Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia present a high-risk, high-reward proposition during ghost investigations. This guide details their usage and potential outcomes.

Strategic Use of Tarot Cards
Due to their inherent risk, utilize Tarot Cards in a safe area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance. This provides an escape route should an unfavorable card, like Death, be drawn.
Each card triggers an immediate effect upon use. However, "The Fool" acts as a wildcard, resulting in no effect. You can draw up to ten cards without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Tarot Card Effects and Draw Probabilities
The following table outlines the ten possible cards and their associated effects and probabilities:
| Tarot Card | Effect | Draw Chance |
|---|---|---|
| The Tower | Doubles ghost activity for 20 seconds | 20% |
| The Wheel of Fortune | ±25% sanity (green/red burn) | 20% |
| The Hermit | Confines the ghost to its favorite room for 1 minute (excluding hunts/events) | 10% |
| The Sun | Full sanity restoration (100%) | 5% |
| The Moon | Complete sanity drain (0%) | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card before nullifying effects | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates a prolonged Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer) | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instant revival of a deceased teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instant death for the user | 1% |
Cursed Possessions in Phasmophobia

Cursed Possessions (or Cursed Objects) are high-risk items that randomly appear in Phasmophobia, offering gameplay manipulation at the cost of increased danger. Unlike standard equipment, they provide shortcuts but pose significant threats to player characters. The choice to utilize them is entirely strategic. Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Objects exist in the game: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle.
