Sorry,
Doors Closing

Morning elevator. You're by the buttons.
Someone's running for it.
Hold the door, or close it?

How to play

  • Hold Open and the doors stay open. You can wait for people, but the clock keeps ticking
  • Press Close and the doors shut and you're off. Do nothing and they close in about 2 seconds
  • Doors already closing? Open pops them back open
  • The car stops at every floor a rider presses. Every extra stop costs you time
  • Reach the 8th floor by 9:00 and you're safe. People you wait for will like you. People you shut the door on...
👔Boss: walks slowly. Wait, and they'll really like you
🏃New Hire: sprints for it. Close on them and they get squished
📱Scroller: getting on or not? Who knows
2️⃣2nd-Floor Rider: let them on and you stop at 2
📦Courier: the hand truck is huge and can go over capacity
🧹Custodian: shows up at the same time every morning

Five days, Monday to Friday. Friday has a morning meeting, so be there by 8:55.

About Sorry, Doors Closing

It's morning in an office building, and somehow you've ended up standing right next to the elevator buttons. Someone's rushing across the lobby. Do you hold Open and wait, or hit Close and leave them behind? Wait, and people like you, but the clock keeps ticking. Close, and you'll be on time, but you'll also remember that little “Oh...” on the face of the person you just shut out.

The Boss who walks at a snail's pace, the New Hire sprinting full tilt, the Scroller who may or may not be getting on, the rider who always gets off at 2, the courier pushing a hand truck... Read how they walk and what they're carrying, decide who's worth waiting for, and make it to work by 9:00, Monday through Friday. See How to play for the full rules.
