Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia

Like other cursed objects in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a low spawn rate – approximately a one in seven chance per map. Unfortunately, there's no guaranteed method to ensure its appearance; it's purely down to luck. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it.

How to Use the Music Box

Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Once activated, it plays a song. If the ghost is within 20 meters, it will sing along, revealing its location. Proximity matters; within five meters, the ghost will actively move towards the Music Box. You can strategically place the activated Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The song's completion automatically closes the box. Remember, holding the Music Box depletes your sanity.

How to Start a Hunt With the Music Box

The Music Box can trigger either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on specific circumstances. A cursed hunt is initiated if:

• The active Music Box is thrown (not placed down).
• The player holding the active Music Box reaches 0% sanity.
• The ghost moves towards the Music Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost is near the player holding the active Music Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.
