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; 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.

Utilizing the Music Box

Several strategies involve the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a melody. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will join in, revealing its proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. The activated Music Box can be placed on the ground, acting as a lure. The song concludes automatically, and the Box closes. Note that holding the active Box depletes 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 Box (not placing it down).
• The player holding the active Box reaching 0% sanity.
• The ghost approaching the Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost being near the player holding the active Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks to mitigate hunt risks, allowing for ghost identification or objective completion.
