Traps/Puzzels - I need help.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Traps/Puzzels - I need help.

Post by Obfleur » Tue Oct 11, 2005 1:54 pm

I want to make a bunch of traps/puzzels in my home (using stuff I can find in my home, or buy really, really cheap).

For example; There's a cookie under a box. If you take the cookie, the box will fall down (there's a string between the cookie, and the stick that's holding the box up).
So; you'll have to remove the string, to not get caught in the trap.
It always works in the cartoons ;)

Another example; You can make small holes in a piece of cardboard - and then you attach a bunch of partypoppers on the cardboard, and pull the strings through the holes.
So when the string gets pulled, there's a loud pop (however, one string isnt a partypopper, it's some sort of reward).

Okey, those examples arent really puzzles... so here's where you guys come in.
Does anyone have any sort of idea?
Oh, I'm looking for easy puzzles, like "Put the circular thingy in the circular hole - the traingle-thingy in the triangular hole, and POW, something happens".
Can't believe I'm still here.
