The characters are in a cave, or occasionally a building, and after a cataclysmic event, the falling pieces of the structure separate them into smaller groups. They must either find their way out alone, or if some of them have no way to escape, they must be rescued, often with a race against time.
Very common in video games, as a plot device for separating the player character from its party, because in single-player games, too much help from friendly NPCs would take away the meat of the game. Briefer examples are simply an Inescapable Ambush. More extreme examples fall under Party Scattering.
Contrast with Let's Split Up, Gang!, where they do it voluntarily, and Never Split the Party, where they're at least trying to avoid it. Compare Locked Out of the Fight. See Split and Reunion.

Divinity: Original Sin II: At one point in the Driftwood Caverns, a scripted event causes giant Voidwoken to grab the Player Party and deposit them in different regions of the caves, forcing them to find their way back to each other through a dangerous enemy lair. Of course, by then they've had a chance to find teleportation devices that can trivialize the task.

Digimon:
Repeatedly used in Digimon Adventure. First Devimon splits File Island, then everyone has drifted apart by the time Taichi finds his way back to the Digital World after Etemon, then they choose to separate during the Dark Masters arc (during which one of the split groups was briefly split even further when Mugendramon blew up a skyscraper on them, casting them into different parts of the city's sewers) and don't completely regroup until the absolute last minute.
The Digital World arc of Digimon Tamers had this as something of an environmental mechanic: the data streams of the lowest plane of the Digital World would drag those caught to a completely different plane of the World; on the other hand, they eventually used a data stream to regroup.
Digimon Frontier literally has the party split because rocks fell. When part of the mountain they're on is eaten by Gigasmon to increase his power, the team falls...and winds up in different parts of the digital world instead of splattered.

In Ib, Garry gets separated from the girls by large vines suddenly springing up from the ground. Ib and Mary press forward to try to find something to take care of the vines...only for a statue to block their way back to Garry. Garry finds another way out after he realizes they aren't coming back, and you spend the next section of the game switching back and forth between playing as Ib and playing as Garry.

Mario & Luigi:
In Superstar Saga, Mario gets sick with Bean Fever, and Luigi ventures alone to find the cure. Once cured, Mario rejoins the party.
A few sections of Partners in Time, such as the beginning of the Vim Factory, separate the baby Bros. and their adult versions.
In Bowser's Inside Story, Dimble Woods has a section where Luigi is stuck alone inside a Sockhop enemy. Once he finds Mario, he rejoins the party.
In Paper Jam, Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario are split up in Gloomy Woods. Starlow has to encourage Luigi to get him to progress.

A variant in With Strings Attached. When the four are in New Zork, they walk along unconcerned that they might be recognized, since it's 1954 and in Real Life they didn't show up in America until 1964. Unfortunately, this Earth is hardly an exact parallel with theirs. They round a corner and come upon a line of kids waiting to enter a contest to win "Beagles" tickets. "The mob broke the sound barrier as they thundered into the road, and the four said 'Christ!' and fled in four different directions." The remainder of the chapter consists of their attempts to get back together.

Fallout: New Vegas:
At the end of the Honest Hearts DLC, if you side with Joshua Graham to crush the White Legs, the immediate path through the canyon will be blocked by a rockslide halfway, separating you from Joshua and forcing you to detour through the caves.
A subversion occurs in Lonesome Road when a cave-in blocks your path through the Divide, but ED-E doesn't get taken from you until after circumventing the impasse.

Happens in Eternal Sonata when a boss villain destroys the bridge on which you're standing. Half of the party is rescued by a passing ship and the other half washes ashore in a swamp. Conveniently, the villain doesn't end up with either group and is never heard from again.

This happens at the end of Chapter 5 of Mother 3, where Lucas and company are split up after falling from the Mother Porkship, because the Rope Snake proved to not be as useful as Duster thought for holding on. However, instead of having to play as all the different characters in their separate groups afterward, all the gameplay just focuses on Lucas trying to find the other party members.

The Heroes of Olympus: At the end of The Mark of Athena, as the floor of the cavern where the Athena Parthenos was hidden falls away as the statue is safely tethered to the Argo II, Annabeth is discovered to be caught in a loop of Arachne's loose thread, which is pulling her down into Tartarus, and they can't cut her loose. Percy chooses to let himself fall alongside her, leaving the other heroes in a state of shock. The House of Hades thus involves the other heroes travelling to the titular location on Earth, while Percy and Annabeth journey through Tartarus to the location of the Doors of Death, their only way back home.

Happens to an extreme in season 1 of Stargate Universe. A small group are split off from the main cast and stranded on an alien planet when a cave-in traps them in an underground complex. Then, next episode, another cave-in splits them up, leaving one stranded unconscious whilst the others try to use the stargate network to make their way back to the Destiny. Possibly the first time a cave-in has left the party split up across the breadth of a galaxy.

Subverted in Final Fantasy V. The party falls down a hole, with three of them waking up in a large room and the fourth in a small closed-off chamber nearby. After some brief discussion the majority decide to carry on by themselves and assume their missing party member will catch up with them later on. Cue the man himself popping out of an underground passage to berate the party for planning to leave without him.

The frequency with which this happens in The Last Story is laughable; generally at least once per major dungeon. Bonus points for the rubble often being barely above waist height or easily traversable.

In Medal of Honor: Airborne', a German ambush forces Travers to split off from his squadmates Setzer and Wirth during the final part of the assault on Der Flakturm. This turns out to be a Lifesaving Misfortune, as the other two men are mortally wounded and killed by another German ambush just outside the tower.

It happens in Pokémon: The Series every once in a while. Though it's more of a party mismatch, since generally, Rockets, trainers, and even their individual Pokémon can form their own groups depending on how they're split.

Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger (RWBY/Star Wars): At the end of chapter 18, the heroes are separated after an airship crashes into Beacon Academy. Ruby and Pyrrha are knocked unconscious and wake up in the ruins of the fairgrounds, Nora and Ren are sent flying into the Great War Memorial, Qrow is Buried Alive beneath the remains of the airship, and Blake and Weiss go MIA.

The Digital World arc of Digimon Tamers had this as something of an environmental mechanic: the data streams of the lowest plane of the Digital World would drag those caught to a completely different plane of the World; on the other hand, they eventually used a data stream to regroup.

Digimon Frontier literally has the party split because rocks fell. When part of the mountain they're on is eaten by Gigasmon to increase his power, the team falls...and winds up in different parts of the digital world instead of splattered.

Miitopia does this several times, courtesy of falling boulders. The party is split in half and both groups have to explore the dungeon separately until they are reunited.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
The Big Bad used a falling stone spell to smash a teleporter, the chaotic magic from this scattering them all across the magical world.
This also happens later on during the attack by Cosmo Entelecheia during a formal party held by Godel, as a collapsing structure causes Nodoka and Asakura to be separated from Negi, Chisame, and Ku Fei just as Nodoka is about to tell Negi the final secret to the Magic World.

Happens all the time in the Kingdom Hearts games, usually to force you to fight bosses alone. (Usually without explanation too - a forcefield just zips up when the boss appears. Though sometimes there are better reasons.)
In at least one instance, Donald and Goofy run right into a barrier as it activates and separates them from Sora.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Disaster", a Negative Space Wedgie traps the members of Enterprise crew within different parts of the ship. Most of them find themselves way out of their comfort zone: Troi is the highest ranking officer on the bridge, Picard has to babysit a bunch of children, and Worf has to serve as midwife.
