The floor is lava, run by your phone. Prop it up where everyone can see it, tap Start, and let Lava Dash call the rounds. HOW IT WORKS • Green: the floor is safe. Walk around and do the challenge on screen. • Orange: the countdown. 3, 2, 1, get your feet off the floor! • Red: the floor is LAVA. Stay on a cushion, the couch or a chair until it turns green. • Every round is a little faster than the last. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: play for 3, 5 or 10 minutes, or forever, and count how many lava floods you survive together. • Last One Standing: anyone caught on the floor is out. Tap once per player and the last one left wins, with confetti. THREE DIFFICULTIES • Little Kids: long warnings, slow rounds, no tricks. • Family: a fair warning, faster rounds and the odd fake out. • Chaos: short warnings, surprise lava and lots of fake outs. MADE FOR THE ROOM • 40 silly challenges: hop like a bunny, walk like a robot, touch something red. • Countdown beeps, lava music and vibration, so everyone knows the moment the floor turns. • Plays out loud even when your phone is on silent, and the screen stays awake. • Pause any time. Great for birthday parties, rainy days, sleepovers and burning off energy before bed. Lava Dash is free with small banner ads. Remove Ads is a single optional purchase, not a subscription. Play safe: clear a space, keep away from stairs, glass and sharp corners, and grown ups please keep an eye on little ones.
