Ghost hunting is about to get even harder.
If you think you’ve mastered the art of ghost hunting in Phasmophobia, you may be ready to put your skills to the test. Weekly challenge modes are a great way to see how good you are.
These special trials modify how the game works, usually with rules that make the experience a lot harder. Successfully finishing the challenge gets you plenty of XP and cash, so it’s well worth the effort. Here’s what the weekly challenge is in Phasmophobia and everything you need to know to beat it.
Phasmophobia weekly challenge mode (May 11 to 18)

From May 11 to 18, the weekly challenge is Slow and Steady in Phasmophobia. In this challenge, the ghost’s speed is reduced from 100 percent to 50 percent, so it’s a lot slower than usual. Your sanity is reduced to zero, and it can’t be replenished, so this slow ghost will be chasing after you by starting hunts constantly.
How to complete the weekly challenge in Phasmophobia
To finish the weekly challenge mode in Phasmophobia, you need to correctly identify the ghost present on the featured map three times. The specific changes present in each trial mode vary, but your goal is always the same.

Phasmophobia Slow and Steady weekly challenge mode tips
The Slow and Steady challenge is one of the trickier ones you can attempt in Phasmophobia, so here are some of the best tips for it to help you get it done.
- Learn Camp Woodwind’s layout. Since it’s an outdoor map, it’s tough to investigate. Learn the map layout beforehand to make this process easier. You can explore it in a custom match with the friendly ghost option turned on, so you don’t have to worry about hunts.
- Loop around the map. Camp Woodwind is a simple map that’s essentially just one medium-sized circle, so you can easily loop around it endlessly to escape the ghost during a hunt.
- Play with friends. Your odds of success are a lot better with allies helping you through this tricky trial. With additional ghost hunters at your side, you can explore the map more quickly, work together to gather evidence, and continue the investigation even if you perish.
- Don’t give up. Since all equipment is provided to you for free, there’s nothing to lose in this challenge. Because of this, you can keep trying without worrying about losing money or equipment. Give each contract your all and keep at it until you manage to get it done.
When does the challenge mode change in Phasmophobia?
The challenge mode changes every Monday at 12am UTC, which translates to 7pm CT every Sunday. You have a full week to tackle each challenge mode when it’s available. All challenge modes return on a regular basis since they’re on a rotating schedule, so if you don’t get to finish one, you can always try it again in the future.
Next weekly challenge mode in Phasmophobia
The next weekly challenge mode, which will run from May 18 to 25, is Paranormal Paparazzi. This trial begins as soon as the featured one for this week, which is Slow and Steady, ends.
