Obtaining the Music Box

Like other cursed items in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its appearance is entirely random; there's no guaranteed method to ensure its spawn. Only one Music Box can be present per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.

Utilizing the Music Box

Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a melody. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its approximate location. Proximity matters: within 5 meters, the ghost will move toward the Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Music Box depletes your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on specific circumstances:

• Throwing the active Box (not placing it).
• Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Box.
• The ghost approaching the Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost or complete other objectives.
