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 surefire way to ensure it spawns; it's all about luck. Importantly, only one Music Box can appear per map. If it does spawn during your session, you can pick it up and activate it by pressing the Interact key again.

How to Use the Music Box

The Music Box offers various strategic uses in Phasmophobia. Here's how it functions:

Once activated, the Music Box plays a tune. If the ghost is within a 20-meter radius, 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 Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost closer. The Box will automatically stop playing once the song ends.

Be aware 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, depending on specific conditions. To trigger a cursed hunt, meet one of the following criteria:

• Throw the Music Box while it's active (instead of placing it down).
• Reach 0% Sanity while holding the Music Box as it plays.
• Allow the ghost to walk towards the Music Box for over five seconds.
• Have the ghost near you while you're holding the active Music Box.

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