Obtaining the Music Box

Like 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 one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, activate it by interacting with it.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies employ the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Box decreases your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on several factors:

  • Throwing the active Box.
  • Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Box.
  • The ghost approaching the Box for over five seconds.
  • The ghost being near the player holding the active Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing additional equipment like Smudge Sticks to aid survival during a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete objectives.

This concludes our guide on obtaining and using the Music Box in Phasmophobia. For more Phasmophobia tips and tricks, including information on prestiging, check out The Escapist.
