Where do people go to Floor is Lava?

The Floor is Lava on Netflix is exactly what it sounds like. It is a televised version of a game many people have played as kids, where one pretends that the floor is lava. Hence, all the participants of the game would begin to hop, skip and jump to furniture or any elevated surface around them.

While neither Netflix nor the makers of the show have revealed where the contestants go when they fall, there have been many speculations among the fans. One theory suggests that there is some “underwater scuba team”, which whisks away the players who have fallen into lava away. However, a well-known media portal claimed that this kind of manoeuvre would be impossible to pull off. If there were holes present on the floor, they would first drain all the red lava water away.

The Floor is Lava Netflix

Each episode of Floor is Lava sees three teams of three to compete. Contestants navigate bars and hop from chair to chair, making sure they don’t fall into the red lava on the floor. The course is designed to make it very easy for the contestants to fall into the lava. 

Unlike in the competitions such as Ultimate Beastmaster, these contestants are far from being parkour professionals. According to some media reports, the lava on the floor is merely water dyed red with food dye. Once the contestants fall into the so-called lava, they disappear while their teammates have to proceed without them.

The teammates now also have the added pressure to avenge their fallen teammate. Each team gets a point for every person who completes the course. The winning team receives a $10,000 and a lava lamp, a fitting prize.
