Can we get more people to take the stairs over the escalator by making it fun to do? It's an ad series from Volkswagen, but visually fun and thought-provoking. Why can't the world be more delightful and useful at the same time?

Well, we don't all agree on what's "delightful" (or "useful"), first off. Second, a lot of these seem like novelty effects --- I don't think these would actually be fun after the first couple times (if at all), so would it have any real effect on behavior (long-term)?

What's delightful about listening to every key on a piano being hit at once? No, thanks. I pity anyone who has to walk past that every day.
