Lava Safari
A realm that never cooled. The rock still runs, the air shimmers, and the floor is hot through your boots. Six stops, six problems to put right, six Digs to recover. Free, no logins, no accounts. Led by Eruptling, the Realm's hero Adventureling.
Assigning one stop
- Every stop has its own address. Stop 4 is
/pages/lava-safari#stop-4— paste it straight into Google Classroom. - Progress is remembered on the device, so a class can do one stop a week and pick up where it left off.
- Each stop runs 10–15 minutes. The finale needs all six done first.
The six stops
1. The Basalt ColumnsThick lava cools slowly. Cooling rock shrinks, and shrinking rock cracks — usually into six-sided columns.2. Eruption RiverMelted rock underground is magma. The moment it reaches the surface it is lava. Same stuff, different name.3. Lava FallsHow fast melted rock cools decides what it becomes. Fast cooling makes glass or crystals too small to see. Slow cooling underground makes big ones.4. The Spark VentsMagma holds gas the way a fizzy drink holds bubbles. As magma rises the pressure drops, the gas comes out of it, and it needs a way to escape.5. Magma MountainRunny lava flows a long way and builds gentle slopes. Sticky lava traps its gas until the pressure blasts it out as ash.6. The Green Fire ChamberLava is not on fire. It shines because it is hot: rock has to reach around 1,000°C to run like that, and anything that hot glows.
What the kit adds
The adventure is free and always will be. The Lava Safari kit adds the part a screen cannot do: six real specimens, six Digs that come sealed with the label scratched off, six Gemlings in a blind bag, and the printed map with Eruptling on it. Finish a stop online and that location's Dig is yours to open for real.
Finished Lava Safari? The online adventure is the half you can do today. The other half is a real specimen in your hand — six of them, one per stop, sealed in a Dig with the label scratched off.
