Birmingham Trapped

If you want to take the tower on you'll have to say his name.

Wiley Sneak, Wiley Sneak.

Off to the tower, you'll be up against each other.

Only one will escape and the rest...

You're trapped!

Ah, it's you lot. I don't suppose this pressie box is from you.

It arrived this morning. You see, it's my birthday!

Do you know how old I am? Do you?

Oh, I wish someone did. I mislost my age on my travellings.

I definitely remember the war. Nastifarious creatures, them Romans.

My last birthday was... Seven plus five take away two add one...

Twelvety-seven year ago and three days to come.

I don't often get giftie things.

I always listen before I opens it.

That way, if you hear meowing, it's one of those...

What do you call them? Ready meals!

Oh, ah! The Unfortunates, coming from Birmingham today.

Aha! So up they comes, up to the tower.

I hope they're scared of heights. I wonder if they'll be sick.

So who's in my fresh batch of cagelings this week?

Jon uses onions to brush his teeth.

Sophie once had a sausage dog, but she ate it.

Saif used to be an old man, but he's now aged 11.

Alice keeps a monkey under her bed.

That's Jack. He wears false teeth made out of ham.

And Lizzie grows mushrooms in between her ears.

This is my Watch Tank.

From here I gets to see everything that goes on in the tower.

Six Unfortunates starts here at the top and works their way down.

If they makes it out the bottom,

they're home for tea and maggoty cake.

It's not easy. To escape each floor, they must complete a challenge...

together. But one of them cannot be trusted.

The Saboteur!

Treachery! The saboteur's job is to make sure all fail the challenge.

The Voice chooses a new Saboteur on each floor.

You are the Saboteur.

She talks to them secretly using the whisper clip -

a cunning little device that goes right inside their noise hole.

She can murmur helpful stinky little tips to them without others hearing.

If the team succeed, the Saboteur will be trapped on that floor.

If the team fail, it could be any one of them.

Only one will escape.

The rest will be...trapped!

Floor Six. Black Widow.

That spider's more scary than my onion breath.

To show you how it's done, here's Wiley Sneak,

who was trapped 100 years ago.

The Unfortunates are surrounded by white spider's eggs.

They must use the vacuum to suck up all the eggs,

but be careful - amongst the eggs are black widow spiders.

If they suck them up, more spider's eggs will be released.

They have 90 seconds to suck up all the eggs.

If there's even one left, the Unfortunates will fail.

Remember, not everyone will be trying to win.

On each floor there's always someone who can't be trusted.

So who is it this time? Don't look at me. It's up to the Voice.

It's time to pick the Saboteur!

Alice, do not react. You are the Saboteur

You're the only person who can hear my voice.

It is your job to ensure your team fail this challenge.

When no one is looking, try to suck up a spider.

Remember, you must be sly. Don't let anyone spot you.

If you start to panic, just listen to my voice.

I will continue to guide you through your whisper clip.

Alice is the first Saboteur.

This is the part I loves best.

I know, you know, but the rest of them haven't got a clue!

Unfortunates, prepare for Black Widow.

To pass, you must suck up all of the white eggs.

You have 90 seconds in which to do it. Watch out for the spiders.

Let the challenge begin...now!

Alice, be very sneaky.

Saif's not looking - see what you can do.

AAAAIIIE!

Well done, Alice. No one saw you.

That will keep them busy!

-'Sixty seconds.'

-Try for another one now.

AAAIIEEE!

Excellent, Alice.

Think about how else you can sabotage the game.

Great - the tubes are tangled. That will make it harder for them.

-Make sure nobody spots you.

-AAAIEEE!

'40 seconds.'

Your team are doing too well. You need to get another spider soon!

Be careful. You don't want to be too obvious.

-'10, 9, 8, 7...'

-You've still got time!

'6, 5, 4, 3...' AAAIIEEE!

'2, 1...'

-GONG

-Your time is up!

You have failed miserably.

The challenge was sabotaged! But has the Saboteur been seen?

You must now vote for who you think the Saboteur is.

-Saif?

-I thought it was Jack. I saw him suck up a spider.

-Alice?

-I think it was Jonathan. I saw him looking for spiders.

-Jack?

-I think it was Sophie. She looked suspicious all the time.

-Lizzie?

-I think it was Jonathan.

I saw him go for a spider egg and pick up a spider.

-Jon?

-I think it was Jack. I saw a spider go up his tube.

-Sophie?

-I think it was Jack. I saw him suck up some spiders.

You have voted for Jack. The Saboteur was, in fact...

Alice. Jack, you will not be leaving this room.

The others are free to pass to the next floor.

Made the team fail AND got away with it! Perfect sabotage!

Jack, how do you feel about being trapped?

Em, I feel really upset because I took my time

and I know I didn't get the spiders. It's just the way it goes.

Poor, unfortunate Jack.

You're trapped!

Every floor we trap one more. Jack is trapped. One down, five left.

How will we trap the next one?

-Floor Five - Feed Me Lies.

-That's my favouritest game.

No, I was lying. No, I wasn't! Lying again! Or was I?

This is all about truths and lies.

On this floor is a magical garden with two plants.

