Phasmophobia Challenge Mode quest this week

If hunting ghosts is getting too easy, Phasmophobia’s Challenge Mode quests provide a new objective every week for those who want a tougher job.

What is this week's Phasmophobia Challenge Mode quest? We still can't get enough of Phasmophobia. Ghost hunting and paranormal activity are and always will be among the most intriguing subject matters. Ghostbusters hasn't stood the test of time for no reason, you know.

Because of how it treats the subject, Phasmophobia remains one of the most demanding and difficult out there, even after all these years. Even if you've been playing the terrifying horror game since launch, you can still get the heebie jeebies from a poorly timed ghost event or deadly hunt. If you're really hard, though, and insist you need a greater task, the weekly Phasmophobia challenge mode could be the way to go, providing a predetermined loadout and set of rules to stick to.

How to play Phasmophobia Challenge Mode

To access Phasmo Challenge Mode, go to start a single-player game, then click on the difficulty box. There, you can choose Challenge Mode among the other difficulties. This is where you can see the current challenge.

Once selected, you can then choose the appropriate map. While you can play Challenge Mode in any map, you won't complete the challenge or earn the rewards for playing in a different map from the one specified in the challenge. If the challenge map is a particularly large one, for example, you could always practice on a smaller one first.

Now you know what this week's Challenge Mode quest is, it's time to lock in with whatever gear is at your disposal and try your best to stay alive. If you need a little help, consult our guide on all 24 Phasmo ghost types, remind yourself how to use the Phasmophobia Spirit Box, or find out what a little dirty water in the sink means.
