trap room
Locked mystery space
A trap room is a room in a building designed with hidden dangers or mechanisms, especially in video games where players must navigate spaces rigged with hazards like spikes, falling ceilings, or poison darts: We lost three party members in that trap room.
The term comes from tabletop and video game culture, where dungeon designers create such spaces as challenges.
In escape rooms, a trap room may contain puzzles that "trap" participants until solved.
