I'll be doing a workshop in a few weeks, and I wanna raise awareness about predatory lootbox paytowin games. I wanna play live, an easy to start playing and understand game, that is so sneaky and predatory that some kid would very easily buy some microtransaction or lootbox without even realizing what they just did.

Basically I wanna play it like "Ohhh, look at this game, looks so fun, oh, what is this? more gems? lets see, Nooooo!!!!! I just bought a microtransaction, I won't be able to eat for a month"

Do you have some recommendation for that purpose?

Trove and Wizard 101 are pretty predatory, but kids might not see it that way until they accidentally do, but you can see it right from the start.
