Скачать или смотреть The New Year’s Eve Elevator Game The Ritual That Opens a Door to 1973

It started as a TikTok trend. Then it became a warning.

Known online as “The New Year’s Elevator Game,” the ritual promises a glimpse of your future—if you’re brave enough to play it exactly at 11:59 p.m. on December 31st.

Here’s how it’s said to work:

Enter an elevator alone.
Press the button for every floor—but only on odd-numbered floors: 1, 3, 5, 7…
When the doors close, say: “Show me the New Year I deserve.”
At midnight, the elevator supposedly opens to a different time—usually New Year’s Eve, 1973—where a version of yourself is waiting.
In 2021, a group of friends in Chicago tried it as a joke. Security footage shows them entering at 11:58 p.m. The elevator doors closed… and never reopened.

At 12:03 a.m., the car reset—empty. Their phones were found on the floor… all showing the same photo: a grainy image of a 1970s hotel ballroom, with one of them in vintage clothes, holding a champagne glass… and smiling with eyes wide in terror.

But the real mystery began in 2023, when a retired elevator mechanic from Pittsburgh came forward. He claimed that in 1973, a similar incident happened at the Grand Riverview Hotel—six guests vanished during a New Year’s party after reportedly playing a “spirit elevator” game. The hotel sealed the elevator shaft and shut down in 1975.

Here’s the chilling part:
The Chicago building? Built on the exact same site.

Now, urban explorers and paranormal investigators say the game doesn’t predict the future—it repeats it. And every year, someone tries it… hoping for luck.

But those who return—if they return—report the same thing:

“The clock never struck one. It just kept chiming midnight… over and over.”

So this New Year’s Eve, if you’re tempted to press those buttons…
remember:
Some doors don’t lead forward.
They lead back—and never let you leave.
