Main Article: Beth's Phone

Beth used her phone when searching for Hannah one year ago. She dropped it when being chased by the Wendigo, and it is a clue for Matt and Emily to find.

Jessica's Phone[]

Chapter 1[]

Jess has the option to check her phone or read a book while waiting at the cable car station. Regardless of which option she chooses, she is startled by Mike throwing a snowball at her.

Chapter 2[]

After Josh sends Mike and Jess to the guest cabin, she requests a selfie of herself and Mike, which he takes using her phone. Once Mike fires up the generator and opens the gate, Jess starts playing music on her phone.

Chapter 3[]

Jess plays a prank on Mike in which she, while holding deer antlers, jumps out at him. She uses her phone to record this prank and laughs while trying to show him the footage.

After getting into the cabin, Jess then realizes she lost her phone, believing she dropped it while they were running and revealing it was her fourth one this year. She will blame Mike for its disappearance if he scared her at the river.

While Jess and Mike begin to settle in, a smash is heard from the cabin's bathroom window. Mike finds Jess' phone on the ground, playing "Let Me Go." Jess comes to take her phone and storms outside to yell at who she thinks are the others.

Chris' Phone[]

Chapter 1[]

Chris' phone is first seen sticking out of his bag and buzzing near the lower cable car station. Sam may choose to snoop on his phone or to zip his bag up. If she snoops, she sees a text from Ashley. Chris will see Sam snooping and gets annoyed at her, taking his phone back.

Chapter 2[]

Chris briefly uses his phone again at the start of the chapter, holding it up and telling Josh that he is getting poor signal up on the mountain. Josh jokes that if Chris has a million dollars, he will install some cell towers. Before Chris goes through the lodge window, the two can have an idle conversation in which Chris complains that none of his apps which would be useful now can actually be used. Josh exhibits some light annoyance, saying that Chris' phone is all he ever talks about. He asks Chris if it can get them into the lodge or get Chris laid.

Chapter 6[]

The phone is again briefly seen while Ashley and Chris are searching for Sam in the basement of the lodge. Chris uses his phone at the moment when Ashley spots a ghost walking by. Chris misses the ghost and Ashley then scolds Chris for looking at his phone.
