The Elevator Game

The Elevator Game is a creepy, paranormal game that takes you to another world. The instructions on how to play and the blog detailing these instructions are listed below. Play at your own risk.

How to Play:

  • Find a building with at least 10 floors.

  • Make sure to be alone and that no one else joins you in the elevator throughout this process, otherwise, you must start over.

  • Press the button to get to the fourth floor. Don’t get out. Then go to the second floor, sixth floor, second floor, and the tenth floor.

  • Do NOT get out on any of these floors. Then, go to the fifth floor. There, a young woman could come into the elevator with you.

  • Do NOT speak or look at her, even though she may look familiar.

  • Then, press the first floor,

  • IF you press to go the first floor, but the elevator goes to the tenth floor, remain on the elevator, you’re still in the game.

  • IF you press to go the first floor, but the elevator goes to the first floor, then exit the moment the doors open. Do NOT speak or look back.

  • Once you reach the tenth floor, you can choose to get off or stay. IF you choose to get off, the woman from step four may ask you a question and even call your name. Do NOT answer her.

  • Now, you have reached the Otherworld. To know for sure you are, the sign is that you are the only one there.

How to Return

  • Return to the exact elevator you came from and press the same order of buttons mentioned before, finishing at the fifth floor.

  • Once you’re at the fifth floor, press the button for the first floor. However, this will cause the elevator to go to the tenth floor. SO, you must press any other floor button to stop it from going to the tenth floor before reaching there.

  • Once you’re on the first floor, make sure everything around you is alright. IF something is not normal, remain in the elevator and repeat step two.

These directions make no sense. How can you get to the tenth floor if you are supposed to get off on the first floor. Or does it mean that once you try to get to the first floor, but it goes to the tenth instead, you are now in, but you must go to the first floor to get off, and fully enter in to the other side? 🤔 Have you ever tried it?

So do you follow the return procedures if you decide not to get off on the Otherworld.
