Obtaining the Music Box

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

Using the Music Box

Several strategies involve the Music Box. Upon activation, it plays a song. 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 to lure the ghost. The song ends automatically, and the Box closes. Note that holding the active Box decreases 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 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, carry additional tools like Smudge Sticks to increase survival chances during a hunt, allowing you to identify the ghost or complete objectives.
