I don't believe in it, but think it's possible. So I don't mess with it, just to err on the side of caution. So I'd try and distract everyone into doing something else

I use the fact that anyone can subtly influence what the viewer is doing to make it say something funny.

I'd go find the food and the dog and the cat, in that order. If other people are near those areas, they can pet the dog as well. Hopefully there's an outside where you can see stars/mountains.

I’d play. Why not? It’s just a silly group activity.

Since many of my friends are playing Phasmophobia, I'd probably sneak up to them and just ask loudly "Do you want to play hide and seek?"

for the uninitiated

The game is about ghost hunting and trying to figure out with what type of ghost you're dealing with. One of the cursed possession you can use is an ouija board. You can use it to ask the ghost questions. If you ask the ghost to play hide and seek, the ghost initiates a count down from 5 to 0, then manifests itself and goes hunting - read try to find and kill one or more players.

Don't believe in it, but I like spooky activities so I'd join, it sounds like a blast.

It's collective. That's how it 'works'.

Clutch my Jesus pendant and gasp at how evil the whole thing is.

Start casting out the demons as loudly as possible.

Make sure everyone knows how Christian i am.

Ruin a harmless party game for my friends.

Wonder why they don't invite me anymore.

Talk about it at youth group on Thursday.

Get pat on back from creepy pastor who invites me to dinner alone with him tomorrow night.

It's nonsense so of course I'd join in and try to move it to spell something sinister. 🤷
