About the game
Ever imagined being trapped in an old, dark, creaky elevator with some hungry ghosts? Well, that's exactly what happened to you and your friends in Ghost Lift! The setting is an abandoned building where a crazy elevator moves up and down on its own, driven by spirits desperately trying to find their way back to their former apartments. If you want to escape alive, you'll have to play your cards right to deliver these ghosts to the correct floors. It's a fast-paced card game where the tension lies in deciding whether to play a higher or lower card than the last one, following the direction indicated by the arrows. The goal is simple but intense: be the first to empty your hand and escape safely. Anyone left with cards in their hand gets haunted, and you'll need to keep track of those mistakes. The game continues through multiple rounds until someone accumulates too many losses—specifically, if you're caught with the same number three times or the same three numbers twice, you're out! It's the perfect game for those who love a spooky atmosphere but want something that wraps up in minutes. Ideal for fans of quick card games with a dash of horror and plenty of player interaction. Get ready for the chills and try not to become another permanent resident of this building!
