„This mirror made me feel...weird.”
The Haunted Mirror is a cursed possession that can be used to locate the ghost's favorite room.
Mechanics[]

A broken haunted mirror
A haunted mirror has a 1 in 7 chance per contract of being chosen as the cursed possession that will spawn on a default difficulty, with one specific spawn location per map.
Activation and usage[]
The mirror can be toggled while inside the investigation area. It will be automatically deactivated when brought outside.
When activated, the haunted mirror will show a view of the favorite room as a sweeping panorama from the center of the room, allowing players to locate the room by cross-reference. This view is a live feed of the room, so any lights turned on, items moved, and equipment or players present in the room will be visible. The only exception is the player's own model.
The mirror also gives a faint glow to see into the favorite room, which all players, including the user, can see, even outside of the mirror. This can help confirm rooms, as well as help other players know where the favorite room is.
Each usage of the haunted mirror, which includes the animation of raising but not of lowering the mirror, will decrease sanity at a rate of 7.5% per second, or by 20%, whichever is higher. This means that using the mirror for less than ~2.67 seconds will still drain at least 20% sanity.
The mirror will crack visually and audibly, triggering a cursed hunt if:
- The user's sanity reaches 0% while looking into the mirror
- A player activates the mirror while below 20% sanity
Once broken, the mirror automatically lowers and cannot be used for the rest of the investigation.
Photo rewards[]
- Main article: Photo Rewards
Taking a photo of a haunted mirror, cracked or not, will yield a photo labelled as Haunted Mirror, and reward up to $5 and 5XP.
Tips[]
- On maps such as Brownstone High School where many rooms look very similar, it may be hard to confirm the favorite room; players can place some equipment in the room they suspect to be the favorite room, and see if said equipment is visible in the mirror. Alternatively, players can also memorize small details such as the position and placement of windows, or the tile color, before searching that room.
Trivia[]
- If the "Eye Adaption" option is on, the player's vision will be significantly darkened for a short while after lowering down the mirror.
