How to find and use Krampus Boxes in Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia‘s Winter’s Jest Christmas event is here! Much like the Halloween event before it, this festive celebration is a community event where players must work together to reach a common goal.

One of these goals is to open Krampus Boxes. Finding these is easier than it seems – Kinetic Games has made it extremely easy for every player to get involved in this event. Let’s find out where to discover and open these Krampus Boxes in Phasmophobia.

Where to find Krampus Boxes in Phasmophobia

In Phasmophobia‘s Winter’s Jest Christmas event, four maps have been given a festive makeover. These maps are marked on the contract voting screen with a small present icon, and are as follows:

• 6 Tanglewood Drive
• Bleasdale Farmhouse
• Maple Lodge Campsite
• Point Hope

Krampus Boxes are scattered around the above four maps. Don’t bother with the other Phasmophobia maps if you’re looking to take part in the Winter’s Jest event. The locations are random each time, so you must look carefully to ensure you don’t miss them. There is usually at least two on each map, so don’t give up after grabbing the first.

But how do you know when you’ve found a Krampus Box in Phasmophobia? You can spot them by looking for a big red box with a crude star drawing on it and a turning handle on the side. Given the maps also have big red present boxes on them, they’re easy to miss when you’re not looking for them.

Once you’ve found the Krampus Box, you open it by pressing the Activate key. On PC, this is left-click. You’ll know it has worked because the handle begins to turn, and a large red Krampus head will pop out of it with a burst of confetti.

While this doesn’t have any effect in-game, it will officially count towards progress in the Christmas event, whether you complete the map or not.

If you want to check how the community is progressing in the Phasmophobia Winter’s Jest Christmas event, simply head over to the event board in the pre-game lobby. Once complete, you’ll be able to claim each stage’s rewards for a limited time.

This also shows the rules of the Winter’s Jest event, where you can also make progress by correctly identifying ghosts and completing optional objectives. During the Halloween event, Kinetic Games extended the deadline to allow players the time to complete these tasks, so make sure you’re collecting the Krampus Boxes on each map!
