Hold the Elevator

The idea behind the game

Morning rush, you are in the elevator and someone far down the lobby shouts "Hold it!" Your finger goes to the open button. But what if the car is already full? And what about the people waiting on other floors?

Hold the Elevator turns that split-second judgment call into a one-tap game. On every floor you decide who to wait for and when to let the doors go.

In real life, never put your hand or body into closing elevator doors. Keep the close calls in the game!

How to play

1. 1
   Arrive · When the car stops at a floor, the doors open by themselves and close again after a moment.
2. 2
   Hold · While you press the screen, the ◀▶ OPEN button is held and the doors stay open. Runners who reach the doors get on.
3. 3
   Let go · Release and the doors close right away. The car holds 8 riders. One more after that ends the run.
4. 4
   No one gets caught · If someone reaches the doors while they are closing, the run ends. If a runner is close, press again to reopen.
5. 5
   Not too long · When the Hold bar at the top fills up, the other floors have waited too long. Some runners turn back at the last second, so watch before you hold.
