We all know what it is like in a crowded elevator. People act strange. Physically, people face the door, eyes front as if in a trance, and remain as quiet as possible. It's like another world.

Mentally, everyone is watching other people in the elevator and adopting beliefs about them.

Imagine that all of you are now standing in a lobby waiting for the elevator to arrive. As you get settled, take a card from the stack I am holding and tape it securely to the back of another person in the group without them seeing it. These are the people around you. The challenge is for you to interact with each other based only on what the cards say.

Take a moment to read the cards on everyone's back. Now mingle with each other until I say stop (about 5 minutes).

Ok, the elevator has arrived and you all want to ride at the same time. Everyone must remain inside for the long 5 second ride to your floors. The elevator will only operate when everyone is completely inside it. A safety trigger will stop the car anytime someone steps outside of the elevator, and then return you to the ground floor.

In the last few minutes you have grown to know each other, but not enough to let someone get on your shoulders.This is too uncomfortable. I challenge you all to stay safe and to stay in character! Good luck.
