About Behave in Elevator
Imagine stepping into a tiny, imaginary lift crammed with strangers, each armed with absurd intentions and questionable etiquette—that’s basically the setup of Behave in Elevator. You and your friends draw scenario cards that paint a hilarious snapshot of elevator life: someone’s belting out karaoke, another’s practicing yoga, and maybe there’s a runaway ferret. Then you all secretly choose what you’d do—cringe, confront, or join in—and simultaneously reveal your “move” cards. The challenge is in guessing who’s the bold show-off, who’s the terrified wall-flower, and who’s plotting to start a conga line.
What makes it pop at parties is its simple rules and lightning-fast rounds. Each turn takes just a minute or two: draw a scene, pick an action, swap reactions, and count whose choice wins you “polite applause” points. No complicated scoring sheets, no board pieces to keep track of—just whimsical cards and plenty of room for improv. If you get stuck, there are suggestion cards that nudge your creativity: maybe your “confront” move is a polite cough, or your “join” move involves an impromptu slice of pizza.
Conversations spill over into the next round as players debate: “Why would you serenade a sugar-high toddler in an enclosed metal box?” or “Seriously, one more elevator yoga pose, and someone’s putting you in the foetal position.” That banter is half the fun, turning a handful of cards into a memory of inside jokes and who-would-ever-have-thought moments. Even the shyest guest can crack up trying to keep a straight face while the group votes on their best—or worst—behaviors.
If you’re hunting for a light, laughter-packed icebreaker or just a quirky twist on classic party games, Behave in Elevator fits the bill. It’s perfect for small groups who don’t mind a bit of silliness—college students, game-night regulars, or family gatherings where everyone’s up for a good chuckle. And because scenarios are one-off, you can play again and again without repeating the same bizarre elevator encounters.
