Challenge Mode in *Phasmophobia* offers a unique weekly task that immerses you in a preset contract with specific conditions and equipment. Each week, on Sunday, the mode refreshes, presenting a new challenge to conquer. These challenges vary in difficulty; some mirror standard investigations, while others intensify the experience by tweaking ghost behaviors or limiting your gear.
To master a weekly challenge, you must complete the preset contract three times before the week ends. These completions don't need to be back-to-back but must be achieved before the reset to count. During each session, correctly identifying the ghost is essential for your progress to be recognized. While fulfilling optional objectives isn't mandatory, doing so can boost your points, which is particularly beneficial for those aiming to prestige their character.
Successfully finishing a weekly challenge rewards you with a base sum of $5,000, plus any additional points earned throughout your contracts.

The Do As I Command Challenge in *Phasmophobia* is considered one of the more straightforward challenges within the mode. It features minimal changes to ghost behavior and equipment, which can be a welcome respite for some players.
The challenge's goal is to "force this ghost to give you evidence," indicating that the ghost will be less active than usual. You must complete this contract on the Sunny Meadows map, and note that the "Restricted" version is off-limits.
You'll be equipped with a full Tier 3 loadout, provided free of charge, ensuring you have everything needed. Moreover, the fuse box is operational, so make sure to activate it upon arrival to enhance your investigation.
Investigating at Sunny Meadows can be challenging, especially with a reticent ghost. However, this challenge includes a significant advantage: access to all seven Cursed Possessions, all located in the chapel.

Tools like the Haunted Mirror or Ouija Board can expedite locating the ghost, while the Voodoo Doll or Monkey Paw can provoke ghost activity to gather evidence. Use these items cautiously, as they can lead to sanity loss and trigger cursed hunts.
