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 spawn is random; there's no guaranteed method to obtain one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up, then interact again to activate it.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies leverage the Music Box's unique properties. Upon activation, it plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground as a lure. The song's completion automatically closes the Box. Note that holding the activated Box reduces 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.
• 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 hunt, allowing for ghost identification or objective completion.

This concludes the guide on acquiring and using the Music Box in Phasmophobia. Consult additional resources for further game tips, including information on prestiging.
