Phasmophobia: Unlocking and Employing the Music Box

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

Phasmophobia challenges players to identify ghost types and escape alive. The game's updates have introduced new tools, including the Music Box. This guide details how to obtain and effectively utilize this valuable item.

Locating the Music Box

The Music Box, like other cursed objects in Phasmophobia, has a 1/7 chance of appearing on any given map. Its spawn is random; there's no guaranteed method to find one. 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. Here's how it functions:

Upon activation, the Music Box plays a song. If a ghost is within 20 meters, it will "sing along," revealing its approximate location. Within 5 meters, the ghost will approach the Box. You can place the activated Box on the ground to lure the ghost. The Box automatically stops playing and closes after the song concludes. Note that holding the Music Box depletes your sanity.

Triggering Hunts with the Music Box

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

• Throwing the active Music Box (not placing it down).
• Reaching 0% sanity while holding the active Music Box.
• The ghost approaching the Music Box for over five seconds.
• The ghost's proximity to the player holding the active Music Box.

Strategic Gameplay

For optimal use, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks before activating the Music Box. This safeguards your survival during a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost or complete other objectives.
