Hellevator is an American horror game show[1] produced by Jason Blum for his Blumhouse Productions banner and Todd Lubin[2] in which a team of three contestants rides a haunted[3] elevator[4] through an abandoned slaughterhouse.

[5] Each episode centers around a legend whose central figure committed horrific deeds, generally torture and/or murder of multiple victims.

The contestant chosen exits the elevator and makes their way to the challenge area (they are usually told to follow the light that guides them).

There is also a video screen inside the Hellevator to provide visuals as well as for necessity at times for the team to help the contestant doing the challenge.

In Season 1, eliminated contestants were out of the game completely and suggested to have met a horrific death related to the challenge (in reality, they exited the slaughterhouse, and do not participate in the interview at the end of the show).

[9][10][11] Prior to the Labyrinth, the remaining members of the team surrender their walkie-talkie before exiting the Hellevator and are given a bag in which they place any money found.

The Labyrinth consists of three areas designed to relate to the legend and/or the challenges featured in the show, each with a certain amount of cash hidden within.

[12] A team that plays a perfect game by completing all three challenges and finding all of the money and the bonus item in the Labyrinth will win a total of $50,000 to $55,000.

The contestant(s) have a total of seven minutes to complete the remaining challenges (the time runs continuously once the round starts).

If they do find the key they may choose to either attempt additional challenges (if any remain) for extra money, or free their teammates and head back to the Hellevator.
