Discover the Secrets: Unlocking Phasmophobia's Mysterious Music Box

In Phasmophobia, identifying ghost types and escaping alive are paramount. The game's frequent updates introduce new ghosts and interactive objects, including the Music Box. This guide explains how to obtain and utilize it effectively.

Locating the Music Box

Similar to other cursed items in Phasmophobia, the Music Box has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its spawn is random; there's no guaranteed method. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Once located, interact with it to pick it up and activate it with another interaction.

Utilizing the Music Box

Several strategies involve the Music Box. 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. You can place the activated Box on the ground as a lure. The song ends, and the Box automatically closes. Note that holding the active Box depletes your Sanity.

Triggering a Hunt

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

• Throwing the active Box.
• Reaching 0% Sanity while holding the active Box.
• The ghost approaching the Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Box.

For optimal use, consider bringing additional equipment like Smudge Sticks to improve survival chances during a triggered hunt, allowing for ghost identification or objective completion.
