About Trapped!

Trapped! is a children's adventure game show. Six children journey through a fairy-tale tower guided by the sinister Voice (Faith Brown) They complete challenges on each floor, one cannot be trusted. To escape, they must uncover the saboteur among them.

The Caretaker (Simon Greenall) acts as the guide to the audience, commenting as the game goes on.

Wiley Sneak (Olly Pike) shows how the Challenges work and how to play.

Each episode culminates in a face off between the last two contestants answering questions to reach the key, and be the one to escape.

Story Plot
Six "Unfortunates" begin at the top of "the tower" to complete one challenge per floor. They each wear a listening device known as a "Whisper Clip", and prior to every challenge, one Unfortunate is chosen through their Whisper Clip as the Saboteur. It is then that unfortunate's job to sabotage the challenge without being detected by the other contestants, while being guided along by The Voice. Wiley Sneak demonstrates how each challenge is done while The Caretaker provides instructions with voice-over, in stock segments before each saboteur is selected.

After every challenge, if the team passes the challenge, the rest of the team minus the Saboteur move down one floor inside the tower, with that child being eliminated and "Trapped" on that floor in the tower for the remainder of the programme. If the team fails the challenge, however, every child votes for whoever they think was the Saboteur, and the one with the most votes is "trapped" on that floor of the tower instead. "Draw Straws" are used in the event of a tie, with whoever draws the shortest straw being the one trapped.

This repeats on a floor-by-floor basis until there are only two Unfortunates remaining. The final round is a timed, alternating memory-based quiz, (known as "The Fight For Freedom",) consisting of a series of questions based on the events of the Unfortunates' time in the tower throughout the course of the episode. Whoever has the higher score wins the game, and leaves the tower, along with the Key Of Freedom.
