With the thought of things you're not supposed to do but can get away with cuz it doesn't really effect the other guests and therefor I see no problem with it *breathes* I had another recollection of one of my trips..
Ever play Hotel Elevator Tag?
Required for game:
Glass elevators (2 or more prefered, opposites ends of hotel with large open space between works quite well, as long as from inside the elevator you can see all of the "playing space" levels.)
Running Shoes.
How to Play:
Remember, you can't upset any of the other guests or staff of the hotel. Screaming and other game-noise is to be kept at a minimum, especially after certain hours, in which the game is to played in Stealth mode. The object is to have 2 small "teams" (singular players against one another works, but with more than 2 parties playing it gets difficult to keep track) I team is assigned to "evade" and the other to "capture." Now the fun begins.
The object of course is to catch or avoid being caught.
Other hotel guests and staff who enter the elevator with you get first say on button pushing. No more than a 3-button command may be entered at any given time (I'll explain their strategical purpose later) Closing the door on hotel guests is a serious foul and the team doing so will be declared the automatic losers.
All levels of the Hotel are allowed, but majority of playing time must be in plain-sight from elevators. No hiding allowed, unless teams are on the same floor at the same time. Balcony railing is to never, I repeat, NEVER, to be gone over.
Hotel Staircases are acceptable playing area, though you may only traverse one flight of stairs at a time, after which you must return to the playing field and either continue with elevators or travel field to another flight of stairs.
Hotel Lobby and ground-floor is the forbidden zone. All players found within will be automatically disqualified.
Maids and Baggage clerks are to be treated courteously. Riding on maid kart and/or baggage rack is only allowed with permission of handler. Walking is required within 10ft of all hotel staff, or any snooty looking guests. Any players found reprimanded by hotel staff will be automatically disqualified.
Strategy:
If a hotel has more than elevators in pairs, you can taunt the other side by riding up and down past them and waving through the glass.
Pre-programming of elevators may be done, for example, entering the elevator while it is traveling down, a player could exit at the 4th floor, send it down to the ground floor, and then catch a flight of stairs to catch it again on the 6th floor when it starts back up again.
Warning:
Avoid getting vertigo, do no look over 8th floor railing
Okay, everyone have fun
