Need a random trap to throw at your players? Fear no more, we have what you’re looking for. Or at least something like it. Hey, you may have to jury-rig it and fuse a few wire, but it should run. More or less.
The traps suggested are generic; they may need a little adaptation to your game system of choice. Some may seem familiar; they’ve made the rounds on the internet in various forms, and it’s nigh impossible not to be inspired by them in some way or other.
Have an idea of your own? Feel very encouraged to add it in the comments or mail it to us. We’re delighted to give credit and a linkback for usable traps suggestions.

A shelf on one wall contains a number of labelled glass jars. Each label displays the name of a character in elegant cursive. If opened, the jars release the characters’ deepest secrets and desires, which now become known to everyone else in the room.
Not all traps are magical or complex: The characters find themselves in a dead end from which the only way forward is through the sewer pipes.
The gallery walls are dotted with arrow slots. Stepping on the floor in front of them triggers the shot — but fortunately, each slot has only one arrow to fire.To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
