Obtaining the Music Box
Similar to other cursed objects 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 secure 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 melody. A ghost within 20 meters will respond vocally, revealing its proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing and closes after the song concludes. Note that holding the active Music Box depletes your sanity.
Triggering Hunts with the Music Box
The Music Box can initiate either a standard or cursed hunt, depending on these conditions:
- Throwing the active Music Box (not placing it down).
- Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Music Box.
- The ghost approaching the Music Box for over five seconds.
- The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Music Box.
For optimal Music Box usage, consider bringing supplementary equipment like Smudge Sticks. This allows for ghost identification or objective completion should a hunt commence.
