Going left for the first time in a while...

[Prefix] <--

Add a one! Perhaps not the best time to find this, but oh well.

--> [Floor Closure]

That's probably a good thing to lose, all things considered. We'll be playing the full twenty-one!

[JDGA]

No, 11 left.

[14]

[13]

[12]

Going left here...

[Suffix] <--

That'll tack another digit onto our score!

--> [$250]

And at the cost of some petty cash.

Ten floors left means the end of round 2, so let's see how well we do with the rest of this board! (Unless you decide you don't want to win more money for some reason...)

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Let's press onward. 5 Left

[JDGA]

On to Round 3! Four more floors before the next milestone...

[11]

[10]

[8]

[6]

[5]

Going left here, we find...

[E] <--

Another letter. That makes two out of two so far, but at what cost...?

--> [+50%]

Hmm. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not that was worth it.

Taking a right turn this time...

--> [R]

That's a third letter! Still no payoff yet, but if you can pick up any more, we're in good shape...

[Random 4] <--

That would have been $9,295 added to your score.

This board is getting stranger with every floor we visit. Lots of big cash, three out of three letters collected, a couple of good multipliers still up there... where next?

10 Left please

What might we find here...?

[Random 5] <--

Aha, the final random space! Which resolves to...

[$82,451]

A nice boost to your score at this stage, putting you just under $100k.

--> [$500,000]

But an unambiguous loss when compared to the right path...

Going left, looking for a letter or that million...

[$125,000] <--

It's a major boost to your score, but it's not quite the million.

--> [$8,000]

Thankfully, the other space wasn't either.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Venturing into Round 4, is this the floor we win big?

--> [Peephole]

No it isn't, but that

certainly

won't go amiss!

[$16,000] <--

And the cost to claim it wasn't particularly great, thankfully.

You've got two peeks in hand now. To clarify, once you peek at a space on a given floor, you're committed to choosing from that floor. You have to travel there to use the peek, and once you do that elevator isn't budging until you go left or right.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'd like to go to floor 20 and peek Left, please.

We're not picking quite yet, but using our first peek reveals that going left will get you the [O].

What next? Use the other peek on the right, choose left, or choose right?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'll open left, please

[JDGA]

Unsurprisingly...

[O] <--

That's now your FOURTH letter picked up, which means...

[$1,000,000]

Big bucks! And the alternative...

--> [$64,000]

No big loss either! Now this is looking interesting... the last letter's still in play, so the billion-dollar bonus is very much an option. Can you cash in on it?

Four floors left, and one peek still in hand. What's the plan...?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'd like to go to 11 and Peek left, please

[JDGA]

Table column spacing gets

weird

. What in the world is our tower doing?? Anyways...

Peeking at the left... it's the +25%.
That's your last peek now, so which way are we going?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

sacrificing 300,000 is a large gamble, but it's just chump change compared to the W the 100% or the million.

I'll open right, please.

[JDGA]

[+25%] <--

Sacrificing the +25%... but what do we find?

...

--> [$1,000,000]

It's another million dollars! A brave gamble that absolutely paid off!

Going left here... can we find something good?

[$2] <--

Not quite. Let's just hope we didn't lose any of the big two...

--> [$32,000]

Thankfully not, though we still lost out overall on that floor.
