-hunt time. Played Educated Guess for most of them, anyway. Felt really proud of myself for getting it, though.
How are you able to tell it’s an EMF 5 just by looking at the graph in the truck ???
What is the tool you are using that's the overlay of a journal you're able to quickly tick off? Or was that done during editing?
Honestly, I just went into this one like I was doing the Woodwind XP Farm. I hid behind the picnic tables and got hunted until I got them right. It took 4 hunts to get three correct. I also died 2 out of 4 times lol. Got a Jinn, a Moroi, a Revenant, and a Deo. Missed the Jinn. Easy cheese this time, but I'll take it.
I trap the ghost.
Sanity/weather if it is raining because I want to hear the foot steps.
Use the crucifixes because I take forever at figuring out the normal speed ghosts.
And…that is usually enough time to get the evidences set up.
