Obtaining the Music Box

Similar to other cursed items in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its spawn is random; there's no guaranteed method to find one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per playthrough. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.

Using the Music Box

Several strategies involve the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its location. Proximity matters; within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can even place the activated Box on the ground as a lure. The song's completion automatically closes the Box. Note that holding the Box depletes your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed or standard hunt, depending on these conditions:

• Throwing the active Box (not placing it down).
• Reaching 0% sanity while holding the playing Box.
• The ghost approaching the Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Box.

For effective use, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase your survival chances during a hunt. This allows for ghost identification and objective completion.
