Okay. I don't know how this will go but it was a random thought that came to mind.

Instructions: Make up a place that people need to figure something out in order to find an exit. They can give you three items that may be useful.

For example: I say that you are in a small room with a wooden door roughly locked on the outsidebut there is a rather large gap between one of the wood pieces. (Be as detailed as you like.) All that's in the room is a crudely-crafted chair, a paperclip, and a metal cup. How could you use these items to escape?

(No, you do not have to use all three items.) The next person will give a possible answer (go as Mission-Impossible as you'd like) and then they will create a dire situation with three different items that could be useful in order to get out.

(Use my earlier example as the first post.) Go!

Hannah Break the chair up and pry a leg into the gap. Once a piece is out, you use your hands to pry the rest of the boards out.


You are in a rather large room, half under ground, with one small window, that is large enough for a body to fit through. This window is locked and has chicken wire on the other side. In the room there are scissors, a bobby pin, and a small animal corpse.

I'd use the corpse to shatter the window, the bobby pin to pick the lock, and the scissors to cut the wire.

You're outside and around you is a metal fence topped off with barbed wire that is electric. Your captors bring you a few ounces of water and bread, but you also find a piece of glass buried under the dirt. How do you get out?

Evie ⌲ Seduce the captor, then stab him with the the piece of glass, eat the bread and water and walk out like nothings wrong ;)

3 wolves are in the woods, they close in on you. All ready to attack you. You have a dagger, meat and the trees. what do you do???

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Climb the tree, throw the meat far away from you in hopes they will run after it. Use the knife if one climbs the tree after you

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Let me think of one to do


message 7: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Okay.. You are in a tower and down below is a river. You have a rope , a pillow and a wooden board

I'd tie off the rope, then tie the end to me, shimmy down the tower, then use the board as a boat and float down the river.

You are trapped in a house witha crazy person. They have locked all the doors and are carrying all the knives. All you have is an umbrella you stole from your sister's room, a match, and hairspray. Whatcha gonna do?


message 9: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Burn the tip of the umbrella, use it as a hot poker. Spray the hairspray in the crazy people's eyes (doesnt matter which one).. Take the advantage to steal the knife from them and while they are flailing, burn them with the hot umbrella poker.. Get the knife and use it to lure the key from them and leave

(Oh good one. I thought someone was going to say spray the hairspray on the ground in front of the crazy person, light the match and throw it on since hairspray is hazardous. Then use the umbrella to break a window and leave. Yours was more creative.)


message 11: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments You are trapped in a garage and there are windows on the top of the garage but they are very small.. All you have is a crowbar, a drill and goggles. How can you get out?

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Lol thanks :)

Hmmm....drill a hole through the garage door until I grab the handle and lift the base of it up.

You are in a very tall tree. The branch is slowly breaking and you are facing a painful death. A bear chased you up there and is still down below you waiting for you to plummit. All you've got is a fishing rod, three trout you managed to catch before your day turned unfortunate, and pliers.


message 14: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Use the fishing rod to hook onto another branch so that if the branch breaks you can hold onto the rod.. Throw the fish down, away from you swing onto another branch and climb down once the bear is gone

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments I didnt know what to do with the pliers

Haha, I just put those in at the last moment.


message 17: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments You are trapped in a submarine at the bottom of the lake, and the oxygen is running out. All you have is a flashlight, a screwdriver, and some binoculars


message 18: by Alexandra (new)

Alexandra (alexstalteri) | 555 comments Haha

I'd think I'd die. If I opened the door, the pressure of the water would kill me before it drowned me, if I used the flashlight and it wasn't waterproof I would be burned, and the binoculars would be my last thing to hug before my impending doom...
