* LoopholeAbuse: Kids are only considered to be "on" the lava when touching it with their body or an article of clothing they're wearing. Kelsey and JP exploit this by taking their shoes off to use as movable stepping stones, but this backfire when JP accidentally steps ''into'' his shoe instead of on it.

* TheGroundIsLava: Toman calls the eponymous game out of boredom, leaving almost all of the unprepared kids to the lava. On their quest to find Jessica, the Stump Trio walks on rocks and logs and at one point use their own shoes as stepping stones, while most of the other survivors use Tony Mozafari's treehouse as a safe space--before its floor breaks from overcapacity. Jessica can walk anywhere, though, as [[LoopholeAbuse she's not playing]].

* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: [[ZigZaggingTrope The lava's viscosity is completely inconsistent]] because the whole thing is completely imaginary. Usually, kids sink in it, but all the objects they throw on it stay up and support their weight.

* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Falling into the "lava" doesn't hurt the kids in reality, even when it's from a height where the actual ground should. Toman in particular jumps off a jungle gym and lands on his back, but shows no sign of injury.
