Rules

  • The game will not begin until each player enters a window cleaning lift
  • Each player starts at the 10th floor of the building
  • A question will appear on the screen. Below the question shows collected answers from a survey. The data has a majority and a minority. Players must select whether the majority of people surveyed were correct, or whether the minority of people surveyed were correct
  • Answering correctly with a majority moves the lift up 1 floor, answering correctly with a minority moves the lift up 2 floors
  • Answering incorrectly with a majority moves the lift down 1 floor and gives the player a high current shock, answering incorrectly with a minority results in GAME OVER
  • Tricking another player into picking the wrong answer grants a bonus 5 floors up in addition to the floors moved up when answering correctly
  • It is GAME CLEAR if the 20th floor is reached
  • It is GAME OVER if the ground floor is reached

Details

The questions start off extremely simple but progressively become harder and harder, eventually becoming absurd. However, starting from the 10th question, the survey data is omitted, and the questions, instead of obscure trivia, are ones about the office building which is the venue for the game. Essentially, it's now a guessing game with 50/50 odds.

Solution

The waiting room where all players enter and register had a selection of pamphlets containing all the answers to the 10th question and onward! If all players continuously answered majority for all the questions they were unsure about, then brought the pamphlet along for the questions after the 10th question, all players would've been able to clear the game without any guessing.
