Updated the Perk's description to specify the types of Attack instead of just referring to them as "offensive actions".
Token Acquisition
Tokens are acquired whenever the Killer's Obsession escapes a Chase and the Chase Score Event triggers for the Killer. Due to the current functionality of the Chase mechanic, attempting to force an escape can feel unsatisfactory and sluggish.
Strategies such as turning one's back on the Obsession and losing line-of-sight can accelerate the Token Acquisition, but are unreliable in doing so.
If the Killer has the ability to cloak themselves at will with the UndetectableStatus Effect, doing so will immediately end the Chase and award a Token.
Attacks and Tokens
It has occurred in the past that Attack conditions changed without mention in-between Patches. The list below should therefore be taken with a grain of salt. The Wiki only guarantees the accuracy of the list until the most recent test for each entry listed below.
Play with Your Food, while not specifically mentioning it, increases all types of Movement speed of the Killer, not just their Walking speed.
Any time a Killer is not moving at their default Walking speed, Play with Your Food will still apply its bonus towards that, this includes Power-use states, Carrying, Crouching, Stalking, Cool-down states, Wind-up/Charge states, etc.
Play with Your Food is often abbreviated as the initialism "PWYF".
Play with Your Food generally does not deplete Tokens on Attacks that are inherently unable to damage Survivors when they hit.
Killer Power Trivia
As The Cannibal: each individual usage of a Charge during the Chainsaw Sweep is considered a separate attack and will deplete a Token each.
As The Twins: Victor is not considered as a Killer-entity by Play with Your Food, but rather a Power attack.
This makes it possible to gain Tokens by switching back-and-forth between Charlotte and Victor, which breaks the Chase on the Obsession.
Despite seeing the HasteStatus Effect on his HUD, Victor does not benefit from the Movement Speed bonus and will deplete Tokens when pouncing.
As The Trickster: each thrown Blade is considered a separate attack and will deplete a Token each.
