If you're struggling to complete this challenge and meet the rules above, here are some important tips to remember:

  • Equipment: The first thing you should do is strategize which pieces of equipment you will be taking with you from the ones you have available. Items like Ghost Writing and Spirit Box can help you quickly shortlist the ghost. 
  • Ghost Interaction: Furthermore, keep an eye out for specific ghost behaviors, such as turning off the breaker, which means it's not a Jinn or interaction with objects, suggesting a Poltergeist. You can use the Phasmophobia Ghost Cheat Sheet to get an understanding of each ghost.
  • Adaptability: It’s extremely important that you adapt to the suspected ghost with available evidence to lower the chances of getting haunted early in the game. 
  • Wishes: If you have Monkey Paw wishes, use them wisely during the challenge to get the best result based on your status. 
  • Risk: Take as little risk as possible and stick with guessing the ghost based on what you already have instead of double-checking it. This helps you ensure survivability to gather more evidence to identify the ghost more accurately.
  • Movement: Lastly, you have to think about the hiding spots and how you will use them to your advantage to complete this challenge efficiently. 

The Hide and Seek Extreme Phasmophobia challenge will test your skill, patience, and adaptability. You might fail a few times trying this challenge, but that’s the beauty of this challenge. There is no trick that you can use to succeed in the challenge, as it’s about pure skills and a little bit of luck.
