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 appearance is random; there's no guaranteed method to obtain one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per game. 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. Within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The music stops and the Box closes automatically when the song ends. Note that holding the Box decreases your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt with the Music Box

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

  • Throwing the active Box.
  • 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 optimal use, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase survival chances during a hunt. This allows you to identify the ghost type or complete other objectives.

This concludes the guide on obtaining and using the Music Box in Phasmophobia. Consult additional resources for further game tips and information, including details on prestiging.
