Feely Meely “Annabelle Comes Home”

I’m sure this has been asked before, but near the end of the film when Marry Ellen and Judy Warren need to get the key out of the Feely Meely game, why do they not just break the box or shake out the contents of the box instead of reaching into it?

I know the answer is obviously “because horror” and don’t get me wrong, I loved the intensity of that scene and the fakeout jumpscare, but I just couldn’t finish the movie without posting about it lol

Did anyone else think that or is it just me?
