House Flipper 2 Adds Floor is Lava Mode Update

House Flipper 2 drops a new game mode as an April Fool's Day surprise.

By Ricky Frech

You'd be forgiven if you thought House Flipper 2's latest update was yet another elaborate April Fool's Day prank; however, developer Frozen District has made it clear that the new Floor is Lava mode is very real. The "fiery" new addition gives players a new job to complete, which transports them to a world where the floor is covered in lava. They need to make it through a series of jumping puzzles to complete the challenge, completely flipping the previously chill cleaning game on its head. It's definitely an odd addition to House Flipper 2, but no one can say that Frozen District isn't keeping its fans on their toes.

As mentioned, the new update gives players a brand-new way to play House Flipper 2. However, this extends even further than that. The developers are also hosting a new Community Contest which asks players to build their own lava-filled course. If you're able to build a course the team loves, you can earn real-life rewards, including a House Flipper 2-themed Xbox controller.

While this may seem a bit out of left field, Frozen District has a history of turning April Fool's Day jokes into real content. With the original game, the team dropped in a Dragon Ball Z-themed house, giving players the ability to remodel Kame House. While it wasn't an actual partnership with the anime giant, it was very clearly inspired by Akira Toriyama's fan-favorite series.

It's also worth noting that the team isn't finished revealing House Flipper 2 news. Alongside the joke mode, the team announced that it will give fans new info about the upcoming Reef Cottage update tomorrow. That's likely to feature more substantial content, though it might not be quite as hectic. Either way, it's a great time to be a House Flipper 2 fan.

Below, you'll find the full patch note for the Floor is Lava Update. House Flipper 2 is available now on PC and is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S later this month.
