Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia

The Music Box, like other cursed possessions in *Phasmophobia*, has a one in seven chance of appearing on the map. This means you'll need a bit of luck to find it, as there's no guaranteed method to ensure its spawn. 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*, which we'll explore later. First, let's understand its basic functionality. When activated, the Music Box plays 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 Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost closer. The Box will automatically stop playing once the song ends. Remember, 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 scenarios must occur:

  • 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 if a hunt is triggered, allowing you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives on the map.
