Getting the Music Box in Phasmophobia

In Phasmophobia, the Music Box, like other cursed possessions, has a one in seven chance of spawning on the map. This randomness means you'll need a bit of luck to find it. Only one Music Box can appear per map, so if it spawns during your session, you can pick it up and activate it by clicking the Interact key once more.

How to Use the Music Box

The Music Box offers various strategic uses in Phasmophobia, which I'll delve into shortly. First, let's understand its basic functionality. Upon activation, the Music Box begins playing 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 active Music Box on the ground to lure the ghost closer. The Box will automatically stop playing once the song ends. Remember, your Sanity will decrease while you're holding the Music Box.

How to Start a Hunt With the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a cursed hunt or a standard hunt under 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.

For effective use, consider bringing additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase your chances of survival if a hunt starts. This strategy not only helps in identifying the ghost type but also aids in completing other map objectives.

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 check out The Escapist.
