IKEA Wars
It's time to enter the Flatpack Thunderdome! IKEA Wars is a high-octane comedy game show pitting two comedians against each other in the ultimate home improvement indignity – building IKEA furniture on stage in front of a live audience.
The challenge is simple: rip open the flatpack and build the piece of furniture before your opponent does. Is it a race? Yes. Is it a game show? Also yes! A plethora of chaotic sabotages are on hand to ensure that the road to glory is paved with pitfalls!
Build the furniture.
Survive the sabotages.
*Be crowned the Champion of Sweden!
*title not officially recognised by the Swedish government.
Let's build!
