Nine checks before you leave the pad. One abort rule when the smile appears.

Lava Checklist

Print this in your head. Save the Dumpling Squishy punishes players who open Shop while orange is climbing. The tools hub exists so this list stays short.

Before you join

  1. Place ID is 71633357192188 and the creator is L0L GAMES. Clones fake the bun art.
  2. Like is on for the Luck Boost. Favorite if you want the experience easier to rejoin.
  3. 2-step verification is on so a fake script cannot easily walk away with the account.
  4. You know E SAVE from how to save dumplings.

After you spawn

  1. Find your pad. If it is at lava lip, move the plot up or pick a higher brick.
  2. Save whatever bun is already in hand. Empty hands are fine; unsaved Rainbows are not.
  3. Scan for Rainbow shader before you pick a common. Priority is on the dumpling tier list.
  4. Mark a retreat — one path back to height that does not cross the smile.
  5. Do not open codes or Shop until you have a seated dumpling.

During a calm floor

  • One pickup at a time.
  • Carry distance equals next owned pad, not the whole map.
  • If a Rainbow and a common are both visible, Rainbow wins.
  • If a flood starts, commons can be dropped. Rainbows get a desperate E on the nearest legal brick.

When lava appears

Abort rule: stop looting, stop crate, stop chat. Height. Hands on jump and camera. The face is not a photo op. Full movement notes sit in survive lava.

After it recedes:

  • Count parked buns. Reseat anything missing.
  • Only then consider a Lucky Block finish, per the Lucky Blocks guide.
  • Only then glance at codes.

Lucky Block extra checks

  • Start the finish right after a recede, not during a rise.
  • Do not celebrate in the crate room.
  • Escort the pull home before the next smile.
  • If the lobby is 6/6 and shoving, wait one beat.

End of session

  • Leave on a pad, not in lava, so a reconnect is kinder.
  • If you died with a Rainbow, hop servers instead of tilting on the same six people.
  • If a patch popup appeared, read updates before you blame the checklist.

What this checklist will not do

It will not time the flood for you. The official description says random. It will not replace the like button. It will not redeem a code from another dumpling game. It will not bless a script.

Callouts you can actually shout

If you play with two friends from the players hub, use short calls so nobody reads this page during orange:

  • “Smile” — lava is up, abort.
  • “Pad” — someone is carrying, clear the stair.
  • “Shine” — Rainbow or glitter, contest or leave it.
  • “Finish” — calm window, Lucky Blocks now.
  • “Clone” — wrong place ID, everyone leave.

Those five words cover the checklist without a second monitor. Solo players can say them anyway; it is cheaper than dying quietly.

After a failed run

If you died with a Rainbow, do not skip the checklist on the rejoin. Failed runs are when people tilt into Shop, fake codes, and scripts. Rejoin, like still on, pad still high, then loot. The getting started page is for the first night. This checklist is for every night after.

If you can run these nine pre-checks and the abort rule without looking at the wiki, you are ready to ignore this page until the next patch. That is the tool working.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for lava runs, lucky blocks, and dumpling saves.

How often should I run the checklist?

Once per session in the lobby, then only the abort rule during floods.

What is the abort rule?

When lava appears, stop looting and get to height. Save if you can, drop commons if you cannot.

Only after you are safe on a pad. Codes are still unconfirmed on the codes hub.

Can I use this with friends?

Yes. One player can call the abort while another watches Rainbow spawns. See the players hub.
