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 random; there's no guaranteed method to find one. 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. 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 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 Box decreases your sanity.
Triggering a Hunt
The Music Box can initiate either 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 being near the player holding the active Box.
For effective use, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase survival chances during a triggered hunt. This allows for ghost identification or objective completion.