Phyllis loves the truth. Marge loves lies.

Unfortunates must choose a seed and put it under the magnifying glass.

Phyllis will read the statement on it. Is it true or is it a lie?

The Unfortunates must decide which plant to feed.

They must feed three seeds to the correct plant to pass.

Get it wrong three times and fail!

One of them can't be trusted, but who is it?

Sophie, do not react. You are the Saboteur.

It is your job to ensure your team fails this challenge.

Convince them to feed the seeds to the wrong plant head.

I will tell you whether what is written is true or a lie.

You must make the others feed truth to Marge.

And lies to Phyllis.

Sophie is the next Saboteur!

Let the challenge begin...now!

Who's first?

-Jon?

-Sophie, remember, it's you against the team.

Thank you. What a lovely smell? Is it fertiliser?

Now, let's see. "Grasshoppers hear through their knees."

Sophie, this is true! You need to convince them it is a lie!

-Come along.

-It's a bit...weird.

I need a decision. I'm drying out here.

Well done, Sophie! They agreed with you.

Oh, you sillies! It was quite true, you know.

-Excellent, Sophie.

-Now let's see what this says.

"Skunks can shoot their bad-smelling spray only about two metres."

Eeew! "But you can smell it up to two-and-a-half miles away."

True, but convince them it's a lie.

I don't think so.

-What do you think, kiddies?

-Yes...

It could be true, though. It's a long-lasting smell.

-Be convincing, Sophie!

-But... I think it's false.

-They're agreeing with you. Brilliant.

-Come along!

-I'm melting.

-What did you say? False.

Alice is convinced you're right, although you're wrong.

Oh, dear! You've wasted the truth again!

-It was quite true, you see.

-Well done! Last question.

-If you play this right, the game is sabotaged!

-"Slugs have two noses."

Sophie, it's a lie. Convince them that it's true.

I think it's true.

Tell them it's weird, but the other ones were as well.

It's a bit...weird, but... Yeah.

-What do you think?

-True. I think it's true.

You're going to do it, Sophie! This will be three in a row.

Stop feeding me lies!

Your time is up. You have failed miserably!

Looks like the Saboteur's done it, but were they spotted?

You must now vote for who you think the Saboteur is.

-Jon?

-I think it was Lizzie. She was involved in all the wrong ones.

-Sophie?

-Er, I think it was...

Saif. He was looking around everywhere and fidgeting a bit.

-Saif?

-I thought it was Lizzie.

She didn't confirm what was in our discussions.

-Alice?

-I think it was Lizzie.

Whenever me, Jon, Sophie and Saif said something she said the opposite.

-Lizzie?

-I think it was Alice. She said something

straight after someone said something else.

You have voted for Lizzie.

The Saboteur was, in fact...

..Sophie!

Lizzie, you will not be leaving this room.

The others are free to pass to the next floor.

She was lucky this time!

Lizzie, how do you feel about being trapped?

I don't mind because the plants will give me company.

Poor, unfortunate Lizzie. You're trapped!

Jack and Lizzie trapped! Just four more left.

-Floor Four - Snake Attack!

-Right you are, ma'am. Snake Attack!

A strange wall faces the Unfortunates.

One must make it safely from one side to the other,

choosing which holes to put their hands in.

Choose wisely - the wall is home to a hungry, child-eating python!

She'll be waiting in one of the holes for a little snack.

It's simple. If they get bitten three times, they fail.

Can they trust everyone on their team? Not likely! Who will it be?

Saif, do not react. You are the Saboteur.

It is your job to ensure your team fail this challenge.

I will tell you where the snake is.

use your powers of persuasion to fail this task,

but you don't want to be detected!

Oh, what a to-do! Saif is the next Saboteur. He's not to be trusted.

Unfortunates, this challenge is Snake Attack.

You must avoid the child-eating python. Let the challenge begin now!

Saif, the snake is in the middle hole. Be sneaky.

-The top one.

-They're going for the top.

OK, you've gained their trust. It's in the bottom next.

-I reckon the bottom one.

-Lucky! They're choosing them themselves!

Hsss!

Excellent, Saif. It's in the bottom again. You can fool them.

Try the bottom one again? Bottom one again.

This will be 2-1 to you.

Hsss!

You only need one more snake bite. The snake is in the top hole.

No, middle.

Isn't that the top row? Top, middle... Middle.

-No, go top.

-That's it, Saif!

Middle. Yeah, go for the middle.

-Don't be too obvious.

-Do the middle!

Bad luck. It's in the middle next. This is your last chance.

-Try the middle again.

-They're not listening. They might suspect you.

Top. I think the bottom.

-Everything depends on this hole!

-We've already done the middle.

< I think the bottom one. Yeah.

-Do the bottom.

-They don't trust you!

-Bottom.

-You've blown it!

Your time is up! You have passed.

-The Saboteur is locked in the room.

-Ohh!

Before I reveal that Unfortunate,

who do you think the Saboteur is? Jon?

I think it's Saif. When Alice said something, Saif said the other.

-Sophie?

-I think it was Saif.

He'd say something straight away and if we disagreed

he tried to make you think it was the one he said.

