When does the Easter Event 2025 begin for Phasmophobia? The first Phasmophobia event of 2025 has arrived—and it’s a big one. From April 17th to May 1st, players can dive into the Cursed Hollow event, disrupt the Forest Spirit once again, and explore the eerie Hollowed Wood makeover of the maps and lobby while tracking down forest minions and earning some cool rewards along the way.
Phasmophobia Players will be invited to uncover the secrets of the Cursed Hollow, unearthing mysterious Jackalope totems as they hunt through nine seasonally decorated maps.
The Curse Hollow Event and Patch are now live on all platforms after a lengthy delay.
Phasmophobia Easter Event for 2025
Start Date: 17th April, 2025
End Date: 1 May, 2025
The 2025 Easter Event will begin on April 17th on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
During ‘Cursed Hollow’, Ghost Hunters will need to work together to identify ghosts, complete objectives, and search for Jackalope totems hidden across the game’s maps. But beware: Interacting with the totems will have eerie effects, some helpful and some that may hinder even the most experienced teams.
The new, improved Bleasdale Farmhouse will be on rotation during the event, and nine of the other maps will be decorated for Easter.
“We’re really excited for ‘Cursed Hollow’ to launch next week, and once again have our players join together to tackle this season’s Community goals,” said Daniel Knight (Dknighter), Director of Kinetic Games and Lead Developer of Phasmophobia.
“We’ve made some changes this year following direct feedback from our previous events; from the new reward split, to some interesting new gameplay modifiers. Our community is everything, and we’re always looking for ways to improve - we hope everyone enjoys what ‘Cursed Hollow’ has in store for them this Easter, and keeps the feedback coming on what they want to see in the future.”
It will be a community-based event, much like what we saw with the Halloween and Christmas events in 2024, where players needed to collectively complete challenges to earn enough points to unlock three tiers of rewards. The only difference is that solo rewards will also be attached to it.

Using the Event Board:
Before getting started, we recommend visiting the event board by the van. There, you’ll find everything you need to know about the event, including the requirements for participation, such as:
- Identify the ghost correctly
- Complete optional objectives
- Find and reveal any forest minions
You can also track your progress toward both community and personal rewards—yep, you can earn both now! Even better, rewards are automatically claimed as you unlock them.
- Community Stage 1 - Event ID Card and Badge
-
Community Stage 2 - Upgradable Event Trophy
- Stage 1 Personal – Foil Event ID Card
- Stage 2 Personal – Trophy Upgrade 1
Map Board
Next, choose a map marked with the nest icon. Out of the 9 maps in the rotation pool, 4 will be active at any given time—each uniquely decorated, featuring a special guest, and marked with a small nest icon. Some maps may contain more nests than others, offering more minions to battle and more points to earn.
Tip: You can do this on any difficulty you like, even a custom one if you’d rather set it to a friendly ghost and max player speed to relax while grinding!
How to find the minions
There are two distinct parts to this event: the Forest Spirit and its minions. Most of our time will be spent hunting down the minions, and the rest trying to avoid the very angry Forest Spirit we annoyed by messing with his minions.
To reveal a Forest Minion, we first need to find it in one of the various nests dotted around the marked (but also themed) maps and listen for a chittering sound. Once you hear evidence of the minion, grab your D.O.T.S and shine it on the nest to reveal it in its nest. You only need to shine your light on it long enough to lunge or run away; no pictures are required this time.
Tip: Depending on the map, there might be more than one—up to six on larger maps. Try to catch them all!
Correctly identifying the Forest Spirit is a challenge in itself. Take your time and think through your observations carefully. Beware the mimics, and Revenants.
