Rituals Games: SOME DOORS SHOULD STAY CLOSED

from Strange Darkness Radio · host Bobby Washington

Welcome to Episode 78 of Strange Darkness Radio — where curiosity pulls you in… and sometimes, something pulls back.   In this episode, Bobby Washington, Amy Tydeman, and Mike Fernandez explore the world of ritual games — the kind you’re only supposed to play once… if at all.   In the first half, we step into the eerie origins and rules behind some of the internet’s most infamous supernatural challenges. Mike breaks down the history, folklore, and supposed consequences of: • Kokkuri-san — Japan’s Ouija-like spirit summoning ritual • The Elevator Game — a step-by-step path to another dimension • The Three Kings Game — a psychological endurance ritual that blurs reality • The Midnight Game — a candlelit nightmare you may not escape   Where did these games come from? Why do people keep playing them? And what happens when the rules… aren’t followed exactly?   Then, in the second half, the atmosphere shifts.   The lights dim… The tension builds…   Amy leads a chilling round of Choose Your Curse — where there are no winning choices… only consequences. The question isn’t if you suffer… it’s how.   ⸻   ✨ March Host Spotlight — Amy Tydeman   In this episode, Bobby shines the Spotlight on Amy Tydeman — not just as a co-host, but as a driving force behind the spirit of Strange Darkness Radio.   Amy is more than a voice behind the mic… she is the heart and soul of the show.   A co-host, producer, and true ally, Amy has stood strong through the years — never once wavering, never once giving up on the vision. Her presence brings: • 🎙️ Voice of Reason • ⚡ Energy & Dedication • ❤️ Unshakable Loyalty   Through every dark topic, every late-night recording, every moment where the unknown crept a little too close… Amy has been there — grounded, fearless, and fully committed.   This Spotlight is more than recognition… it’s gratitude.   Thank you, Amy… for everything you do. Here’s to many more years of Strange Darkness Radio.   ⸻   So dim the lights… Check your mirrors… And whatever you do…   Don’t skip a step.   📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@strangedarknessradio   📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StrangeDarknessRadio   🎙️ SpeakPipe — Leave Us a Voice Message: https://www.speakpipe.com/StrangeDarknessRadio   📧 Email: [email protected]   📞 Call-In Line: 916-741-3032   🔥 Upgrade Your Gear & Support the Show   We’ve partnered with OBSBOT to bring you next-level creator tech.
