I guess he has double switch installed, some houses have multiple switches for the same set of lights especially along stairs or long corridors.

Ah. So he could just have the light on until he got to the top, then turn it off.

He's just playing a game, where if he makes a mistake - slips down the stairs, trips on something - he loses.

Even then, the deal was for 10 seconds after switching the light off, there is no mention of any grace period to switch it back on. As soon as he opens the door and reaches for the switch in the dark, he’s done for.

I understand that light from behind the door spills into the room enough for it not to be darkness, so for as long as the door is open he's safe
