„A cozy diner in the middle of nowhere. What happened here?”
Nell's Diner is a small map in Phasmophobia.
It is similar in size to 6 Tanglewood Drive and is unlocked at level 5.
Structure[]
Nell's Diner is a one-story diner with a spacious dining area, three bathrooms, rooms for the staff, a kitchen, and a cold room.
Layout tips[]
- The fuse box cools the Cooler Room down to 1°C (33.8°F) at a rate of 0.1°C (0.18°F) per second instead of heating it.
- The Cooler Room has a dynamic temperature cap that prevents temperatures from going above a certain value. The cap starts at the weather's ambient temperature or at its lowest value, respectively when the fuse box is off or on at start. If off at start, turning the fuse box on will progressively lower the cap at a rate of 0.1°C (0.18°F) per second to a lowest of:
- 10°C (50°F) for Sunrise
- 8°C (46.4°F) for Clear, Fog, and Blood Moon
- 5°C (41°F) for Windy, Light Rain, and Heavy Rain
- 3°C (37.4°F) for Snow
- The Foyer cannot be chosen as a favourite room.
- The Foyer doesn't have any light to prevent passive sanity drain.

Easter Egg: Ghost in the Machine[]
Nell's Diner contains an easter egg that gives the "Ghost in the Machine" ID Card after leaving through the truck when triggered.
The easter egg is triggered by completing the following steps on any difficulty:
- Shine a UV light on the reminder post-it note in the Manager's Office. This will give you three arrows: Down, Up, Right.
- Find the code outside, in three locations, each corresponding to an arrow (4 is in the Dining Area on the wall to the left upon first entry. It is being pointed to by the road sign angling down. 1 is underneath the neon sign by the road, pointed to by an upwards arrow. 5 can be found in the dumpster area, pointed to by a graffiti arrow pointing right).
- Open the safe in the Manager's Office, under the desk, with the code.
- Take the debit card inside to the ATM in Hallway and place it in the card slot.
- Pick up the dollar bill and buy a soda from the red Mr. Sprinkle vending machine to the left of the ATM by placing it in the insert slot.
- Pick up the coin that drops from the machine upon buying a drink.
- Place the coin in the Lair of the Unliving arcade machine, located in the Break Room.
Only one player in a game has to complete this as everyone in the lobby will receive the reward, regardless of who actually completed it.
Trivia[]
- Lore-wise, Nell's Diner is located in Tucson, Arizona.
