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 find one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies involve the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its location. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can even place the activated Box on the ground as bait. The music stops, and the Box closes automatically once the song finishes. Note that holding the Box depletes your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate 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, consider bringing supplementary equipment like Smudge Sticks to manage potential hunts, identify the ghost, or complete other objectives.
