Obtaining the Music Box

Like other cursed objects 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 ensure its presence. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies involve the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a melody. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its location. Proximity matters: within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground as a lure. The Box automatically stops playing and closes after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Box depletes your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on these conditions:

• Throwing the active Box (not placing it down).
• 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, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase survival chances during a triggered hunt. This allows you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.
