Phasmophobia is one of the most popular multiplayer horror games online with its immersive gameplay and eerie atmosphere. One of the game’s most unique features is the cursed objects that are hidden in set spawns around the maps. All of the cursed objects have different abilities to aid or punish the player who uses them. Today we’re going to take a look at the infamous voodoo doll. In this article, we will explore the mechanics behind the voodoo doll in Phasmophobia, including its spawn locations for each map and how it can help players identify the ghost type.
How does the voodoo doll work?
When you use the doll with the interact button, a random pin in its body will be pressed down. This causes a ghost interaction where the ghost currently is. This means that it’s the perfect opportunity to find out the ghost’s location and snap a picture for extra money. It would be all well and good if that was it but unfortunately, like with all the other cursed objects, there comes a downside.
If the random pin pierces the doll’s heart, a cursed hunt will be triggered. We advise using the object close to a hiding spot so that you do Cursed hunts last 20 seconds longer than a regular ghost hunt, and the grace period between the ghost spawning and the starting of the hunt is set to only 1 second. But that’s not all! You also lose another 10% of your sanity when a cursed hunt is triggered. If you use it again with less than 5% sanity, all the pins get pushed in. We advise using the object close to a hiding spot so that you don’t get caught off guard by the ghost.

Is the voodoo doll worth using?
Phasmophobia’s voodoo doll is one of the harder cursed objects to use as you can’t predict when a cursed hunt will occur. It works better on smaller maps, as on larger maps like the high school or prison, you might not be able to hear the interaction if the ghost is further away. It can also force one of the pieces of evidence through the interaction, such as D.O.T.S, ghostwriting, EMF-5, or fingerprints. Make sure you know where the ghost room is before using it or use the voodoo doll to confirm the ghost’s whereabouts once you have an idea of its location.
With practice and careful use, the voodoo doll can be a valuable and fun asset in your ghost-hunting arsenal. So, if you’re ready to take on the challenge of using this cursed object, be sure to stay safe out there in the field. That concludes our guide on how to use the voodoo doll in Phasmophobia.
