If you really want to fuck them up just make them play WoW.
You get to be an animal, and run around and explore an expansive but uncomplicated world. You meet other animals (players), and try to communicate with only animal noises and emojis. And you run around together collecting resources, that unlock more animals or animal things to use.
It's wonderful.
It doesn't directly answer your question, but this playlist of videos is tangentially related. It's showing the experience of trying various games/genres of games for someone who is not at all a gamer. It was really interesting to see some of the things that gamers might take for granted which are completely foreign to someone who hasn't been steeped in gaming.

Stardew Valley or Minecraft.
I find Nintendo games are great for people that don't play games much.
If they're very young, one of the most recent yoshi games are very easy to play.
Or else a nice 2D platformer like Mario wonder. You can play with them and help if necessary.
If you want them to get used to 3D style games Mario Odyssey or Astro's playroom on ps5 are very fun to play.
