Ghost hunting in a team of four
You and up to three co-op friends take a contract, pick a haunted location, load up on gear and go in together. One of you asks questions through the spirit box while another watches for freezing temperatures. A third films the room with a night vision camera. The ghosts are listening to your actual voice through Ouija boards and EVP sessions, so coordinating out loud is part of the job.
Evidence tools and cursed trade-offs
The kit is familiar ghost-hunting equipment: EMF readers, thermometers, spirit boxes, motion sensors, CCTV and more. You sweep rooms for clues, compare readings and narrow down over 20 ghost types, each with different traits and abilities. Cursed possessions offer extra information or abilities in exchange for sanity. You decide when the trade is worth it, and when to step back, steady yourselves and let a calmer teammate take the lead.
Brave roles and truck duty
Not everyone has to walk the dark hallway. One co-op friend can search rooms head first while another hangs back in the truck, watching CCTV feeds and motion sensors and calling out what moves. With over 10 locations, each with its own layout, twists and hiding spots, that second pair of eyes matters. It is a natural setup for mixed bravery levels: the cautious player still contributes, and the bold one is never completely alone.
Tuned for your group
Sessions stay straightforward to start: join up, pick a location, begin the investigation. Five default difficulties plus hand-crafted weekly challenges give steady groups ways to test themselves, and custom difficulty lets you shape the rules and rewards to suit your co-op friends. Playing with any mix of input types is supported, including VR, and solo play is there when nobody else is online. The loop is short and repeatable: gather evidence, name the ghost, try not to join the haunting.
Questions about co-op ghost hunting?
How does a round work with friends?
You enter one of over 10 haunted locations as a team of paranormal investigators. You use EMF readers, spirit boxes, thermometers, night vision cameras and other tools to collect paranormal evidence, then match it to one of over 20 ghost types. Voice recognition means you can speak to ghosts through Ouija boards and spirit box sessions, which makes talking as a group part of the tactic.
What if one friend scares more easily?
That player can take truck duty, monitoring CCTV and motion sensors while the rest search inside. Since every location has its own layout and hiding spots, a calm voice on the radio is genuinely useful. Custom difficulty also lets the group soften things until everyone is comfortable.
Does it stay different across sessions?
Yes, because ghost types have different traits, personalities and abilities, and locations each bring different twists. Five default difficulties and weekly challenges change the pressure, and custom games let your group invent stranger rules with proportional rewards. One night you chase freezing temperatures, the next you argue about whether that door moved on its own.
