We are officially obsessed.
Slippery Stairs is a gameshow televised in Japan and we seriously want someone to commission it here in Ireland.
Basically the aim of the game is to be the first contestant to reach the top of the stairs and grab the prestigious ribboned envelope from the treasure trunk. The contestant that succeeds to do so, wins. It is just that simple.
Emotions run high on the slippery slopes with some contestants getting SO close, yet falling upon almost reaching the finish line (skip forward to 7:24 to induce tears).
We have to admit though, we would love to give the stairs a whack and get the chance to wear one of those “power ranger” style morphsuits.
Equally, people on Twitter are also loving the game and sharing their wishes to take part.

I don’t get into social issues here on Twitter, but today that changes. I am going to make it my life’s work to bring this television show to America. And maybe even the Olympics. Winter and Summer. #SlipperyStairs pic.twitter.com/kf0NPWFs99

Hmmmm, maybe this could be a project idea for Her in the summer. Who would be up for the challenge?
