How to find and open Winter’s Jest Krampus boxes in Phasmophobia

This year’s installment of Phasmophobia’s Winter’s Jest event has arrived, bringing with it plenty of festive fun to enjoy. One of the key tasks you need to tackle in this event is finding and opening Krampus boxes.

All maps you can explore are quite vast and detailed, even the smaller ones, which can make finding these boxes rather tricky. It’s much easier once you know where to look and how they work, though, so here’s how to find and open Winter’s Jest Krampus boxes in Phasmophobia.

Where to find Krampus boxes in Phasmophobia

Krampus jack-in-the-boxes can be found just about anywhere around all active Winter’s Jest event maps in Phasmophobia. All of the maps that may have Krampus boxes are as follows.

• 10 Ridgeview Court
• 6 Tanglewood Drive
• Bleasdale Farmhouse
• 13 Willow Street
• 42 Edgefield Road
• Grafton Farmhouse
• Camp Woodwind
• Maple Lodge Campsite
• Point Hope
• Nell’s Diner

Each day, Krampus boxes will only spawn at four of these locations. You can tell which ones have them by checking the map board for all areas marked with a festive present icon. The event maps are on a daily rotation schedule, as are the Krampus boxes, so the exact areas you can visit to find them vary.

Around each map, you can spot Krampus boxes on the ground, tables, chairs, beds, and just about everywhere else. They don’t have fixed spawn spots or specific types of areas where they spawn. Instead, you might see one anywhere you look on any map.

What do Krampus boxes look like in Phasmophobia?

Before you open them, Krampus boxes appear as dark red, simple boxes with a star on them that is a slightly lighter shade of red. All locations are quite dark, which means they blend in fairly well even when you know what you’re looking for. Be sure to scan all areas carefully to avoid missing them.

How to open Krampus boxes in Phasmophobia

You can open Krampus boxes by simply approaching them and selecting the Interact button while looking at them. This is the same button you use to perform most actions while ghost hunting.

On PC, it’s left click by default, but it varies by platform or may have been changed if you switched your controls around. You can check when it is for you by opening the Journal, selecting Settings, switching over to the Controls tab, and locating the button next to the Interact option. If you want to change it, you can also do that from this page.

What do Krampus boxes do in Phasmophobia?

Krampus boxes are essentially jack-in-the-boxes that pop open sometime after you interact with them, so be prepared for a bit of a jump scare when you do so. Opening these boxes scores you event points, thus helping both you and the entire Phasmophobia community get closer to unlocking event prizes.

Interacting with these boxes is just one of the many ways you can contribute to the event’s progress. If you’re looking for additional methods to try, you may want to work on helping with the Naughty-or-Nice List next.

You better watch out, you better not die (in Call of Duty), you better not pout, I’m telling you why: Black Ops 7’s Naughty and Nice event is here.

The latest seasonal holiday event for BO7 is bringing the gifts, or maybe the lumps of coal, depending on how bad you’ve been in CoD this year. But the Naughty & Nice event in BO7 is mostly nice, as it brings along a new free weapon and animated camo for gamers to unlock along the way.

Here’s the full list of challenges and rewards you can get by playing Naughty & Nice.

Black Ops 7 Naughty & Nice event

There are 10 total challenges to complete in Naughty and Nice, and the two main rewards are the Sokol 545 LMG and Snowfall animated camo. Five challenges are Naughty (sacks of coal) while five are Nice (holiday gifts), and completing the associated challenge allows you to open up whatever is inside (a mystery, for now).

Naughty challenges are for the naughtiest CoD players who only chase down kills and don’t care about wins or objectives, while Nice challenges are for those of you who play for the team and not just the individual accolades. But hey, both are needed and necessary!

All 10 challenges can be completed in either BO7 multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, or Warzone. Just finishing one of the tasks listed below will unlock the reward for it, including everything from emblems, weapon charms, and a blueprint like the Sweet Tooth Peacekeeper Mk1 blueprint and more.

Several of the challenges have to do with playing limited time modes like Snowfight in multiplayer or Holiday Rush in Warzone, so make sure to be in the holiday spirit before logging on.
