This year, Phasmophobia gave us another round of festive fun with the Winter’s Jest event! A key mission during this event is hunting down and opening the elusive Krampus boxes. Finding these boxes can be a little tricky in all the detailed maps, but don’t worry. Once you know what to look for, it gets easier. Let’s dive into how to find and open the Winter’s Jest Krampus boxes in Phasmophobia.
Where to find Krampus boxes in Phasmophobia
Krampus jack-in-the-boxes can be spotted almost anywhere on the Winter’s Jest event maps in Phasmophobia. The following locations are known to have Krampus boxes:

Every day, Krampus boxes will only appear in four of these locations. You can identify which maps have them by checking the map board for areas tagged with a festive present icon. Keep in mind that the boxes are on a rotation schedule, so which spots are available will change daily.
As you scour the maps, you might find Krampus boxes lying on the ground, tucked away on tables, or even sitting on chairs and beds. These boxes don’t stick to designated spawn areas, so be prepared to look in every nook and cranny!
What do Krampus boxes look like in Phasmophobia?
Before you approach them, Krampus boxes are designed as dark red boxes featuring a star in a lighter shade of red. Given the typically dim lighting in the game, they can blend in pretty well with their surroundings. If you’re not attentive, you might just walk right past them, so scan the area carefully!
