The moment the buzzer goes off and the lights flicker red, it’s game on. In INMERS’s interactive gaming spaces, the ground isn’t just lava—it’s pure chaos. Screams echo. Teammates freeze. Someone yells “GO!” while someone else is still tying their shoes.
But here’s the funny part: no matter how different your team is, certain personalities always emerge. Especially in the Floor is Lava game, which Singapore thrill-seekers can’t stop talking about.
Let’s break down the six classic Singapore Floor is Lava personalities you’re guaranteed to spot. Who knows—you might see yourself in more than one.
1. The Strategist
There’s always one. The person who treats the Floor is Lava like a military operation. They’re not jumping yet—they’re mapping out moves.
They’ll point to individual spots like chess pieces, muttering about angles, balance, and “optimal routes”. This player doesn’t just play—they plan three steps ahead.
They might not be the fastest, but they usually survive the longest. Until, of course, they try to balance on one foot while shouting orders.
Spot them by:
- Holding up the group for “just one more check”
- Making a diagram in the air
- Saying, “Wait, that corner is definitely a trap”
And yes, they love that immersive escape rooms allow them to play mind games in a physical world.
2. The Wildcard
No plan. No fear. Just vibes.
They leap before looking, dive for unstable props, and somehow make it halfway across the room with zero balance and sheer chaotic energy. They thrive in immersive experiences, laughing through sound effects and jumping into zones like it’s a party.
Sure, they might trigger a few traps (and heart attacks), but they’re the reason your group chat is full of blurry action shots.
Spot them by:
- Ignoring all the rules
- High-fiving everyone
- Shouting “YOOO!” mid-jump
They don’t just survive. They thrive chaotically.
3. The Over-Thinker
Their feet haven’t even left the starting point, but mentally? They’ve already fallen.
These players freeze. Overanalyse. Ask if a platform will hold their weight. Second guess if the lava is “actually safe”. Ask if you’re sure this is fun.
Every decision takes forever, but when they finally move, it’s with the most intense concentration you’ve ever seen.
Ironically, they’re often better at puzzles. In a horror-themed team activity, they might overthink the storylines, too.
Spot them by:
- Asking too many “what if” questions
- Taking five minutes to take one step
- Screaming louder at their own teammates than the soundtrack
They’ll survive—if they move before the timer runs out.
4. The Silent Hero
This one surprises everyone.
They don’t talk much. They hang back during the pre-game banter. But the second the game begins, it’s like they’ve trained for this their whole life.
They leap gracefully. Move quickly. Solve puzzles mid-air. No drama, no panic—just cool-headed problem-solving. In an escape room, they even stay calm when an NPC jumps out of a wall.
You’ll wonder if they secretly work at INMERS’s game rooms.
Spot them by:
- Their cat-like reflexes
- Helping others up while balancing on one foot
- Giving short, clear instructions that actually help
They won’t take credit. But they probably saved your entire team.
5. The Cameraman
They’re not here to play—they’re here to document.
Even when the floor “turns into lava”, they’re still holding their phone, capturing everyone’s screams. They’ll get the angles, the panic, the slow-mo jump fails. And afterwards, they’ll upload it all with music and captions.
Surprisingly, they still manage to stay alive, usually by clinging to props or riding someone else’s momentum.
They turn escape room chaos into content gold.
Spot them by:
- Filming you when you’re mid-fall
- Pausing to take a group selfie during a scare
- Shouting, “Hold on—do that again but slower!”
Thanks to them, your humiliation is now a TikTok trend.
6. The Talker
This player never stops narrating.
They’re explaining everything out loud—from which platform to jump on, to what the lava “looks like”, to how they almost died just now. It’s half play-by-play, half podcast.
They also scream the loudest. Especially when a fresh stream of lava starts to flow. But oddly enough, they’re the glue that keeps the team moving. They shout encouragement, crack jokes, and somehow make panic feel less… horrifying.
In any escape scenario, their voice is the loudest.
Spot them by:
- Narrating like a YouTube let’s-play
- Talking through every thought, jump, and scare
- Giving nicknames to everyone
They’ll survive through sheer noise.
Why It Matters
These personalities aren’t just funny—they shape the way your team moves, solves puzzles, and faces fear. A good mix makes for a better game. And honestly, that’s what makes the Floor is Lava game experiences so addictive. Everyone brings something different to the mat.
Whether you’re leading, leaping, filming, or freezing, the nostalgic but heart-racing team activity setup at INMERS means no two rounds feel the same.
Think You Know Your Type?
Now that you’ve met the six personalities, which one are you?
Or maybe you’re a mix of two. The Strategist by day, the Wildcard by night. Either way, the only real way to find out is to step onto the mat—and off the floor.
At INMERS, the lava may be fake, but the adrenaline is very, very real. From dynamic sound effects to touch-sensitive tiles, every second is designed to mess with your head and body (in the best way possible).
