Sometimes when you try to tap on a location on the map, it seems to know it's being tapped on but it doesn't actually do anything. In the attached video, you can see that I'm trying to start the Tooth Shades battle after visiting the Muncher but it's not registering. This happens multiple times per run, but usually I can just tap on the old location, and then on the new one again, and it'll let me in. This one got stuck and I thought I was trapped but when I started recording it fortunately decided to let me into the battle.
I'm guessing that the bug comes up from tapping on something before the map has fully appeared/is ready to accept input. I tend to try to move through the map quickly and tap on things too early. I'm not 100% sure that's why it's happening, but that's what it seems like. I'm not 100% sure because I don't think that's what triggered the instance of this bug that I recorded in the video. Usually, if I tap too fast, it unsticks by tapping the previous location and then the new one again. This is the first time I've seen it require a lot of tapping between locations to let me through. But it's possible I tapped the screen too early without realizing it. Anyway, that's my best guess on how to replicate it.
In case it matters, I was playing on a second generation 11" iPad Pro running iOS 17.4.1.
