Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia

The Music Box, like other cursed possessions in Phasmophobia, has a one in seven chance of spawning on the map. There's no guaranteed method to ensure its appearance; it's purely a matter of luck. Additionally, only one Music Box can appear per session. If it does spawn, you can pick it up and activate it by pressing the Interact key again.

How to Use the Music Box

The Music Box offers several strategic uses in Phasmophobia, which I will detail later. First, let's understand its basic functionality.

Upon activation, the Music Box begins to play a song. If a ghost is within a 20-meter radius of the Box, 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 activated Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost closer. The Box will automatically stop playing once the song ends.

It's important to note that 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, depending on specific conditions. To trigger a cursed hunt, one of the following 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.

For effective use of the Music Box, it's advisable to carry other tools, such as Smudge Sticks, to increase your chances of survival if a hunt is triggered. This strategy can help you identify the ghost type or complete other objectives on the map.

And that's how to get and use the Music Box in Phasmophobia. For more tips and detailed information on the game, including how to Prestige, be sure to visit The Escapist.
