Regretevator [ ELEVATOR SIMULATOR ]
Getting into the elevator for the first time
StepWhen you join, you land in the lobby. You can explore the lobby on your own, and there are secrets to find even before you ride. Once you're ready, walk into the elevator to start a round. If a round is already running when you join, you'll enter spectator mode and drop into the next round automatically when it ends. Press G at any point to open the emote and stickers menu, which lets you communicate with other players.
- Explore the lobby
poke around before boarding; secrets are hidden here too.
- Board the elevator
step in to begin your first round.
- Check spectator mode
if you join mid-round, watch from the sidelines until the floor ends.
- Press G
open the emote and stickers menu to interact with other players during any floor.
How floors are chosen and what kinds exist
SummaryAfter each floor ends, the game picks the next one at random from a pool that includes normal, special, obby, shop, multiplayer, and boss floors. Two milestones change that pattern: every 15 floors, a shop floor is automatically selected instead of a random one, and every 50 floors, a special floor takes that slot. If you want more say in what comes up, you can spend Floor Tickets during the intermission to pick a specific floor from the Floor Selection menu.
- Normal floors
standard random challenges that make up most of a run.
- Shop floors
guaranteed at every 15th floor; spend coins on items and effects here.
- Special floors
locked in at every 50th floor milestone.
- Obby floors
platforming challenges.
- Multiplayer floors
some floors involve other players directly, like Button Competition or Four Corners.
- Boss floors
a distinct category that rounds out the floor types.

Coins and Floor Tickets
CheckCoins are the main currency. You find them on certain floors, and you can also buy them in the shop. They're used to purchase items from the shop menu or from shop floors, and to buy floors. Floor Tickets are separate — you cannot buy them with real money or from the shop. You earn them through daily reward challenges, by finding them on specific floors (for example, mining a rainbow block in the Flood Fill Mine), or by printing them from a Ticket Printer on certain floors. Spend Floor Tickets during the intermission to choose what floor comes next.
- Collect Floor Tickets from daily challenges and special floor actions.
- Used Floor Tickets during the intermission not during an active floor.
- The weekend coin multiplier runs Friday through Sunday and applies to both floor earnings and coin purchases.
Building and protecting a floor streak
TipsThe floor streak counts every floor you survive without dying. Reaching milestones that are multiples of 10 rewards coins. At every multiple of 25 floors — so at 25, 50, 75, 100, and so on — a Streak Saving pop-up appears and gives you 40 seconds to decide whether to bank your progress or keep going. If you save, you're sent to the lobby and your streak carries over when you rejoin. If the timer runs out without a choice, the game treats it as 'keep playing.' Note that floors like Four Corners, which send you to spectator mode on failure, do not add to your streak count when you fail them.
- Dying once wipes the streak.
- Respond to the Streak Saving pop-up before the 40-second timer runs out if you want to bank progress.
- If you leave the game while the pop-up is still open and the save was triggered, your progress is still kept.
- Rejoining after a save shuffles your hotbar
floor-specific items move to the front.
- Spectator-mode floors like Four Corners don't count toward your streak when you fail them.
Secrets, rare floors, and hidden badges
TipsRegretevator is built around discovery as much as surviving floors. The lobby has secrets before you even board. Individual floors hide objects, interactions, and rare variants. One example is the Mandrill Maze, a rare variant of the maze floor that most players never stumble into. Some floors also contain full side quests: one involves finding a Jerry Can and giving it to astronauts, another asks you to rescue a princess, and one floor tests whether you can carry a frog past lava without dropping it. The Backrooms floor is a known place to find Floor Tickets.
- Check the lobby
secrets exist before the first ride.
- On the maze floor, note if the layout looks unusual
that's the Mandrill Maze variant.
- On astronaut floors, find and hand over the Jerry Can to complete that side quest.
- Keep the frog away from lava if one appears
it counts as an achievement.
Badges worth chasing as a new player
TableThe game has 25 badges. A few of them are just handed out for joining or riding the elevator, but the rest describe specific actions worth attempting.
| First ride | boards the elevator for the first time. |
| Obby finish | completes a full obby floor from start to end. |
| Button Competition | clicks at least one button on that floor. |
| Astronaut side quest | hands a Jerry Can to the astronauts on the right floor. |
| Princess rescue | completes the save-the-princess objective on its floor. |
| Toolbox Speedway | steps on the badge giver on that specific floor. |

Common questions
FAQWhat happens if I die during a floor?
Dying resets your floor streak entirely. Some floors send you to spectator mode on failure instead, and those do not reset your streak.
Can I choose which floor comes next?
Yes, but only if you have Floor Tickets. Spend them through the Floor Selection menu during the intermission between floors. If you try to pick a floor while one is already running, your selection goes into effect for the floor after that one instead.
When does the coin multiplier run?
The coin multiplier runs every Friday through Sunday, and it applies both to coins you earn on floors and to coins you buy in the shop.
Do my items carry over if I save my streak and leave?
Yes. When you save your streak and rejoin, your items remain with you. The hotbar does get reshuffled when you re-enter the elevator, with floor-specific items moving to the front.
