Turning a Staircase into a Piano - Neatorama

(YouTube Link)

This Volkswagen commercial is about one effort to get people to take the stairs instead of the escalator (presumably for the exercise). The company turned a staircase at a Stockholm subway station into a piano and videotaped how travelers responded.

I work in an Australian stair company, and we're all about making them beautiful to try and attract people too them. Perhaps we should focus on making them wacky instead!

Thing is, Bob, some people can't make it up the stairs, particularly if they have a shopping cart in tow.

Absolutely brilliant.

Interesting idea.

This would likely create more loitering. And then more people being annoyed by the noise, because I bet it doesn't sound as nice as the fancy music they played throughout most of that video, especially with a crowd on it.

So, on the level pictured above, I ate all but 2 pieces pictures. it would have been an amazing score... if I hadn't been too fat to get passed the obstacles to the finishing point.

The game is amazing, I have been playing it non stop for the past 2 weeks. There are a few flaws (places you get stuck, getting to fat to pass) but overall it is insanely addicting and I cannot stop playing it.
