Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia

In Phasmophobia, the Music Box, like other cursed possessions, has a one in seven chance of appearing on the map. There's no guaranteed method to ensure its spawn; it's all down to luck. Remember, only one Music Box can appear per session. If it does spawn, you can pick it up and activate it by clicking the Interact key again.

How to Use the Music Box

The Music Box offers several strategic uses in Phasmophobia, which we'll delve into later. First, let's understand its mechanics. Upon activation, the Music Box begins playing a song. If the ghost is within 20 meters, it will sing along, helping you locate it. If the ghost is within five meters, it will be drawn towards the Box. You can place the active Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost closer. The Box will automatically shut off once the song ends. However, keep in mind that holding the Music Box will cause your Sanity to decrease.

How to Start a Hunt With the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed hunt or a standard hunt, based on specific conditions. To trigger a cursed hunt, one of these criteria must be met:

• The Box is thrown while active (not placed down).
• The player holding the Music Box while it’s playing reaches 0% Sanity.
• The ghost walks towards the Music Box for more than five seconds.
• The ghost is near the player holding the Music Box while it’s playing.

To maximize the effectiveness of the Music Box, consider bringing additional tools like Smudge Sticks. These can help you survive a potential hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives on the map.
