Phasmophobia Halloween 2023 event update changes, lobby secrets, and more

Phasmophobia Halloween event 2023 brings a lot of new things for ghost hunters, ranging from a new cauldron to a reworked lobby. In this guide, I will tell you about all the changes and fixes this update brings along with the secret Halloween recipe.

All Halloween event secrets in Phasmophobia

This year's Halloween event brings out a cauldron where you can complete a recipe to get the secret Halloween trophy and badge. To do that, you have to find nine pumpkins scattered across different maps in the game. After that, you have to get the ingredients listed on these pumpkins and put them in the cauldron to create your recipe and get the rewards.
