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 random; there's no guaranteed method to ensure its presence. 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 leverage the Music Box's capabilities. Upon activation, it plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will sing along, revealing its location. Proximity matters: 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 concludes. Note that holding the Music 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 optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks to increase your survival chances during a triggered hunt. This allows for ghost identification or objective completion.
