I step into Nell’s Diner and freeze — a tiny porcelain ballerina stares back from the counter. My breath fogs the window and the jukebox plays a note that sounds like a warning. You realize the Doll hunt threads through every map and every reward sits behind those small, stubborn figures.
I always check obvious corners first. Find Dolls in the Alan Wake Phasmophobia event
I’ll be blunt: this task rewards patience and a quick eye. You need to clear every event map to collect all Dolls — Camp Woodwind (Coffee World), Nell’s Diner (Oh Deer Diner), Bleasdale Farmhouse (Elderwood Palace Lodge), and Grafton Farmhouse (Cauldron Lake).
Each Doll is unique and small. They sit like totems on a dusty shelf, so they catch your peripheral vision when you pass a counter, mantle, or window sill. Think in terms of small figurines rather than full-scale props — that mental filter speeds you up.
Where are the Dolls located in the Alan Wake event?
They sit in fixed locations across the four maps. You’ll always find them in common areas: counters, mantels, bedside tables, and porches. If you’re using community tools like the Phasmophobia Discord or a Reddit guide, expect players to post screenshots and coordinates — those are handy but don’t replace a careful sweep.
My map checklist keeps me honest. All Dolls in the Alan Wake event
Write this down or pin it in your Steam guide: there are 13 Dolls total.
- Camp Woodwind (Coffee World): 3 Dolls
- Nell’s Diner (Oh Deer Diner): 3 Dolls
- Bleasdale Farmhouse (Elderwood Palace Lodge): 4 Dolls
- Grafton Farmhouse (Cauldron Lake): 3 Dolls
Some are people — a jester, a ballerina, a man holding a baby — while others are animals. They rarely blend with normal décor, so once you’ve seen a few, the rest become easier to spot.
How many Dolls do I need to complete the Doll puzzles?
Collect all 13 for your collection, but puzzle completion only requires specific subsets. I recommend grabbing every Doll during your runs; they spawn permanently in your collection once picked up.
I always check the lobby last. How to use Dolls in the Alan Wake event
When you bring Dolls back to the main lobby they’ll appear on the floor near Alan Wake’s desk and a scattered stack of drawings and a note. The note contains three riddles — each riddle tells you which figurines belong in which spot.
Here are the puzzle requirements so you can stop guessing:
- First Doll Puzzle: moose and deer
- Second Doll Puzzle: child, man with a baby, old man
- Third Doll Puzzle: child, woman with a cape, man with a baby, jester
There are only three puzzles to solve. Completing them will grant event rewards and a badge of completion that displays in your Steam profile or Twitch streams — a small flex in public matches and clips.
Which community resources help the fastest?
If you want coordinates, use Reddit threads, the Phasmophobia Discord, or short YouTube clips from creators who focus on quick-hit guides. I watch a few creators on YouTube and clip the images into my phone; that visual memory is faster than text when you’re under pressure. Kinetic Games and Remedy Entertainment’s names show up in every discussion, and the community often pins verified locations in pinned posts.
Practical tips: sweep high-traffic rooms first, bring a camera or phone to photograph placements for later, and if you play co-op, split maps between teammates so you check each spawn faster. Treat your search like a breadcrumb trail through the map’s quiet corners — small, steady finds build to the whole set.
So — which map will you clear first, and will you prove the guides right or rewrite them with your own discoveries?
