The 63rd Floor is one big puzzle. You can obtain three interesting prizes here, but getting all three is tricky. You can reset the puzzle as many times as it takes until you choose to cash in your coupons. Remember to take advantage of the Ducts!

Note that, even though the Monsters encountered here are on par with those fought during your first trip to the Shinra Building, they are only present when you return here too late in the game for them to pose any threat.
