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; luck is the key factor. 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 song. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its location. Within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The song's conclusion automatically closes the Box. Note that holding the Box decreases your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt

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

• 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, bring supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks to increase survival chances during a hunt, allowing ghost identification or objective completion.
