I imagined the movement of a character in a video game who runs up elevators.
The trick is based on my past work, "Bean Bag Drawer" (RF-36), designed over 10 years ago.
It was my favorite work however I gave no hint to solving it. This time, the hint is in the patterns on its surface.
The drawer is partitioned and it's easy to open halfway. Please open the rest with the hint.
I made this work bigger than Bean bag Drawer so I could express the movement of the elevator well.

The photos will show everything included in the sale.
The puzzle is located in the United States, but I will ship worldwide.

I've solved it, and it's wonderful, like you'd expect from an Iwahara puzzle. But it also seems like maybe there's something more. I couldn't find any information within the puzzle or on the internet, but if you buy this, and you find something beyond the initial solve, please let me know!Per the Karakuri we...
