Elevator 21
Read full descriptionHide full description
The lobby is filling up. Three elevators. One perfect number: 21. Drag numbered guests into a lift and send them upstairs. Land exactly on 21 for a perfect departure — go over and the car busts. Chain perfect lifts to light a fire streak with bigger and bigger bonuses. Every floor changes the night: seat VIPs, keep couples together, flick troublemakers out, read hidden totals and beat express timers. Clear all 21 floors to run the night. • One-handed portrait play with big, readable numbers • 21 floors, each with its own twist • Hardcore Night: 3 rescues per floor, one loss ends the run, and its own leaderboard • Game Center world rankings • Lost a floor? Use a Joker or watch a video to continue exactly where you lost — or drop back a floor and fight your way up • Plays offline • Original disco soundtrack with separate music and sound controls • 12 languages Fair by design: rescued stages never count toward the leaderboard, and nothing you can buy raises your rank. Optional Joker packs and a one-time Remove Ads purchase support the game.
