Daemonium Motus: Summon your very own demon in 12 easy steps! Screenshot of one of the questions from the game, it reads: 'Your demon is handed an eyeball - they know who it belongs to. If they take it - they will be able to see the 4th colour.' Responses: 'Take it' - 'Return it' - 'What do you mean... 4th colour?' A close up of the play doh heart made by the first group to play the game A group of people kneeling round the game's custom controller, their hands on the planchett. The custom controller is designed to look like a horizontal tombstone, with a mask/face at the top, and various copper plates for the players to indicate their choices for each personality quiz question.

A game made for the Now Play This x Design Lab game jam held at Abertay in June 2024, with Rhoda Ellis, Ewan Fisher, Claire Morwood, and Lewis Pyke. A custom controller demon summoning ritual by way of online personality quiz.

Players gather around the cardboard tombstone, answering personality quiz questions (ouiji board-style) by moving the planchette to the appropriate icon. Part way through the process players must construct the demon's heart out of play doh, and to complete the ritual they must all link hands (with the cardboard/copper demon's hands that are part of the tombstone), and recite the secret chant.
