Walkthrough[]
On Shaky Ground[]
The island starts out in on a state park (Caldera State Park). Talk to the park ranger and she will give you the button of the park. You can walk into a museum where you will see Ranger Rick. He will state that the antlers on his elk statue have gone missing, and he asks you to find them. Further reading through the museum, it will tell you facts about certain North American animals, and tell you about a supervolcano that erupts every 300,000 years, and a geyser called Ol' Reliable that erupts every 90 minutes. However, when you see the geyser, even when the timer until the next eruption goes off, the geyser will not erupt, stating the supervolcano will be erupting soon. Find a tour guide for a cave, and he will allow you in, telling you that two people are trapped behind a metal block. Go on top of The Ye Old Cabin and Mine and there you will find the elk antlers. Go back in the museum. Return the elk antlers to the ranger Rick at the Ask Me About Elk station, and you will be given a junior ranger badge. Now head over to the right, where there are a guy with a hat and woman with glasses. Talk to them first. It will reveal that they're scientists trying to figure out why the geyser stop erupting. They need a ranger to get inside and turn on the laser interferometer. After that show the badge, and they will give you a magnetic belt. The magnetic belt can pull or push magnetic square block (click and drag the block) and get dragged on magnetic rocks (click on them). Go to the cave (far left). Talk the guy in the cave mouth. The guy will say that two elderly ladies were trapped behind a rock and he will guide you inside. Get in the cave, drop down, and use the belt to pull the rock into a small hole next to it. Then, the elderly ladies will go out. Go pass Ranger Rick, then go up (don't go out yet). Go up once more, and click the rocks above you. It will attract you to a more upper place. Go right.
In this part, you just need to pull the square rocks stacks inside to the pit. Just click and drag them inside. Don't get inside the pit before you put in the rocks, or you'll get squished! After you put in the rocks, stand on the just one level higher from the water then click on the rocks hanging on the ceiling. After you got hung up to the rock, go left and drop down. You'll found a geyser. Drag a rock above you and drag it to the geyser with it. Go far right, then go up by clicking the rocks above you. Go right, until there is rocks above and below you. Click on the above one, then jump to the next platform (don't be worry if you hit the wall, it's untouchable). Jump again, and then drag the rock down the platform. After that, drop down to the rock you just drop. If you fell, just drop down and do a little parkour to the rock. Go up to the platform with the drill on it. Then click on the laser inferometer (inter-7000). The drill will start, and makes you fall to the ground below.
Drill, Baby, Drill![]
The drill will stop, as it's missing three components, a battery, a drill bit, and an engine. Jump to the right, then jump on the mushrooms. Jump to the tallest mushroom in the middle, then get the battery. Go right, click on the rocks above, then go right. Stand on the rocks, then jump to the left of you. Go right. Then stand on the rocks, and jump to the higher platform to get the engine. Get out from there, and you'll meet a mud spraying out of the ground similar to the geyser before. Use the rock above you to block it. Drop down then go right. Jump on top of the mushroom and quickly click on the rocks in the ceiling to get across the wall. Do the same thing again on the rightest mushroom, then get the drill bit. Get out from there, and you'll find some mushrooms. Jump on the leftmost mushroom and jump up until you manage to get to the next ground with mushrooms. Jump on the mushrooms, and at the end you'll manage to get to the drill again. Click the drill again. Yay! The drill works!
Trap Ease[]
You'll find yourself on a place with a lot of traps. Now you need to find the laser interferometer. Drop down, and drag the rock on the left with you. Don't take the totem, or you'll get squished! Drag the rock to the rightest you can go. Jump on the rock, then jump to the hammer-looking contraption. Click on it, and quickly drop down to the right. Drag the rock (while pushing yourself with the rock) to the right. After the trap fell, just go right. Go far left until you found a lava pit. Drag the giant rock in front of you to the pit so you can get across. The rock's bump makes the boulder trap got activated! Quickly, jump on the rock and jump again to the ground. Go right until you find two stone slabs covering a pit. Jump on them, then jump up to the top. Push the rock to the bottom and push it again to the different looking ground. it will activate a contraption to open the door. Resume your walking.
Now you'll find yourself in a bit of a puzzle. A 3 x 3 puzzle. Solve the sun puzzle, and it will open the gate. Hey, the laser interferometer is there! Click on it. Wait, who's there? It's the Mole People! Two mole people guards will come to you, saying you're an intruder, and drag you to King Mondo and Queen Bondo.
Hail to the King[]
The queen will say that you need to prove yourself not an enemy. Give the button earlier. And then, the king and the queen will recognize you as a friendly topsider. The king will explain that the Chthonians is attacking the mole people for centuries for unknown reason. Their ongoing war makes a giant tremor, that might cause the supervolcano to erupt! Later, a giant tremor once again has been felt. The guards are scared, as the king motivates the mole people and the declare their indepen- oh. A chthonian just take him away! The queen will shout run and you, the queen and the guards will run to the right. Presumably being separated by them, quickly run to the right. Watch out with the yellow looking thing on the ground, it's the Cththonians hiding! Jump on them. Continue by quickly jumping to the next platforms until you're in the last platform. You'll be back with Queen Bondo and the guards. Later, Queen Bondo will ask you to save the king by going to a secret passage way behind her throne. It's rescue mission!
Will resume later
Glitch[]
There is currently an unresolved glitch that make the scene restarted. This will make it impossible to continue after being chased by the Chthonians as the mole people scene will loop back to when you're still indicated as intruder, and the button will get back to your inventory. This will create a loop and can't continue much more further.

Trivia[]
- It is the first Poptropica Worlds island to be released.
- Crisis Caverns Island is the first island to be released on Poptropica Worlds, but the 47th overall (if counting islands from original Poptropica). It was released to the public with the debut of Poptropica Worlds on May 23, 2017. However, the island was playable in open beta on Android a few days prior, and was also available for beta testing to a select handful of VIP Poptropicans.
- Crisis Caverns had been in the works for many years according to many Daily Pop sneak peeks, and was even cancelled at one point due to a storyline that didn’t quite work out. However, due to high demand from players, it eventually became a reality.
- Caldera State Park is named for the caldera, a large volcanic crater formed by a major volcano eruption and leading to the collapse of the mouth of a volcano. The “State” in the name suggests that Poptropica contains states.
- The geyser Old Reliable is a reference to Old Faithful, a well-known geyser located in Yellowstone National Park.
- King Mondo’s line, “Today we celebrate our indepen—” is a reference to the 1996 movie Independence Day.
- The premise of the island may be loosely based off of the plot of Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne.
- The stash in the mole king and queen’s throne room contains numerous references to other islands: drone ears from 24 Carrot, a colorful clown hat from Counterfeit, a toy of the Balloon Boy character who first appeared in Counterfeit but has re-appeared several times.
- The Elk Antlers used to be inside Crispin Cave. In October 2017, they were moved to be on top of Ye Old Cabin and Mine.
- Before Poptropica Worlds, it was going to be made for Poptropica. But was cancelled in 2016.
- In the old xml files for the original concept, you can see that the congratulations tab said you've finished part 1.
