Obtaining the Music Box
Like other cursed objects 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 proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing and closes after the song finishes. Note that holding the activated 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 5 seconds.
- The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Music Box.
For effective Music Box usage, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during hunts, allowing you to identify the ghost or complete other objectives.
