Mastering the Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide
Tarot Cards in Phasmophobia represent a high-risk, high-reward proposition. This guide details their usage and effects.

Strategic Use: Due to the inherent risks, utilizing Tarot Cards in a safe zone (near a hiding spot or entrance) is recommended. This allows for a quicker escape should an unfavorable card, such as Death, be drawn.
Card Mechanics: Each card triggers an immediate effect. However, The Fool card (a wildcard) produces no effect. A maximum of 10 cards can be drawn without impacting sanity. Duplicate cards yield identical effects.
Card Effects: The game features 10 unique Tarot Cards, each with specific effects and draw 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 depletion (0%) | 5% |
| The Fool | Mimics another card then nullifies; no effect | 17% |
| The Devil | Triggers a ghost event near the closest player | 10% |
| Death | Initiates an extended Cursed Hunt (20 seconds longer) | 10% |
| The High Priestess | Instant revival of a fallen teammate | 2% |
| The Hanged Man | Instant death for the user | 1% |
Cursed Possessions Overview:

Cursed Possessions offer gameplay shortcuts but introduce significant risks. They spawn randomly on maps (depending on difficulty and game mode). Only one spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings), always in a predetermined location. Seven Cursed Possessions exist: Haunted Mirror, Voodoo Doll, Music Box, Tarot Cards, Ouija Board, Monkey Paw, and Summoning Circle. Using them is optional; no penalties exist for avoidance.
