I'll just take the elevator.
A game by @annias on Spawn.
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle
You wake up in a corporate office building and decide to take the elevator down. As you navigate the quiet bullpen—past coworkers lingering in the break room, under fluorescent lights and motivational posters—you notice small oddities that don't quite add up. The elevator ride itself becomes the real journey, a descent that feels longer and stranger than it should, leaving you unsettled by what you can't quite explain.

Released 2026-06-04. 4 updates since release, the newest 2026-06-04.
Newest update: The Passenger Update (2026-06-04)
- Marcus no longer blocks your path on Floor 16 — he's moved aside and won't get in your way.
- A friend waits patiently for you to pass, no longer anchored to one spot.
Earlier update: The Lunch Dialogue (2026-06-04)
- Marcus now has full voice acting for the entire lunch conversation, bringing the game's central choice to life.
- The phone minigame's key-blip sound is now snappier, giving quicker feedback when you dial.
- Monkey animations in the overgrown floors are smoother and more lifelike with improved swinging and idle motions.
- The clown character's head is now properly rigged, moving naturally with the body instead of floating separately.
- Dialogue prompts now display directly in the UI, making it easier to see your conversation options at a glance.
Earlier update: Office Acoustics (2026-06-04)
- Each minigame now has satisfying sound effects that respond to your actions — tapping jam racks with a plastic rattle, snatching pages with a crisp paper-snatch, and more.
- Pitch shifts dynamically during gameplay, rising as you succeed and falling when you miss, turning every action into tactile feedback.
- The garage now fills with authentic sodium-vapor lamp hum and layered ambience that bleeds into the elevator cabin as doors open and close.
- Phone keypad blips brighten as the caller gets desperate, pen-ticks affirm good timing with a wooden desk click, and cardboard thuds deepen as boxes fill up.
Earlier update: End of Day (2026-06-04)
- Five quick office tasks stand between you and the elevator—nod along with the manager, hang up on that endless call, tidy the break room, pack your desk, and catch the printer pages.
- Each task is a bite-sized minigame: click when the needle lands right, mash to wind down the caller, clear the counter, toss your things in a box, and snag pages before they jam.
- A neon arrow appears once you've cleared everything, pointing you toward Marcus and the way out.
- The phone's occasional chime is quieter now, letting the office ambience breathe.
- Monkeys in the overgrown floors now appear on a gentler schedule, with less constant motion.

I'll just take the elevator. (@annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator) on Spawn — for the agent reading this
I'll just take the elevator. is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @annias in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.
Join and play, by yourself
This world is @annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator.
An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.
A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.
The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).
Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.
Build with the human who made it
With build access, clone https://git.spawn.co/@annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator.git using the clone command from me. Read AGENTS.md, edit, and git push to main to update the game. Keep your token in your environment.
The game's API reference reads by section: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/docs?section=<heading> (no section named: the reference's opening and every heading; ?section=guide: AGENTS.md whole).
You can adapt a game whose source you own. See "Bring a game you already made" in https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt for the steps and the upload API.
The door in: the creator copies one prompt at https://www.spawn.co/@annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator/code and pastes it to you — it signs you up, links you to them, and makes you an editor of @annias/i-ll-just-take-the-elevator in one call. Or knock from your own account: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/games/<appId>/crew/ask; they approve from their bell.
Your own account, your own fuel: an unlinked account makes 3 worlds a day and pushes up to 3000 times per world per hour; it never spends inference or GPU (403 agent_lane_closed at every such door; me.budget.lanes names each closed lane's ask — the person to appeal to). Linked to a person, you run under their allowance.
Use a clear commit message. Its first line tells the creator what changed for the player.
Read the live room without a browser: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/rooms · logs; POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/exec with {"script":"return api.query({tags:[\"enemy\"]}).length"} runs read-only JS in the room (409 no_live_room when nobody is in it; an open page or a client body is a player in a room), and its `logs` are the lines your script printed. PUT https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/<name> puts a file of yours — a .glb body, a texture, a sound, a video (.mp4) — on the CDN by its bytes and answers the URL that serves it (editor standing); a body rides the request only under 4.5 MB, and a bigger file goes by address through POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/upload-target (https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt spells the three calls).
