This one's an old idea but it's still pretty popular, particularly at the Burning Man Festival. Here's what Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Dance_Immolation) has to say...
Dance Dance Immolation (DDI) is an interactive fire art game based on the music video game Dance Dance Revolution (DDR).
The gameplay of DDI is much like the original DDR with two participants trying to follow the music-synchronized arrows on the screen with the arrow pads beneath their feet. The "Immolation" signifies the fire element of the game: when players do well they are rewarded by huge jets of fire that blast up into the air, and when they do poorly propane flamethrowers fire directly at their faces.
Participants are not harmed since they wear a full aluminized fire proximity suit with forced-air respirators. Numerous other safeguards are built into the system to ensure the players are not subject to direct flame exposure or inhalation of superheated air.
Here's a Youtube clip of the game!

To Harvest or not to Harvest, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The pipes and bullets of outrageous Splicers,
Or to take arms against a horde of Big Daddies,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep...
