Elevator go up!
There are seven floors here, and you’re on Floor 1. The central platform is a weight-sensitive elevator. Depending on how much weight you remove, you’ll change the floor it reaches.
Each actual box counts as one unit of weight. Stacked boxes count separately, and touching boxes on the same level may explode together. Every three boxes you remove raises the elevator destination by one floor.
