The game, currently for sale on Amazon, advertises itself as "The Holy Spirit Board can answer all of life's most important questions, straight from the man himself!" and that it is "Perfect for churches, prayer groups or just getting together with friends."
Definitely a mockery. Biblically speaking, Christians already get answers "from the man Himself", no external tools needed. You already know that, but I said it for those who don't.

It's always interesting to see peoples' unshakeable faith get effortlessly shaken. Note that I said interesting, not constructive. Like watching a paraplegic jump out of his chair because a spider fell in his lap.

Television already does what any Ouija Board could ever do.

The occult and false worship is creeping into most churches around the nation. Prosperity gospel (Money / physical wealth, what can God do for me), culture worshiping the latest fads, and of course the good old reliable occult and new age practices.
A great example show here with a so called "Christian Ouija Board". They know what they are doing and I am shocked on how fast they have achieved it in the last 20 or so years.
Sadly, this is the very type of scenario that can confuse and deceive people who are not Christian or are still immature in their faith.

Christianity has been the subject of mockery and derision since Jesus walked the earth and shared with the world that He was the hope for salvation.
In today's world, that mockery has taken the form of occult practices thinly veiled in Christian cover to deceive and cause division in its wake.
A group that created the YouTube page "Holy Spirit Games" also created a "Christian" Ouija board claiming that people will be able to communicate with Christ directly.
Creating a "Christian" Ouija board opens the spiritual doors to demonic oppression however, a consequence the group is either ignorant of, do not care about, or was the intended result in the first place.

You have no reason to fear the Ideomotor reflex. No Ouija Board, no matter how faithfully one deludes themselves, is capable of being a medium. At most, it can give you the "most likely answer."
When I was younger, I did an experiment called "Will Ouija Boards Work When People Are Blindfolded?"
All participants wore blindfolds when playing.
Not one legible word was spelled. Total Gibberish. Worked like normal, the dealy would move, but it couldn't do anything linguistic without people's subconscious to guide the ideomotor muscle movements in the fingertips. I expected it wouldn't move at all. Someone was dominant enough to try to spell something, but failed to come close.
Not the only person to try that. Love YouTube.
While you really can't convince anyone a Hasboro toy isn't going to open their mind up to darkness, at most, it's a pageant people play with themselves.
My thinking is that a possessive spirit wouldn't need to use our feeble human senses to spell anything. They are marketing superstition. It lacks omnipotence that it should have.
Played with all sorts of these devices. One time, we got bored with normal play and started messing with it. You can literally treat it like an 1800's high society butler, give it a new name, call it your ghost slave, and it will still answer just like a game would. Nothing evil was ever unleashed. If that was a demon talking, then we could treat a demon with disdain and make it behave like a subservient butler named "Reginald Pennyfeather of Sussex".
Like everything else "occult" its greatest effects were accomplished by people mindf***ing themselves into fearing what a toy does.
Completely different experience when approached without inherent superstitions that make you fear what it can do.

I never got much out of Ouija boards, they just sat motionless and I'd fall asleep.
I had a friend when I was in HS. Her father and his girlfriend were both professors at NMSU. They got together for Ouija sessions one of twice a week. It freaked my friend out. She claimed that the Ouija told her father all her high school girl secrets. Like if we told him we were going to the school football game, and actually went down to the river to smoke pot, he would know before we even got back. This was in the 70s so there werent tracking devices yet. I don't think he followed us either, as we started out where we were supposed to be.
It told him things about me that he couldn't know.
After that, I never tried again.....
