The Phasmophobia Alan Wake crossover event drops 13 collectible Dolls across four themed maps, and the game gives you almost no guidance on where to look. Each Doll feeds into one of three lobby puzzles that unlock exclusive event rewards, so tracking them all down is worth the effort. Here's exactly where to find every Doll and how to use them.
What are the Dolls in the Alan Wake event?
Dolls are small figurines scattered around the four event maps. They come in a variety of forms, including human figures like a jester, a ballerina, a dad holding a baby, and an old man, as well as animal figures. None of them resemble standard map props, so they tend to stand out once you know what size and shape you're scanning for. Every Doll has a fixed spawn location, and picking one up once is enough to permanently add it to your collection.
The collection itself lives in the main lobby. As you bring Dolls back from the field, they appear on the floor near Alan Wake's desk, arranged around some drawings and a riddle note. That note is your guide to solving the three Doll Puzzles.

How many Dolls are there in total?
There are 13 Dolls spread across the four event maps. The breakdown per map is as follows:
Bleasdale Farmhouse carries the heaviest load at 4 Dolls, so plan to spend more time there during your sweep.
Run each map in a dedicated pass focused purely on Doll hunting rather than ghost investigation. The figurines are small and easy to walk past when you're distracted by EMF spikes.
Where to find Dolls in each event map
Camp Woodwind (Coffee World)
This smaller outdoor map holds 3 Dolls. Because Camp Woodwind is one of the more open layouts in Phasmophobia, the Dolls can be placed in spots that feel exposed rather than tucked into corners. Check tent interiors, near the campfire area, and along the perimeter structures.
Nell's Diner (Oh Deer Diner)
Nell's Diner contains 3 Dolls. The diner layout is compact with a kitchen, dining area, and back rooms, so a methodical room-by-room sweep works well here. Check countertops, shelving, and booth seating. For a full breakdown of this map's layout and hidden interactables, the Nell's Diner map guide covers everything you need.
Bleasdale Farmhouse (Elderwood Palace Lodge)
With 4 Dolls, Bleasdale is the most Doll-dense map in the event. The farmhouse has multiple floors and a basement, so check every room including upstairs bedrooms and the lower level. Don't rush this one.
Grafton Farmhouse (Cauldron Lake)
Grafton holds 3 Dolls. Like Bleasdale, this is a multi-room farmhouse layout, so check both floors thoroughly. The Tanglewood rework introduced similar structural changes to Kinetic Games' farmhouse maps, and if you want context on how these environments have evolved, the Tanglewood rework guide is a useful reference.
How do the Doll Puzzles work?
Once you've gathered enough Dolls, three separate puzzles become available at Alan Wake's desk in the main lobby. A riddle note tells you which specific Dolls belong in each puzzle. The puzzles do not all require the same Dolls, and you won't use every figurine across the three solutions.
Here's the exact Doll requirement for each puzzle:
- Puzzle 1: The moose and the deer
- Puzzle 2: The child, the man with a baby, and the old man
- Puzzle 3: The child, the woman with a cape, the man with a baby, and the jester
Puzzle 3 requires four specific Dolls, including some that overlap with Puzzle 2. Make sure you've collected all 13 before attempting to solve puzzles in sequence, or you may find yourself short on a required figurine.
Completing all three puzzles counts toward unlocking exclusive event rewards. Finding all 13 Dolls is also tracked as a separate progression goal, so both tasks are worth completing even if the puzzles only consume a subset of your collection.

Is finding all 13 Dolls required for the rewards?
Completing all three Doll Puzzles is what unlocks the exclusive event reward tied to this task. Collecting all 13 Dolls is a separate tracked goal. The puzzles only use a portion of the full collection, but the source confirms that finding every Doll is still a key part of the overall event, so both targets are worth pursuing.
