The Detectives Only challenge in Phasmophobia tests your ghost-hunting abilities without traditional evidence. Located at 42 Edgefield Road, this weekly challenge requires correctly identifying the ghost type in three different contracts.

Key Challenge Rules:

• No official ghost evidence available
• Ouija Board always accessible
• No grace period for setup
• All truck screens functional
• Fuse box marked and starts off
• All equipment is Tier I (except Head Gear)
• Starting sanity at 100%

Tips for Success:

1. Alternative Evidence Methods:

• Watch for Ghost Orbs (indicates The Mimic)
• Test Salt (Wraith won't step in it)
• Check ghost photos (invisible ghost indicates Phantom)
• Monitor light interactions (Mare avoids light)
• Listen for Banshee's unique screams
• Track fuse box behavior
• Note early hunt patterns

2. Practical Strategies:

• Create an equipment pile near the entrance
• Team up with other players
• Use the Ouija Board to locate the ghost
• Monitor sanity drain rates
• Watch for distinct ghost behaviors
• Pay attention to ghost movement speed

3. Behavior Indicators:

• Early hunts may indicate Demon, Yokai, or Onryo
• Rapid sanity loss can identify specific ghosts
• Light interaction patterns
• Sound events and frequencies
• Object interaction styles

The challenge rewards 5,000 experience and $5,000 cash upon completion. Multiple attempts are free and encouraged, as ghost types vary in difficulty to identify without evidence.

Remember to carefully observe ghost behaviors and patterns, as these become your primary means of identification in this evidence-free challenge.
