A new board game marketed as a ‘Christian’ version of the Ouija board, Holy Spirit Boardhas sparked a great deal of controversy among clergymen, and a priest-exorcist describes it as a ‘devil’s trap’.
This Holy Spirit Board is a real game that anyone can find on sites like Amazon, according to Oddity Central. It’s basically a Ouija board, only instead of demons, ghosts, and other unholy beings, “This is a one-way ticket to heaven” which is based on the classic system to allow users communicate directly with “our Lord and savior Jesus Christ”.
The layout of the board is similar to that of the Ouija, only that it is decorated with Christian symbols such as Jesus crucified on the cross, three angels and a dove. Instead of the triangular pendant that moves on the Ouija board, the Holy Spirit board uses a golden cross.
“Get the answers you need! The Holy Spirit Board can answer all of life’s most important questions, directly from the man himself! Unlike other spirit boards, this one will never contact evil ghosts or demons, so you can ask your questions with a guaranteed sense of safety.”, says the description of the board game.

For an exorcist, it’s a devilish game
For his part, Roman Catholic Father Ernesto Caro of the Diocese of Monterey, Mexico, in an interview with EWTN’s News Nightly, criticized the game: “The devil is always looking for different ways that he can trap all the victims he can take for himself. And this is one. Ouija games and all that is forbidden in the Bible”.
“If the triangle moves by itself, be careful, it is not God who moves, it is the devil”warned Caro, who is known for performing exorcisms.
When asked what people who bought the controversial board game should do, the exorcist said they should get rid of the board as quickly as possible, confess and repent, and ask God for deliverance. They should also ask a priest to give an additional blessing for protection, just to be safe.
