The July 21, 2026 update to Phasmophobia overhauled 13 Willow Street in ways that will catch even veteran players off guard. The bones of the map are familiar, but the basement is completely reimagined, two rooms have changed function entirely, and a handful of new secrets are tucked into the corners. If you haven't played this location since the rework dropped, expect to spend the first contract relearning a place you thought you knew.
What changed in the 13 Willow Street rework?
13 Willow Street is the smallest map in Phasmophobia, a one-story home with a basement, and the rework kept that overall footprint intact. What changed is the detail inside it. The garage is now a gym, with a bathroom attached at the back. The room that used to be a second bedroom is now an art studio. Down in the basement, the old layout of a long hallway with two closed rooms has been replaced by a more open design featuring a laundry room, a sports room, and a bar and game room.
For returning players, the first floor will feel mostly familiar with a few surprises. The basement, though, is a genuinely different space now and worth scouting carefully on your first run back.

Full room list for 13 Willow Street
The map has 11 rooms across two levels. Here's the full breakdown:
The stairs down to the basement are through a door on the left side of the hallway, just behind the kitchen and dining area. The back patio is visible through several windows but has no accessible entrance. The only way in or out of this map is the front door.
Where are all the Cursed Possession locations at 13 Willow Street?
Seven Cursed Possessions have spawn points across this map. Standard contracts only place one, but certain weekly challenges and custom matches can add more. Knowing every location means you spend less time searching and more time investigating.
First floor Cursed Possession spawns
- Music Box: On a bookshelf in the living room.
- Summoning Circle: On the floor in the kitchen and dining area.
- Haunted Mirror: Hanging on a wall above a table near the bathroom entrance inside the gym.
- Voodoo Doll: On a cat bed in the bedroom.
- Monkey Paw: On a shelf in the art studio.
Basement Cursed Possession spawns
- Tarot Cards: On a table in the bar and game room.
- Ouija Board: On a cabinet near the bathroom door in the basement.
Where are the fuse boxes at 13 Willow Street?
Two possible fuse box locations exist on this map:
- Gym (first floor): Enter the gym and look immediately to your right.
- Laundry room (basement): Head down the stairs, turn right into the laundry room, and scan the wall as you move through.
Some contracts mark the fuse box on the truck map with a green lightning bolt icon, but many contracts hide it. Checking both spots takes less than a minute, so it's worth doing early rather than hunting blind.
What are the best hiding spots at 13 Willow Street?
The rework changed which hiding spots are available, so the old mental map won't help here. These are all the confirmed spots:
- Behind the wooden partition left of the glass doors in the living room.
- Inside the pantry behind the dining room table.
- Behind the canvas in the back left corner of the art studio.
- Inside the closet in the bedroom.
- Behind the wooden partition near the wardrobe and back patio window in the bedroom.
- Underneath the stairs in the basement.
- Behind the stack of three black containers in the laundry room.

What are the best looping spots at 13 Willow Street?
Looping is when you circle a piece of furniture or an area repeatedly to stay ahead of the ghost during a hunt. 13 Willow Street has several solid options:
- Around the couch in the living room.
- Around the dining table in the kitchen and dining area.
- Around the table in the art studio.
- Around the gym itself.
- Around the pool table in the basement.
- Around the entire basement as one large loop.
The open basement layout makes it one of the better looping zones on this map now. The old closed-room design gave you fewer options down there.
Easter eggs and secrets at 13 Willow Street
This map has a few hidden details worth knowing about:
- Standing in the bedroom closet near the safe, you can sometimes hear cat noises. The sound may appear elsewhere, but the closet is the most consistent spot.
- The mailbox to the left of the front gate can be opened to find two brochures with small lore details about what may have happened in the house.
- Several laser pointers are scattered around the map. Pick one up and activate it to shine a red beam around the room.
- Multiple gaming consoles are placed throughout the home. Each one can be switched on to play a different piece of music.
- All kitchen appliances can be interacted with and turned on, by you and by the ghost.
If you enjoy finding hidden details like these, the Phasmophobia Tanglewood rework went through a similar overhaul and has its own set of secrets worth tracking down.
