The Elevator Game

Note by the author: Any constructive criticism is accepted!
The Elevator Game is one of the more well-known and easier methods to enter an alternate reality. It is a Korean ritual which involves using an elevator as a vessel to enter the "Otherworld". There are many different versions of this game that have slightly altered rules to the version we will be talking about. However, for the sake of simplicity, we will only be talking about the most popular version of the ritual.
==What you will need:==
*A building that has at least ten floors overground.
*An elevator in the building that is capable of going ten floors overground.
*You must be the only person performing this ritual.
**If you bring anyone else along with you, the ritual will not work.
Once all of those requirements have been ticked off, you may proceed with the ritual! While you can do this ritual at any time, I recommend you do it at a time when it is less busy for reasons that will be stated later on.
==The ritual==
Step 1: Enter your chosen building.
Step 2: Enter an elevator. Make sure you stay on the first floor.
Step 3: Press the button for the fourth floor. If anyone happens to get on with you, do not continue with the ritual. This is why I suggested that you do this ritual at times which are less busy.
Step 4: Once you reach the fourth floor, do not get out. Press the button for the second floor. If anyone gets on the elevator, stop the ritual.
Step 5: Once you reach the second floor, do not get out. Press the button for the sixth floor. If anyone gets on the elevator, stop the ritual.
Step 6: Once you reach the sixth floor, do not get out. Press the button for the second floor. If anyone gets on the elevator, stop the ritual.
Step 7: Once you reach the second floor, do not get out. Press the button for the tenth floor. If anyone gets on the elevator, stop the ritual.
Step 8: Once you reach the tenth floor, do not get out. Press the button for the fifth floor. If anyone gets on the elevator, stop the ritual.
Step 9: Once you reach the fifth floor, do not get out. Press the button for the first floor.
So far, everything has been dull. You simply press some buttons, wait for the elevator to reach that floor, then pick another floor. All while praying no one else enters the elevator and ruins the ritual. However, this is when things begin to get paranormal...
Step 10: A woman might enter the elevator on the fifth floor. If this happens, DO NOT LOOK AT HER. DO NOT SPEAK TO HER. DO NOT TOUCH HER. She is not what she seems. If you break any of the instructions in bold, you might as well say goodbye to your "normal" life, and I mean it in a bad way. To put it bluntly, she will take you as one of her own. Or she may not capture you immediately and instead try to give you a good scare first before capturing you.
Step 11: From here, two things will happen:
*If the elevator descends, the ritual has failed. Once the elevator arrives at the first floor, get out and leave the building immediately without comment and do not turn back whatsoever. You can try the ritual again.
*If the elevator ascends, you may continue with the ritual.
**If you are beginning to have second thoughts about this ritual, this is your last chance to stop. To end this ritual, press the button for the first floor before the elevator passes the ninth floor. Once you reach the first floor, leave the building without comment and do not turn back.
Once the elevator reaches the tenth floor, you have two options:
#You can stay aboard the elevator.
#You can leave the elevator.
Should you choose to leave the elevator, you will need to stay vigilant. You can become easily disoriented in the "Otherworld". Reports have varied as to what is in this dimension. Some include mentions of a dark red cross in the sky and that electronic devices, such as phones, stop working. The lights may also be shut off and there might be a strange mist filling the floor. However, the most prominent feature of this twisted reality is that there will only be you, and the woman who entered the elevator.
==How to exit the alternate reality==
Exiting the alternate reality is just as easy as entering it. However, the instructions will vary depending on if you decided to leave the elevator or not.
===If you choose to stay aboard the elevator===
Step 1: Press the button for the first floor.
Step 2: Once you have reached the first floor, leave the building and do not turn back.
===If you choose to leave the elevator===
Step 1: Enter the same elevator you used to enter the "Otherworld".
Step 2: Go to the following floors in the order shown: 4-2-6-2-10-5. Do not get out when the doors open.
Step 3: Once you have reached the fifth floor, press the button for the first floor.
Step 4: The elevator might ascend to the tenth floor. If this happens, cancel the ascension by press the button for the first floor repeatedly until the elevator starts descending. Do this before the elevator reaches the tenth floor.
Step 5: Once you have reached the first floor, DO NOT GET OUT JUST YET. Take a look around the area outside the elevator. Are there people? If so, are they reacting normal? Does anything seem out of place? If you feel you have not returned to the normal reality, repeat Steps 2-4, until you are certain you have left the "Otherworld".
Step 6: If you have been correct about your judgment and have returned to our normal reality, leave the building without comment and head home immediately without looking back.
Step 7: If you have been incorrect about your judgment and have decided to leave the elevator, I'm sorry. The only advice I can give you is to hurry back to the elevator. If you somehow lose track of the elevator or you get caught by something, get comfy as you will probably never return back home.
===Final notes===
*If you faint while you are in the "Otherworld", you will wake up at your house. However, make sure you look around when you wake up. You might still be in the "Otherworld".
*As stated previously, do not look, touch or speak to the woman. Her appearance could be an illusion to try and trick you.
*Make sure you keep a note of these instructions as electronic devices may not work.
==Conclusion==
This page should have given knowledge on how to survive the elevator game should you foolishly decide to play this game. Of course, you should not do this ritual at all, or any other ritual on this wiki as a matter of fact. However, if you are dared to play this game and do not want to be called a chicken by your "friends" then this guide should massively help you.
Just stay safe, ok?
