Obtaining the Music Box

Similar to other cursed items in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its spawn is entirely random; there's no guaranteed method to find one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to activate its unique properties.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies leverage the Music Box's capabilities. Upon activation, it plays a melody. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within a 5-meter radius, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Music Box on the ground as a lure. The music stops automatically when the song concludes. Note that holding the 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 Music Box.
• Reaching 0% sanity while holding the playing Music Box.
• The ghost approaching the Music Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Music Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary equipment like Smudge Sticks. These can aid survival during hunts, allowing for ghost identification or objective completion.
