That is awesome.  What a fun way of getting people to climb stairs!

Awesome! Ideas like that would be frowned upon here, sadly.

Old. Good though. I liked the one they did to encourage people to use trash cans too.

Really? I could totally see that happening in any of the Ruhrgebiet cities.

Let's say that Tyrol isn't really open to stuff like that. Creativity, yes, but it's mostly just for the eyes; this "interactive creativity" is very rare around here.

I like this one better:

Nice. Huge nostalgia potential.

If you guys live near Boston, they have one of these in the science museum there.

I've seen that before. I must say, I disagree with their theory that human behaviour can be changed if we make something else more fun. If all stairs were piano stairs I doubt anyone would still go on them.

Exactly, and just imagine if they made piano escalators...

That is awesome. I saw that a good while ago, only a week before going to Stockholm - I didn't know when they had done it and for how long it would stay, so I went to Odenplan just to check. It was gone, sadly, but I still think it's awesome.

The only way to test this hypothesis is through rigourous testing. Get on it sweden.

Things eventually stop being "fun" anymore if you're constantly exposed to it long enough.
