Problem - Single-Issue Wonk
Trap - In the center of the room is a wooden statue of the subject of their mania. It is too heavy to move, and is weighing down a pressure plate which is causing the steel walls to inch inwards over the course of an hour. If the target is able to destroy the statue, using the various implements scattered about the room, during that period of time, the walls will stop moving.
Problem - Disproportionate Retribution
Trap - Person is knocked out and loosely bound to an altar-like pedestal in the center of a room. A light shines through an open door in one wall. A complicated mechanism in the shadows of the ceiling swings sharp blades through every corner of the room at regular intervals; and, more subtly, every floor tile is a pressure sensor linked to the device as a targeting mechanism. The only safe place in the room is the two feet of space directly above the altar; if the target can lie still for twelve hours, the machine will run out of power and they will be free. (At six hours, the machine will stop its constant motion, but the floor tiles will still be active...)

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableProblem-Racist
Trap-Must paint themselves white with a highly corrosive paint and exit the room through a sensor that will apply a gunshot to any portion of skin that has not been painted with such.

Help?.. please...
Just for fun... create traps that could be used in Saw (or Saw-type torture movies). Not a real writing excercise, just fun.
Person's Problem:They're a teenager who masturbates.
What Person Must Do:All they have to do is provide a sperm sample within a time limit... while their arms are strapped into gloves made of razor wire.
Person's Problem:They're a fashion model who's too prideful.
What Person Must Do:They have to kick a wall down within ten seconds, with nails jabbed into their toes so that kicking it will embed them deeper. If they fail to do so their legs will be rapidly crammed into their torso.
