Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia

Like other cursed objects in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a relatively low spawn rate—approximately a one in seven chance per map. This means securing a Music Box relies heavily on luck; there's no guaranteed method. Furthermore, only one Music Box can appear per game. Once located, simply interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.

How to Use the Music Box

Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Once activated, it plays a haunting melody. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will respond by singing along, revealing its proximity. Getting closer, within five meters, will trigger the ghost to approach the Music Box. Strategically placing the activated Music Box on the ground can effectively lure the ghost. Remember, the Music Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. A crucial point to remember is that holding the Music Box causes your Sanity to decrease.

How to Start a Hunt With the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on specific circumstances. A cursed hunt is triggered under the following conditions:

• Throwing the active Music Box.
• Reaching 0% Sanity while holding the active Music Box.
• The ghost approaching the Music Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Music Box.

For optimal Music Box usage, consider bringing supplementary tools, such as Smudge Sticks. These provide a crucial survival advantage during hunts, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.
