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 appearance is random; there's no guaranteed method to ensure its spawn. Only one Music Box can appear per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies leverage the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a tune. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground as a lure. The music stops and the Box closes automatically after the song finishes. Note that holding the Box decreases 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 (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, consider carrying additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase survival chances during a hunt, enabling ghost identification or objective completion.
