E1Episode 1Game show where each week three children, trapped in a building, have only an elevator in which to make their escape and the only way out is up. They are helped by "The Lift", a cheery personality in a TV screen who guides them up the floors, where they have to compete in a number of games each level to earn enough points to escape. The first children attempting to escape (and win a prize) are Mason, Katie and Byron and among the games that feature are The Dark Knight, Through the Earhole, Intruder Alert, Glow Worm Marshlands, Big Ray the Giant's guessing game, Planet Susan, plus an encounter with a shark (where they have to answer questions on the subject) before reaching the final level, where they face the Giant's Alphabet Soup. Win and they earn a prize and their freedom - fail and they are trapped. - Episode 2
E2Episode 2Today's team are Jemima, Justin and Robin and in the games they encounter among the many levels of the elevator lift are Planet Susan, Intruder Alert, Through the Earhole, Glow Worm Marshes, The Dark Knight's Lair, before avoiding an encounter with an angry bear. They then face Alphabet Soup in the final game, where they are shrunken by The Lift in order to collect letters that have to spell a number of words to earn enough points to escape the Lift - or remain trapped. - Episode 3
E3Episode 3Another team arrive to take on take on the Elevator's challenges and today's team are Mark, Wesley and Joanne. Helped by The Lift, among the games they face are Glow Worm Marshes, Big Ray the Giant, Through the Earhole, guess the celebrity in Intruder Alert and collecting rubbish in Planet Susan, before facing the deathly threat of The Dark Knight. Awaiting them - should any of them escape his clutches - is the giant's Alphabet Soup that stands between them winning a prize and escaping the elevator - or not. - Episode 4
E4Episode 4Today's team having to navigate through the elevator of Incredible Games are Nick, David and Simone (though The Lift is somewhat confused, wondering if Nick is short for Nicola). And they face some hair raising games, including The Dark Knight, Intruder Alert (who actually tries to break into the lift), Glow Worm Marshes and Through the Earhole, before an encounter with a train nearly derails their challenge. After that it is Planet Susan, where they have to clear up rubbish floating in outer space before facing their final challenge, that of the giant Alphabet Soup. - Episode 5
E5Episode 5Today's team are Jamie, Ellie and Louise, though The Lift gets a bit confused and thinks they are on Top of the Pops. Among the games they have to face to earn enough points to escape the elevator are Planet Susan, Intruder Alert (which could get a bit "interesting"), The Dark Knight, Through the Earhole, Big Ray the Giant and Glow Worm Marshes, before facing the giant Alphabet Soup in the finale. - Episode 6
E6Episode 6Trapped in the tower block today and trying to get out are Michael, Tom and Carrie (though not short for Carrier Bag as The Lift thinks it is). While The Lift may think he's presenting Top Gear, the team certainly have to be as they face both The Dark Knight and then an encounter a rattlesnake in their opening encounters with the lift doors. Other games include Planet Susan, Glow Worm Marshes, Intruder Alert and Through the Earhole before they have to tackle the giant swimming pool that is Alphabet Soup in the hope of earning enough points to escape the elevator - or face being trapped. - Episode 7
E7Episode 7Today's team all seem to be called...Julie. Even The Lift declares that his name is actually Julie, but as it turns out both girls are called Julie and the boy is called Daniel and they were just having a joke on him. However it's no joke when after the first game of Through the Earhole a Dalek decides to try and get into the lift. Other intimidating games include Glow Worm Marshes, The Dark Knight (where history is made), Intruder Alert, Planet Susan (where one contestant has trouble staying upright on her flight controls) and then an encounter with Big Ray the Giant before facing up to the final game, Alphabet Soup. - Episode 8
E8Episode 8Today's keen team attempting to escape the tower block in the elevator are John, Victor and Susie. Helped by the ever enthusiastic "The Lift", he regales the team with stories about his parents as he guides them through such games as Glow Worm Marshes, Big Ray the Giant, Through the Earhole, Planet Susie, Intruder Alert and The Dark Knight before they face the final game Alphabet Soup in a bid to win enough points for freedom and a prize. - Episode 9
E9Episode 9Today's team trying to get out of the tower block in the talking elevator are Harry, John and Kate. They will have to box clever if they are to earn enough points to escape and among the games they face - along with unexpected lift encounters with an aircraft and a heavyweight celebrity - are the Glow Worm Marshes, Through the Earhole and The Dark Knight, where they make history of the wrong sort. Then there is a fishy character in Intruder Alert, they are left flailing about in Planet Susan, before then having to make up points in the giant Alphabet Soup in a bid to earn their freedom. - Episode 10
E10Episode 10Today's team to try to escape the tower block are Richard, Nicky and Joe, though The Lift is a bit perplexed about why they are actually there when they enter his elevator. Among the games they have to face to earn points for their freedom are Planet Susan, The Dark Knight and Through the Earhole before an encounter with a giant octopus at one of the lift stops. Then they tackle the Glow Worm Marshes before they face the final game, the giant Alphabet Soup, hoping they can reach that all important 400 points target in order to win their freedom - or they are trapped. - Episode 11
E11Episode 11Today's team are James, Jemma and Michelle and while they are interested in what games they will be facing on each level, The Lift is more interested in which out of the two girls James fancies. As to the challenges, they face Planet Susan, Intruder Alert, Glow Worm Marshes, Through the Earhole and The Dark Knight, plus an unwelcome appearance by Big Ray the Giant (for The Lift, at any rate) before they tackle the final game in the giant Alphabet Soup. - Episode 12
E12Episode 12Today's team trying to escape the tower block are John, Kelly and Tom, assisted by the ever excitable The Lift. Among the games they have to face are Through the Earhole, Big Ray the Giant, Glow Worm Marshes, Planet Susan and The Dark Knight, before having to assess a Intruder Alert before heading off for their final game, the giant Alphabet Soup. - Episode 13
E13Episode 13The final team to take on the tower in Series 1 are Natalie, Richard and Dani, who The Lift thinks is short for Danni Minogue. Among the games they face are Through the Earhole, Glow Worm Marshes, Intruder Alert and The Dark Knight, before narrowly avoiding a rhino charging them. Then it's off to Planet Susan before facing their final challenge, the giant Alphabet Soup in order to win enough points for a prize and their freedom. - Celebrity Special
E14Celebrity SpecialThe Lift prepares for yet more child contestants to take on the challenge of the tower block, only for Rowland Rivron, Philippa Forester and Keith Chegwin to enter his elevator. They claim to be within the age bracket for the show, but there are suspicions they may of nobbled the real team when a cupboard opens with the young team trussed up in it. Still, The Lift indulges the new contestants in a celebrity special as they navigate such games as Planet Susan, Big Ray the Giant, The Dark Knight, Through the Earhole and Glow Worm Marshes before Rowland and Philippa have to take on the giant Alphabet Soup and hope that Keith can come up with some suitable words for them to win. Fun and frolics ensue.
