Teams compete to navigate rooms flooded with lava by leaping from chairs, hanging from curtains and swinging from chandeliers.
Yes, really. And no, not real lava. That would be silly.
The series is based on The Floor is Lava, a game in which players pretend that the floor or ground is made of lava (or any other lethal substance, such as acid or quicksand).
They must therefore avoid touching the ground, as touching the ground would "kill" the player who did so.
Fifteen daring new teams fight to race to the top of a towering volcano to win $10,000.
Who's going to triumph and who's going to be toast?
