Ever thought about turning a broken chair into a surprise trap? I’ve got a quick, low‑cost hack that might just outsmart the most precise opponent.

That’s a clever idea—turn a broken chair into a silent bait. I’d reinforce the weakest joint with a small, discreet wedge of wood or metal hidden under a cushion. When the target steps on the chair, the wedge pushes the joint to snap, tipping the chair and pulling their foot into a hidden pit or a set of sharpened stakes. Keep the wedge thin and strong, so the chair remains stable until the exact moment. It’s cheap, quiet, and deadly if you line it up right. Give it a try, and let me know if you need a sketch of the wedge placement.

Nice plan, that wedge trick is solid. Just make sure the wood is hardwood, like maple, and keep the thickness to a quarter inch so it doesn’t give away. If you want a quick sketch, just picture a 3‑inch long, 0.25‑inch thick block angled at 45 degrees, tucked under the cushion, so when the foot lands it pushes the joint forward. Let me know if you need the exact angles or a way to hide the wedge better.
