It is not a death trap. I designed it to be more of an exercise in teamwork. They have to work together to escape their current predicament. However, there is a time element to it. Whomever is holding them will eventually be coming back. There is also a risk vs. reward element. Do they stay and fight or sneak away and escape? That is up to them.
