Community:NowDoTheHarlemShake/The Normal Elevator

The Normal Elevator is a game made by NowDoTheHarlemShake. It is a game in which players enter an elevator and play different minigames. The elevator goes to different floors which may have minigames, such as a chicken eating contest, a basketball game, etc. Thanks in part to its somewhat bizarre premise, this game has gained immense popularity and is commonly found on the front page of games. The game currently has 33 floors (reduced from 34 prior to October 2016).

This game won the Bloxy Award for Best Art Direction in 2015.

This game achieved 100 million place visits on February 18, 2017. It currently has over 364 million place visits as of February 2020.

Speed Run
Players were given a set of levels that you have to complete in one go. Winning this minigame gives you the Speed Run badge. This minigame lasted 60 seconds.

This floor has some connection to Gavin's story, as at the start at the event, you will be teleported to the speedrun floor, and you must jump to the rocks, then go to a hallway, and you will see four elevators. The second elevator will be opened, but in the regular game, it's closed up by yellow caution tapes.

Wheel of Misfortune
