Phasmophobia's Spirit Box is a unique tool that allows players to ask ghost questions using their mic. Over one hundred phrases could let you or your friends get vital information about the ghost and its intentions. While the unique voice recognition feature is straightforward, figuring out what to ask can be confusing since only certain questions elicit responses.

With around 140 questions to choose from, you must first place the Spirit Box in a room where the spirit can be found. After identifying a haunted room in Phasmophobia, there are rules tied to what questions you can ask, with restrictions ranging from what devices you're using, whether the lighting is right, or if you're close enough on the map.

Every Basic Question & Request to Ask in Phasmophobia

100+ Questions To Help You Narrow Down Your Ghost

There are many questions and requests that you can ask anywhere, at any time, to receive an answer from a lingering spirit within Phasmophobia, as shown in Nuzzgard's YouTube video above. These are incredibly short phrases that you can shout into your microphone as long as you are within the space the ghost is haunting.

Many questions depend on your location or what other devices you are using. Not every question needs a communication tool to be answered, especially if you try to ask the same question through different things. The list of questions you can ask to receive a response includes:

1. Anybody here?
2. Anybody in the room?
3. Anybody with us?
4. Are you angry?
5. Are you a boy?
6. Are you a child?
7. Are you a girl?
8. Are you a woman?
9. Are you close?
10. Are you female?
11. Are you friendly?
12. Are you here?
13. Are you male?
14. Are you male or female?
15. Are you old?
16. Are you with us?
17. Are you young?
18. Can we help?
19. Can you give me your name?
20. Can you show yourself?
21. Can you talk?
22. Do you want to hurt us?
23. Do you want us here?
24. Do you want us to leave?
25. Give us a sign!
26. Hello?
27. How old are you?
28. How young are you?
29. Is anyone here?
30. Is there a ghost here?
31. Is there a spirit here?
32. Let us know you are here.
33. Shall we leave?

35. Show yourself!
36. Speak to us!
37. What are you?
38. What is your age?
39. What is your gender?
40. What is your location?
41. What is your name?
42. What do you want?
43. What should we do?
44. When were you born?
45. Where are you?
46. Who am I talking to?
47. Who are we talking to?
48. Who are you?
49. Who is this?
50. Why are you here?

that some of these questions are better to ask when you or your team are trying to figure out what type of ghost is present. For example, if the map is being haunted by the Mimic in Phasmophobia, some general requests give you a clue that reveals that kind of spirit. This will help you decide what to do next to properly exorcise whatever supernatural force exists during a match.

Every Spirit Box Question & Request to Ask in Phasmophobia

How To Use The Spirit Box To Reveal Your Ghost

Once you have the Spirit Box set up in the room that the ghost is haunting, you unlock a new set of questions and requests you can ask. Depending on the situation, you should ideally try to learn more about a spirit's origin or disposition. Similar to the Ouija Board in Phasmophobia, the highly specific inquiries you can make here are tailored to get answers that have a better chance of helping you or your team.

It's best to ask questions based on your or your team's circumstances and not just ask things randomly from your new list of requests. You may only have a limited time to ask a question and get out, especially since the ghost is already dangerous when you place the Spirit Box in the room they occupy the most. The new questions or demands available to you, specific to the Spirit Box, are:

1. Are there any ghosts?
2. Are you happy?
3. Are you here all the time?
4. Are you male or female?
5. Are you the only one here?
6. Are you waiting?
7. Can I ask you?
8. Can we speak?
9. Can you make a sound?
10. Can you speak?
11. Can you speak to us?
12. Do something.
13. Do you know who we are?
14. Do you want us to leave?
15. Fright.
16. Frighten.
17. Give us a sign.
18. Hide.
19. Horror.
20. I am scared/I'm scared.
21. Is there anyone here?
22. Is there anyone with me?
23. Is there anything I can do?
24. Knock.
25. Knock something.
26. Make a noise.
27. Make a sound.

31. Open this door.
32. Panic.
33. Run.
34. Scared.
35. Scary.
36. Scream.
37. Show me.
38. Show us.
39. Show us your presence.

45. Turn on the light.

49. We would like to speak with you.
50. Would you like to talk?

Many questions in general areas or through the Spirit Box will be met with incoherent words or background noises in Phasmophobia. The more activity the Box has, the better the response from the ghost haunting the location.

The Apocalypse update to the game changed how spirits speak and attack, making it trickier to find the answers you want to your questions.

While new maps have made it harder sometimes to find precise locations where you need to use the Spirit Box, there are several ways for you or your team to track down the ghost's favorite room. Just be sure to pay close attention to which room seems to have the most activity or evokes more reactions from equipment.

Using The Spirit Box On Consoles

There Is No Voice-Recognition On Console At The Moment

With the release of Phasmophobia on consoles, many players are finding that they're struggling with the Spirit Box. Unfortunately, this is largely because the console version doesn't offer Voice Recognition, at least for now. So, while PC players can use their mic to speak with the ghost directly, console players cannot. To make up for this, console players will have a list of scripted questions they may choose from on-screen to interact with the ghost.

This diminishes some of the use of the Spirit Box, making it a very limited item, so in all honesty, I found that it wasn't worth using at the moment unless playing with a PC player that can make full use of the tool. Otherwise, you are better off using the other items to help you narrow down the entity.

You cannot move while using the Spirit Box on consoles, making it incredibly risky, so keep this in mind when trying to track down your paranormal entity.

The developers of Phasmaphobia have stated that voice recognition will hopefully come to consoles in a future update. At that time, it will operate the same way it does for PC players, but there is no official date yet.
