How Netflix's Floor is Lava was conceived?

In an interview with a daily portal, the Vice President of Haymaker Media's development, Meg McGrath revealed that she used to play his game with her little brother in their childhood. They would jump from one furniture to another inside their and pretend the floor is lava. She added that she loved the game as a child and had fun playing it. 

McGrath also said in the interview that Floor is Lava is like a "universal childhood game" which almost every kid has played and thought they invented it. She adds that in a way they did because everyone brought their own touch to the game. McGrath knew this would one of the funniest and most entertaining Netflix reality shows if they managed to adapt it on television and created gigantic obstacles for an adult to navigate through. 

The co-owner and show producer of Haymaker, Irad Eyal also said that in the interview that he and his friends had thought they were the inventors of the game and called it 'Hot Lava Monster'. However, Floor is Lava seems to have something "primal" about it. He added that probably the kids from the primaeval times have also played this game jumping from logs to rocks over real lava. Also, this game is such that one can even play in their house during the quarantine.