-Saif?

-I thought it was Sophie. She was acting suspicious.

-Alice?

-I think it was Saif. He kept trying to change people's opinion.

And he was more confused than normal.

You voted for Saif.

The Saboteur was, in fact...

..Saif!

Saif, you failed miserably to sabotage the challenge

and you were detected. You will not be leaving this room.

The others pass to the next floor.

So close and yet so...trapped!

Saif, why do you think you failed as the Saboteur?

It was difficult to persuade them and I got caught.

Poor, unfortunate Saif.

You're trapped!

Saif made a few errors there.

You've got to be more cunning!

Floor Three - Wicked Wardrobes!

Afraid of the dark? You wouldn't be good at this.

To pass, they must have all eight lights turned on after 90 seconds.

Once the lights are on, they must hide in their wardrobes

and wait. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

But one of them is working against the others.

When a light is turned off, it will trigger the music -

a signal to the others that the Saboteur has struck.

Will they have all the lights on at the end of 90 seconds?

You know the drill. Who will it be? Who will it be?

Don't ask me. It's up to the Voice.

Alice, do not react. You are the Saboteur.

Help your team mates turn on the lights. Get into a wardrobe,

but do not stay there. Use the silence to turn off some lights.

Once you have turned a light off,

you have three seconds until the gramophone starts. Be quick!

So the next Saboteur is Alice!

If she remains undetected, she will be just a floor from freedom.

But can she do it?

Unfortunates, this challenge is Wicked Wardrobes.

To pass, you must have all lights switched on after 90 seconds.

Let the challenge begin...now!

SONG PLAYS

-Great start, Alice.

-MUSIC STOPS

OK, the coast is clear.

You have three seconds to get back!

MUSIC STARTS

-MUSIC STOPS

-Think about which lights you'll put out next.

Alice, you mustn't get caught!

MUSIC STARTS

Excellent! They're really confused.

-MUSIC STOPS

-Try to frame Sophie and Jon.

-MUSIC STARTS

-Brilliant! Well done, Alice.

OK. This time see how many you can turn off in one go!

-'30 seconds.'

-Excellent! That will keep them busy.

You're doing really well.

Quickly, Alice! You'll get caught!

They've seen you! They might just think you were out early.

'10 seconds.'

The game's not over yet!

Just in time!

Your time is up! You have failed miserably!

-Cripes!

-You must now vote for who you think the Saboteur is.

-Alice?

-I think it was Jonathan.

I wanted to turn them on quickly, but he stayed in his wardrobe.

-Jon?

-I think it was Alice.

Every time, she was out before me and Sophie.

-Sophie?

-I thought it was Alice. All the lights by her were on,

-as if to say, "It's not me."

-You voted for Alice.

The Saboteur was, in fact...

-..Alice!

-The Saboteur's been trapped!

Alice, you will not leave this room.

The others are free to pass to the next floor.

Alice, why do you think the others voted for you?

On one of the turns, I didn't actually go back in.

I was already out and they saw me.

Poor, unfortunate Alice. You're trapped!

Alice tried hard there, but not hard enough! She's trapped!

Just two Unfortunates left. I wish I was allowed to trap both of them.

Floor Two - One way out and there can only be one winner.

It's the fight for freedom! Let's hope they paid attention.

Now they have to answer questions about their time in the tower.

They're both after the Key of Freedom.

Win and escape! Lose and be trapped!

Oh, I could kiss a canary!

Unfortunates, this is your Fight for Freedom.

The Unfortunate with the most correct answers is the winner.

You have 60 seconds. Let the challenge begin...now!

Jon, who was the Saboteur on the fifth floor?

-Sophie.

-Correct. Sophie, how many seconds did Wicked Wardrobes last?

-90.

-Correct. Jon, in Feed Me Lies, how many statements were lies?

-All of them.

-Incorrect. The answer was one.

Sophie, how many lights were off at the beginning?

-All of them.

-Correct. Jon, Black Widow trapped which Unfortunate?

-Jack.

-Correct. In Feed me Lies, how many sacks of seed were open?

-Two.

-Correct. Jon, how many lights were on at the end?

-Six.

-Correct. Sophie, who was the Saboteur in Black Widow?

-Alice.

-Correct. Who is trapped on Floor Five?

-Lizzie.

-Correct. Who got the most votes as Saboteur in Snake Attack?

-Saif.

-Correct!

Jon and Sophie, your time is up.

Jon answered four questions correctly. Sophie answered five.

Sophie, you are the winner. Congratulations.

Jon, how do you feel about being trapped?

Er...I'm on my own, but I don't care.

Poor, unfortunate Jon.

You're trapped!

Sophie, you have won your freedom.

Take the key and leave the tower before I change my mind.

Bye!

Aaargh!

Urgh! So...

Sophie escapes, but Jon had better make himself comfy.

He's going to be here for a long time. I hate when one escapes.

But as it's my birthday, I'll try not to look too upset.

So I finally get a bit of peace and quiet to open my pressie box.

I'm most excited. Let's have a ganders.

I love it!

Look - what a marvellous new hat!

Now get out of here! You wouldn't want to be trapped, would you?
