This is very true. I have a feeling though, considering this is a mobile game, that every day will become harder and harder. It will speed up a little more, move a little closer, and become more varied in it's timing as we have already seen.

Just like something like candy crush, they hook you with easy levels then turn on p2w mode, except this game, payment is dinner

Although an airplane is fairly small, maybe a personal sized airplane could work? I doubt he’d be able to start the game within 10 feet of you, so maybe him teleporting to his X distance away while you’re in a personal plane could result in him just falling out of the sky. It also seems like people (so far) have been safe while in cars, so movement seems to be a better solution than just hiding or staying put.

Sounds to me like it can appear within x distance of wherever you are at the start of the game and has the ability to shift through objects, so I don't think it appearing on an airplane is out of the question.

Also, remember only the boyfriend was playing but it killed the girlfriend too. Which means it likely either considers everyone with the player to be playing too, or doesn't leave witnesses, but either way seems to not leave anyone alive if they find the hider. Lot of lives in jeopardy if it can get on the plane.

Yes. Whilst the situation as a whole definitely sounds sinister, the question of 'can you hide' feels like a child's invitation. It sounds similar to a child asking 'can you play with me?'. Maybe the Creaker- malevolent spirit or not- is extending the invitation. Inevitably someone will say yes if they just ask enough people.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about the teleportation. I think some more experimentation would be necessary, since you obviously wouldn’t want to be trapped in a place like a plane if it could get in there with you. The fact that you can track it on the phone location though means you should be able to know if it’s teleporting. I also would still want to look into how it interacts with the phone reception/Wi-Fi. It doesn’t seem like OP tested that from what I could see. That might be part of the trick since destroying the phone didn’t seem to help at least with hearing the creaker.

"Doesn't appear to have any special movement abilities"

Except where it appeared in the friend's attic and house to begin with. He said they pulled the ladder hatch up into the attic.

The cruise ship or airplane would be an even worse option because if the Creaker can teleport, and we have to assume it can to get into the house or attic, then a confined place like that is an even worse option.

We have to assume if it sees you once it's effectively game over because it will apparently more aggressively go after you. At that point sitting still and hiding is a death (or worse) sentence. Really the only option is to either destroy the phone or gamble on "No". Because simply being around someone who is playing and is found means bad news for you, as Tracy found out
