Game Show “The Floor is Lava” Erupts Onto Netflix

Netflix game show updates an age-old game.

The brand-new Netflix show “The Floor is Lava” ups the stakes of the universal game where you pretend the floor is lava and avoid touching it at all costs, usually involving jumping between furniture. Imagine hanging with your friends after elementary school but on a higher budget!

In each episode of the show, different teams tackle various courses to win the grand prize of $10,000.

The official Netflix description reads: “Teams compete to navigate rooms flooded with lava by leaping from chairs, hanging from curtains and swinging from chandeliers. Yes, really.”

Auto racing analyst Rutledge Wood, who also appeared on the US version of Top Gear, hosts the show. He says that the rules are as follows:

  1. Anything and everything in the room is in play;
  2. For every player that gets across, the team receives a point;
  3. The team who gets the most points at the end of their run, or the fastest time if there’s a tie, wins $10,000 (£8,000); and, of course,
  4. Don’t fall in, because guess what? The floor is LAAAVAAAA!

It’s not as easy as it sounds. Additional challenges include puzzles and mind games, as well as inventive hurdles that increase in difficulty as you go. The surfaces are slippery with ‘volcanic eruptions,’ so even sturdy surfaces are dangerous.

It doesn’t stop there! The steps to get out slowly fall away as the lava rises, meaning the longer you take, the harder the course gets.

Want to see a volcano in action? Get your fix here.

Currently, ten episodes of “The Floor is Lava” are available on streaming.
