Mastering the Music Box in Phasmophobia: A Comprehensive Guide

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

Acquiring the Music Box

Like 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 obtain it. Only one Music Box can spawn per game. Upon finding it, interact with it to activate its chilling melody.

Utilizing the Music Box

Several strategies revolve around the Music Box. Once activated, it plays a tune. A ghost within 20 meters will "sing along," revealing its location. Proximity matters; within five meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can strategically place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The song concludes automatically, and the Box closes. Note that holding the active Box depletes your sanity.

Triggering a Hunt

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

• Throwing the active Box (not placing it down).
• 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.

Strategic Gameplay

For optimal use, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks. These provide a survival advantage during a triggered hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost or complete objectives.
