Slippery Wall

Slippery Wall is a starting game first played from the original version of Takeshi's Castle.

All the contestants have to try and climb up this steep slippery slope to make it into the castle grounds. There are ropes place at the top of the wall to help, but the contestants have to get most of the way up the slope to reach them.

Once up, they have to slide down the slope on the other side, usually ending up in water traps or pools of mud. Any contestant that hasn't managed to get over the wall before the whistle blows is out of the game.

Variations[]

The final time this game was played, lots of balls were hanging from wires in the air above the slope on the back of the wall.

This time, once the contestants have climbed up, they have to grab a ball on their way down the other side. The contestants need to have a ball of their own to move on, anyone who doesn't get one loses and is out of the game.
