Inspired by the classic kid's game, The Floor is Lava, Frank's RedHot is introducing a flavor-packed version of the game to Fortnite called "The Floor is Flava." The reinvented version of the familiar game is set on a chicken wing-shaped island and a volcano that releases Frank's RedHot sauce, or "flava."

The game challenges players to navigate tough terrains like beaches, forests and a ruined city and players will need to avoid stepping on the flava by climbing on statues of game day foods or using chickens as jetpacks. The imaginative game highlights other brand-inspired game elements, such as the Tender Defender skin, Chili Chugs for speed boosts, and even a hidden temple at the heart of the volcano.
