Version 1.5.3 - Last updated May 28, 2021

​How does this challenge work?

Before every mission, each player will have to spin the "Trait Challenge Wheel" to see which trait is applied to them. Every player will have a different trait(s) assigned and follow through with it until the end of the mission, depending on the trait. The goal is to Complete the Trait!

If you die or fail to finish the trait, depending on the trait assigned to you, it will carry over into the next mission along with a new trait applied to you. So, the more you die in a row, the more traits can stack on top of one another and the more punishments can hurt you! The max traits can stack is 5. You can do more if your group is ballsy enough. :)

NOTE!: Two or more players cannot have the same exact trait applied to them! If two or more people have the same trait, one or more must reroll! (This is done due to certain traits being on multiple people make the game practically impossible.)
​​
For Example.
Destiny is applied the trait of "Deaf." He plays the game without audio and ends up dying to the ghost during a hunt. On the next mission, he spins the wheel again and gets "Paranoid." On this next mission, not only does he have to do Deaf, he also has to do Paranoid. If he survives the next mission, everything clears and he's back to one trait the next mission. If he dies again, his previous traits are added on along with a new trait in the next mission.

What counts as a Completed Trait Challenge?

 To complete your Trait Challenge, you must successfully figure out the type of ghost you're dealing with, achieving two of the three Optional Objectives, and (depending on the trait) SURVIVING!

BONUS: If you finish all three of the Optional Objectives, you get to spin the Bonus wheel! Only have one person in your group spin the bonus wheel when your group has already assigned new traits. 

Trait Challenge Wheel

Rushed

This player must act as if they're in a rush to get out of there fast, not wanting to hunt any ghosts. All Optional Objectives are voided and players do not have to do them. Thus, making it easier for everyone to pass. However, passing this mission does not allow your team to spin the bonus wheel for the next mission.

Scaredy Cat

This player doesn't like to be alone at all when they're inside. They must always accompany someone else on the mission. If their companion dies, another person must come out and get them. If they're the last player on the mission, they must head straight back to the truck and figure out the ghost themselves.

Small Pockets

This player decided to wear girl's pants. They can only carry two items maximum! (They are allowed to put on head cams as they don't contribute to inventory space)

Thief*

This player must collect at least three framed pictures or electronics on the map and return them to the truck... Got to make more money some how right?

Weak Bladder

This player must use and flush a toilet every time they directly pass a room with a toilet in it.
NOTE: If your group is playing on a map with multiple bathrooms next to each other (ex. High School), you only have to flush one toilet in one of the bathrooms every pass. 

Young At Heart*

This player must rescue at least 2 stuffed toys found inside and bring them back out to the truck. Voodoo Dolls do not count!
NOTE: If this is a trait for someone in your group, make sure you play on a map you know spawns stuffed animals. If your group has already chosen the map and it doesn't spawn any stuffed animals, your trait is automatically failed and rolled over into the next mission.

I also want to give a massive thanks to everyone who's decided to give these traits a run with your own friends and given feedback on it. In all honesty, I was never going to put this challenge trait thing out to the public as I just thought it wasn't really too interesting and didn't think people cared enough to try them. It did take a few people to  actually convince me to publish this idea and man, was that a good idea. I'm really happy if you and your friends enjoy these sets of challenges and give the feedback you do give. It does show how awesome a community can be. :)

Keep doing what you guys do and remember,

Good Luck, Have fun! Keep the traits alive and SURVIVE! (Unless you get the Ghost Bait... then uh... heh... YEET YOURSELF AT THE GHOST!!!!)

BONUS WHEEL

---

If you and your group managed to complete all the Optional Objectives, you get to spin the wheel! ONLY ONE PERSON SHOULD SPIN THE WHEEL! Good luck! :D

• Add Another Trait
  - Another trait must be added to one person. Spin the Trait Wheel first and then decide who shall be the unlucky one to get another trait stacked.
• Add Two Traits
  - Two traits must be added. You can either choose to stack both of them on one person or split them between two people. Either way, someone's getting another trait (or two) stacked on them.
• Another Trait For All
  - YOU GET A TRAIT! YOU GET A TRAIT! EVERYONE GETS A NEW TRAIT! All players have to add another trait on top of their existing trait.
• Ban Items
  - Would you look at that! Two items are being banned on the next mission! Spin the "Banned Items" wheel to see which items your group can't use since they're BANNED!
• Everyone Reroll
  - Just when you think you were about to become comfortable with your new trait, TOO LATE! Spin again! You get a new trait! :D
• Keep or Reroll
  - Everyone has the option to keep their current trait(s) or have the option to reroll! If they choose to reroll a trait, spin the trait wheel!
  NOTE: If someone has stacked traits, they have the option to reroll one of their traits.
• Nothing
  ​- Did you risk your life to get all the optional objectives done? Welp, I'm sorry to say that literally nothing happens. Keep your new traits and go on to the next mission!
• One At A Time
  - On your next mission, only one person can be in the building at a time. If a player in your group has the Scaredy Cat or Deaf Trait, spin the bonus wheel again.
• One Person Rerolls
  - Choose only one person in your group to reroll their new trait.  
• Spin Again
  - You heard the boss! SPIN THAT (Bonus) WHEEL AGAIN!

