Mouse Trap and Torture Trap: A Mouse Trap Alternative

myminifactory

I wanted to create a medieval torture twist on MouseTrap to give it a more mature spin. To achieve this, I designed all of the normal pieces from scratch, ensuring precise hole and peg locations for seamless integration. This approach allowed me to include every standard piece in my design, so users can easily swap them out for a family-friendly version if desired. Next, I selected the key components that would be most entertaining as medieval torture devices. The cage falling mechanism was an obvious choice, but with a twist: instead of capturing mice, they're already trapped and facing a gruesome fate. The Iron Maiden made its way onto the list, too - no baths or cleaning are allowed in my dungeon, so I replaced the tub with a more sinister contraption. The light post and boot combo screamed gallows to me, making them an obvious inclusion. To kick things off in style, I paired a spiked shield with a giant axe, which decapitates the marble bucket in a dramatic flourish. Finally, I transformed the mice into crude rats, making it easier for players to justify their torture - after all, who wouldn't want to torment nasty creatures like these?
