How to Get & Use the Music Box in Phasmophobia

Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Guide to Location, Usage, and Hunt Triggers

Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape with their lives. The game's frequent updates introduce new elements, including the intriguing Music Box. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this valuable tool.

Locating the Music Box

Like other cursed items 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 find one. Only a single Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to activate its unique properties.

Utilizing the Music Box

The Music Box offers several strategic advantages. Upon activation, it plays a tune. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its proximity. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. This allows for strategic placement, luring the ghost to a specific location. Note that the Music Box automatically stops playing after the song concludes. Holding the activated Music Box will also decrease your sanity.

Triggering Hunts with the Music Box

The Music Box can initiate either a standard or cursed hunt, depending on specific circumstances:

• Throwing the active Music Box: Throwing the Box while it's playing will trigger a hunt.
• Reaching 0% Sanity while holding the active Box: Depleted sanity while holding the playing Music Box also triggers a hunt.
• Ghost proximity to the active Box: The ghost remaining near the active Music Box for over five seconds will initiate a hunt.
• Ghost proximity to the player holding the active Box: A ghost near the player holding the active Music Box can trigger a hunt.

For optimal use, consider carrying supplementary tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a crucial survival advantage during a triggered hunt, allowing for continued ghost identification or objective completion.
