There is a malevolent spirit chasing you, and you run into this house. Its walls are spotted by crosses and portraits of saints, all torn and tampered with.

There are five rooms for you to hide in n this house, each one linked to a light switch. Each one has a color matching the doors, but always opens a random door with a different color. Their labels are the only things that don't change. Dining room, collection room, casino, kitchen, and bedroom. When you open each one, you catch a glimpse of what each one has behind it.

The one labeled dining room is full of nothing but brightly burning flames, and the collection room is a cliff fall, the bottom lined with rocks. The casino is full of the same crosses and portraits along the halls, without damage. The bedroom leads to what looks more like a library, and the kitchen leads to an enclosure with a starving lion.

Each time you flip the switches, the arrangement of these exits randomizes. Which setting would you rather be in the next time you flip each switch?
