# Human Tetris Game Shows Squeezing Through Shapes in Moving Walls By Pearl | Published 2008-11-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-tetris-game-shows-japanese-contestants-squeeze-through-shapes-in-movi References: [humantetris](http://www.humantetris.tv/) The Japanese have a wildly popular and hilarious [game show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-1) where contestants try and squeeze through really [strange shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-in-the-room1) as a moving pink wall comes at them. If they are unsuccessful, they are swept into a pool of water. Watch too for the [team events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bull-2) when all three contestants have to quickly align themselves and get through the gaps as a group! In some crazy runs, the match-up is totally wrong as a big man tries to fit through a very small shape. One of the videos shown here is the sexy girls in bikinis version on Italian TV which lacks the humor of the Japanese version - six episodes so far.
