You and your companions get trapped, and soon face God Seth’s murderous intentions . And all this, in the shadow of an extremely mysterious murder. Use combinations, act fast and solve the mystery before you find yourselves among the victims of Seth…

Charles Peterson, Head of the Department of Egyptian antiquities of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, is found murdered in the elevator leading to his apartment, a penthouse in 70 Pine street tower. A few hours before, he was in the Museum, where preparations are being made for the exhibition on Egyptian god Seth. Among the exhibits are findings that recently came to light by a group of American archaeologists and historians, who have been studying for the last 15 years the worship impact of Seth on his faithful, as well as his metaphysical role in forming cultures of later generations.

In his apartment, Peterson keeps all documents for the exhibits arrangement . Without them, nothing can proceed, and the exhibition will fall to pieces. So they decide to reach the last floor and enter Peterson’s room, in order to find what they need. But during their ascent, their plans fall apart…

From the lobby the burnished metal door to this game gleams at you invitingly, with a 1920s art deco elegance. The story is that there’s an upcoming exhibition on the Egyptian god Seth, and the head curator has been found dead; you just need to take the elevator up to his apartment on the 70th floor to retrieve his documents - easier said than done, of course.
The elevator is thankfully quite spacious, enough that the four of us could move around each other with ease, while still being small en...
This may not come as a shock to anyone, given its name, but Hellevator is a small room. Very small extremely small. Essentially, in the size of a fancy elevator. But to be clear, this is not a complaint. Quite the opposite, actually. I was very intrigued about playing this room especially because of its theme – not a huge haunted house, not a wacky pirate ship, but instead – an elevator. I really hoped for the room to find a way to stick many puzzles into the small space in a way that won’t feel too crammed, and in that sense they fully delivered.
