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 obtain it. 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 tune. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its approximate location. Proximity matters: within five meters, the ghost will move towards the Music Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Music 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 these conditions:

• Throwing the active Music Box.
• Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active 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 tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during hunts, enabling ghost identification or objective completion.
