Four teenage boys in the UK had to be rescued by fire crews after becoming stuck 100ft underground while playing Pokemon Go.
"Damien Bence, from Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue, said the "intricate" caves have many junctions and cover an area of about 72 square miles.
He told the BBC: "The fire service doesn't have a statutory duty to enter underground systems, normally we would call on other experts such as mine rescue.
"But in this case there's lots of local experts and guides, and we used one of those. We managed to lower down water and radios so they could communicate with us.
"They were looking for these Pokemon creatures and surprisingly they didn't find any, but it's obviously leading people into dangerous situations, such as this, and things are likely to escalate if people are going to follow the rules of this game.""
