My hands were shaking the first time the lights went out on Willow Street and the footsteps started upstairs. I froze in the kitchen doorway, breath loud in my headset, while the rest of the team shouted a distance and a direction. That night taught me the house keeps secrets—and it was time I learned where it hides them.
I write from long hours in the truck, on Steam forums, and in live raids with Twitch crews—so I’ll tell you what I look for first and where you should be watching. You play; I’ll point the flashlight where the map hides its tricks. Phasmophobia sits on Steam for $9.99 (€10), and this rework makes every run feel like new money spent well.
13 Willow Street guide in Phasmophobia
I once cleared a simple one-story home in under ten minutes and still felt like I’d missed a door that didn’t exist. 13 Willow Street is still a small, one-story home with a basement, but the July 21, 2026 rework moved furniture, repurposed rooms, and shifted how you approach investigations.
You’re facing the game’s smallest map, which means every hallway, closet, and window is amplified. I’ll show you the practical routes to sweep, what to tag on your truck map, and how the rework changes routine checks. Think of this map as a flipped chessboard: familiar pieces in new positions, and your opening moves matter.

On my last run I could see the entire main floor at once through the truck cam—and still missed the basement’s new entrance. Most rooms now sit on the main floor; the basement, however, has been given a full personality change.
There are 11 searchable rooms. Know them by feel: one bedroom in the northwest, an art studio across from it (it used to be a bedroom), a gym in place of the old garage, and two bathrooms on the main floor. The basement stairs are tucked behind the kitchen/dining area and open into a much more open-plan lower level—laundry, a sports room, and a bar/game room replaced the previous long hallway and closed rooms.
The back patio is for viewing only; the front door is your only exit. Treat the map like a spiderweb of corridors: knowing which threads lead to dead ends saves lives.
Where are the cursed possessions on 13 Willow Street?
13 Willow Street Cursed Possession locations in Phasmophobia
I once opened a cabinet expecting an old book and found a whole cursed event waiting to explode the mission timer. There are seven possible Cursed Possessions on this map, and you’ll usually see only one on standard contracts.
- Music Box — on a bookshelf in the living room (first floor).
- Summoning Circle — on the ground in the dining room/kitchen (first floor).
- Haunted Mirror — hanging over a table near the gym bathroom entrance (first floor).
- Voodoo Doll — on a cat bed in the bedroom (first floor).
- Monkey Paw — on a shelf in the art studio (first floor).
- Tarot Cards — on a table in the bar/game room (basement).
- Ouija Board — on a cabinet near the basement bathroom door.
I check those shelves and corners first because cursed items alter the hunt pattern and audio cues on Spirit Box and EMF. If you’re streaming or clipping runs for YouTube, finding items fast makes for cleaner content and fewer wipes with angry chat.
Where is the fuse box on 13 Willow Street?
13 Willow Street fuse box locations in Phasmophobia
I’ve lost time crouched in a dark hallway hunting a fuse box while a hunt timer bled seconds away. There are two spawn locations you must memorize.
- Gym (first floor) — immediate right as you enter the gym if it spawned there.
- Laundry room (basement) — down the stairs, turn right; the fuse box is on the laundry room wall if it chose the basement.
Truck maps often mark the box with a green lightning bolt, but trials may hide that icon. When Steam’s map marker fails, practice a fast route: gym first, then basement sweep. I recommend assigning an EMF reader to the player who runs to the gym while another covers the basement stairs—teamwork trims wasted minutes.
What are the best hiding spots on 13 Willow Street?
13 Willow Street hiding spots in Phasmophobia
I’ve seen a teammate survive a hunt by two seconds because they slipped into an overlooked pantry and stayed perfectly still. Hiding spots shifted in the rework—memorize these and you survive more than luck.
- Behind the wooden partition left of the living room glass doors.
- Inside the pantry directly behind the dining table.
- Behind the canvas in the art studio’s back-left corner.
- Inside the bedroom closet.
- Behind the wooden partition near the bedroom wardrobe and back-patio window.
- Under the basement stairs.
- Behind the stack of three black containers in the basement laundry room.
Weekly trials often block hiding spots. When that happens, plan a sprint path and leave a Crucifix at choke points if you have one. If you stream or clip highlights, make the pantry and canvas spots your go-to for replayable near-death moments.
13 Willow Street looping spots in Phasmophobia
The last time I used a loop to bait a hunt, the team turned that clip into a training video on our Discord. Loops let you observe ghost behavior while minimizing exposure.
- Around the couch in the living room.
- Around the dining table in the kitchen/dining area.
- Around the art studio table.
- Around the basement—especially the pool table area.
- Around the gym.
Looping is about spacing and timing. Assign one player to keep the ghost’s attention while others collect evidence. Use the camera and Spirit Box from a safe vantage to confirm type while your looper keeps movement predictable for the ghost.
13 Willow Street Easter eggs and secrets in Phasmophobia
I once spent an hour hunting a faint cat mew from inside a closet and found a mailbox flyer that rewrote the house’s backstory. The map hides small touches—audio cues, brochures, and interactive toys—that add story and practical clues.
- Occasional cat noises inside the bedroom closet near the safe; I’ve also heard them elsewhere but most reliably there.
- Open the mailbox beside the front gate to find two brochures with lore hints about the family who lived here.
- Several laser pointers are placed around the house; you can pick them up and switch the laser on to mark spots.
- Gaming consoles scattered through the home can be powered on to play unique music tracks.
- Kitchen appliances are interactive and can be turned on by players or manipulated by the ghost.
Use this guide with your preferred kit—EMF reader, Spirit Box, Thermometer, and Ghost Writing book—and coordinate via Discord or Steam voice channels. Kinetic Games updates often shift small details, so keep an eye on the official patch notes and the Phasmophobia subreddit for spawn tweaks.
So, after you’ve memorized these rooms, spawn points, and hiding lanes, where will you test your new route first?
