About
The Elevator "Woah" Challenge is a social game in which participants leave their phone on an elevator with a floor set and the phone's camera on. Before the doors on the elevator close, the participant exits and races the elevator via the stairs to the pre-set floor. When the doors of the elevator open, the participant performs the Woah dance.