Give me Feedback!

Feedback suggestions/RESPONSES

zenzi k.

- A way to take some stuff off the wheel. The blind and deaf ones aren't as fun as the other ones.

RESPONSE:
- The way you play is entirely up to you and your group! If you don't like some of the traits, you don't have to do them and can just reroll if your group is okay with it! As for the blind trait, I've gotten a lot of negative feedback regarding this trait. As such, I've removed it and replaced it with "Shut in."

Thank you for your suggestion Zenzi! :D

U/QUEERFOX13 (REDDIT)

- The only feedback I have is maybe for the wheel to be at the top of the webpage, bc I'm viewing it on mobile with Phas open on my PC and it took me a min to actually find the wheel/navigate to it every time we needed to spin it.

RESPONSE:
​I'll see what I can do to make it more "Mobile-Friendly" since I didn't think about it when I first created the page. Thanks for the feedback! :)
- UPDATE: I've moved 2 of the wheels above the traits to make it easier on Mobile Users! :)

Thank you for your suggestion queerfox13!

ileia w.

- Trait Suggestion:
Gamer Trait: Any person with this trait must stop at a computer in sight for 10 seconds in order to keep their right as a gamer, including during hunts.

RESPONSE:
- That's a really good trait idea! Unfortunately, the max amount of traits the wheel can handle before bugging out is 50, which we're at. So if there's a time where I need to replace one, I'll do so with your trait.
- UPDATE: I've decided to remove the Limp trait and replace it with the Gamer trait. 

Thank you for your suggestion Ileia! 

kozyshank

- My ghosty pals and I have done this for about 12 games so far over the course of a few days. We've kept it mostly to the house maps as some of these would be crazy hard on the larger maps (HS/Prison/Asylum). It's added a bit of extra fun as more of the beta stuff rolls out. We've like most of the traits as they range from fun, easy and silly (i.e. germaphobe/limited vocab) to pretty hard (i.e. UV Expert). If you're going to make someone Ghost Bait, they should be exempt from adding to the hunt.

RESPONSE:
I'm glad to hear that you and your folks are enjoying the challenge! I mainly wanted to mix in the best of hard challenges and the fun ones, so it's good to hear it's being liked! During our testing, we kept it to small maps as well, but we've had a few... "interesting" things happen to us on the bigger maps. (Some of which we couldn't stop laughing at). But they are compltely do-able. You do make a good point on the Ghost Bait trait. I just thought it would just be common for the person that got Ghost Bait to not put any inventory in. But seeing as you pointed it out, I've added a note to ensure this is more clarified.

Thank you for the suggestion kozyshank! 

Achlys

- TRAIT SUGGESTION:
Thirsty - This means that the player that has this trait has to have two bottles of water beside them IRL. Then every 30 sec, the player must take a sip of water.

RESPONSE:
While this is a nice suggestion, we're trying to keep everything pertaining to the game play as much as possible. Keeping track of drinking every 30 seconds doesn't necessarily impact the gameplay too much and not many people would go out of their way to get/drink water every 30 seconds. 

Thank you for your suggestion Achlys!

Dawson

​- TRAIT SUGGESTION:
Sleepy - Everytime you pass a Bed, you need to stand by it for 10 seconds.

Similar to the Washing Hands and Gamer:
Cabin Fever - You can't stay inside the building for more than 3 minutes at a time. THIS INCLUDES DURING HUNTS!

Drastic - Person with this trait can not use any item they used las game. If this is your first game of the session, roll the banned item wheel 4 times for the times you can't use, or reroll for another trait.

RESPONSE:
I love these ideas for traits! Unfortunately, I can only have up to 50 traits at a time or the wheel ends up bugging out on the page. So when we plan on rotating Traits out, these will definitely go on the list for replacing them! 

Thank you for your suggestion Dawson!
