This riddle wants you to go to the Brown High School map and outside. There will be several trees with glowing arrows on them. Follow the arrows to the end, and find the symbol meaning on the side of the building. The symbol stands for ‘E.’

All symbol’s meanings in Phasmophobia

Now that you have every symbol meaning, the letters you have on the left side are ‘I,’ ‘T,’ ‘O’, ‘N,’ ‘P,’ and on the right, you have ‘O’, ‘H,’ ‘E’ and “P.’ These should spell out two different words, with many community members believing it spells out “Point Hope,” referencing a new map set to come to Phasmophobia.

However, this cannot be confirmed until the Phasmophobia developers confirm these findings.
