The Music Box is a tool featured in Identity V. It is wielded by Margaretha Zelle; the Female Dancer. It cannot be obtained by other survivors, similar to the Mind’s Eye's cane, the Priestess‘s Holy Key, the Cowboy's Lasso, or the Little Girl's Memory Fragment.

Gameplay[]

The music box's tune can be changed to be faster or slower, with the red music box being faster and the blue music box being slower. Once a music box is placed, it will effect a fairly large circular area, colored in blue or red, depending on which music box that has been placed down, and with soft music coming from the box. Survivors within the range of a Fast Music Box will have their speed of movement and all interactions increased, but the Hunter will not be affected. Hunters within the range of a Slow Music Box will have their speed of movement and all interactions decreased, and it will not affect survivors. Hunters can break both types of music boxes by stepping on them.

Fast Music Boxes are commonly placed near Cipher Machines or the Exit Gates to increase decoding speed, while slow music boxes are placed in areas used by the survivors to escape the hunter for a longer period of time, such as near pallets or large obstacles.

Appearance[]

The music box takes on the form of a normal music box. It is wooden and has a heartbeat illustration on the top of the music box (varies if current music box plays slow music or fast music). It has a golden dispenser that dispenses and retracts red or blue music sheets.

Trivia[]

  • Sergei (the original Smiley Face and Margaretha's late husband) gave Margaretha the music boxes as a gift as stated in her 4th Deduction Quest.
  • Once all Music Boxes have been used, Margaretha can pick up an item from a teammate or Chest.
  • Music Boxes will disappear after 5 minutes or once the Female Dancer who placed them is eliminated from the match.
  • Her fast boxes originally also affected the hunter, while her slow boxes also affected other survivors who weren't Margaretha. This was adjusted during one of her buffs.
  • In July 2021, the music boxes were updated to be reusable (through picking them up) and to give Margaretha a dashing ability within their radius (called "Slide").
