| Wish Type | Wish Choice | Wish Effects | Sunny Meadows Wish Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | I wish to see the ghost | Triggers a ghost event in front of the player: the ghost will materialize before them as their vision is obscured with a dark fog. The ghost will remain still for around 5 seconds before it disappears, triggering a cursed hunt at its summon location. The player’s vision will continue to be obscured for this hunt and will return to normal once it ends. | Manager Office |
| Ghost | I wish for activity I wish the ghost would do something | Doubles all ghost activity for 2 minutes (including throws, doors, roaming, abilities, etc.). The fuse box will break permanently, and the exit door will be locked for 2 minutes. | Chapel |
| Ghost | I wish to trap the ghost I wish the ghost was trapped | Teleports the ghost to its favorite room and locks all its doors for 1 minute. The ghost cannot hunt, roam, or use abilities during this period. This will also lock all doors of the player’s current room for 1 minute. After this period, all doors will unlock, and the ghost will start a cursed hunt. There is a 25% chance for doors to unlock only after the grace period. | Female Dorm Room |
| Ghost | I wish to be sane I wish for sanity | Sets every player to 50% sanity. The passive sanity drain will be multiplied by 1.5, and the ghost’s favorite room will be set to a random room. | Kitchen |
| Player | I wish to be safe | Opens up the nearest hiding spot. The lights in the player’s current room will shatter, and for the rest of the contract, the ghost will be able to hear the player who made the wish and sense their active electronics at any range. | Matron Office 1 |
| Player | I wish to leave | Unlocks all exit doors at any time, including during hunts. The player’s speed will be reduced before slowly returning over 5 seconds. Their vision will also be reduced for this duration. | Hospital Wing |
| Other | I wish to revive my friend I wish for life | Revives a dead player, but the player who made the wish has a 50% chance of dying. | Classroom |
| Other | I wish for knowledge | Removes one false evidence and corresponding ghost types from the wisher’s journal. The ghost will then start a hunt near the wisher, and they will have muffled audio and reduced vision until death or when the round ends. | Restricted Wing |
| Other | I wish for the weather: Clear Sky Fog Rain Snow Wind | Changes the weather as desired. This will cause a temporary blindness effect while the weather changes, deducting 25% of sanity from the player. For example, wishing for rain has a 50/50 chance of granting either light or heavy rain. | Morgue |
| Other | I wish for anything | Randomly grants one of the (unused) wishes above. | Waiting Room |
