"Follow the white rabbit." Now where have I heard that one before? Sorry, but it's not The Matrix this time. It's better! It's Trapped Part 1: The White Rabbit — the first installment of a trilogy of point-and-click adventure games from Rodrigo Roesler.
The game is an interesting twist on your standard point-and-click. While you still use found items to solve puzzles and escape the house in which you are trapped, Trapped trades in the standard first person view for a pseudo-3D isometric third person perspective. The story is nothing new: you wake up in a room next to a dead guy and you have to escape the house. Use your clicking finger and your puzzling skills to collect items and combine items, and to get out.
Analysis: As with many Flash escape games, the story is certainly not the high point of the game. However, the game does have some great features. The puzzles are quite odd while still maintaining some sense of logic. Thankfully, all of the objects are findable and have a purpose, and none have to be combined randomly. The puzzles are very difficult, but all have solid logic behind a solution. The interface is a bit annoying at first, since you have to click twice to get an object and then click another button to drop it, but can be streamlined through keyboard shortcuts. The only real problem I had with the game was the size, as it is a bit small. This size is probably necessary to fit the isometric view, but causes a little bit of squinting after a while. On the other hand, there is no pixel-hunting required, since the cursor indicates when you hover over a clickable object.
My favorite part of the game is the extensive behind-the-scenes look Rodrigo provides in the "About" section. Can you guess how long he has been working on it? If you knew, you would understand how he has managed to make it run so smoothly. Rodrigo has been working on this first game for a long time, and I can't wait to play parts 2 and 3. Until then, will you take the red pill, or the blue pill? Or you can just Play Trapped Part 1: The White Rabbit.
Cheers to Hana, Dg, Cris, and John for sending this one in! =)
Trapped Part 1: The White Rabbit walkthrough now available!

Sethum:

You use the lamp on the stove, soaking the wood in oil.
You then use the lighter.
You then steam apart the glued peices of paper.
The new peice of paper tells you both what to do with the clock, and what to do with the queen coin (you'll see what I mean)
Sethum,

Congratulations! Part One is finished!
I'd need a magnifying glass to play this game, the game itself is so darn small.
Creepy story, but GREAT GAME!
THIS GAME WAS AWESOME!!!!!
I needed the walkthrough otherwise I couldn't have beaten the game.
How you figure out how to place the coins:


Sorry if somebody else posted this.
Why is there a refrigerator in the bathroom?

I don't know if anyone else is having this problems but...

It is very annoying...
Nevermind...

Great game, only need help where to find the knife and then I was good on the rest. 3 walkthroughs within an hour? Haha, at least some people are on top of things!
Wow, that was a great game! I like the new perspective on the escape the room game, with a little bit of Gateway thrown in. A few red herrings thrown in there for fun.I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next one!
Did the clock do anything?
I really enjoyed this; the interface was refreshing for a point and click game, and the puzzles were at a good level of challenging without being too abstract in their solutions. I would have liked more sound, though, and also for it to have been slightly larger.
Can't wait for "The Dark"!
If it's too small then lower your screen resolution while you play. It helps!
Cool game. Some of the puzzles, like the


The only thing that bugged me, and it bugged me a lot, was the spelling. How hard is it to look up words like "glutton" and "buffoon" before using them, instead of making wild guesses?
I always loved escape-the-room games, though usually they got creepy aura all over T_T
Can't wait for the sequels!
Jay: you have a great site, thanks for the updates, and keep it going :)
I personally thought this game was great. There should be more room escape games with this same third-person concept like this. The one thing I found annoying was the time it took the character to walk around. For example, walking from one end of the yard to the other takes far longer than it should. But besides that, I found the game very enjoyable. Good choice.
If you haven't finished the puzzle, then this won't really make sense.

The game keeps getting stuck, not me, just the game itself...
Hi all,
Jay wrote me an e-mail about this review, and I found it great.
Kostia, thanks for the tip. I uploaded a correction just now. Sorry about that, neither me nor Bruno have english as our first language. I'm sure there's more errors like these in the website.
Cheers,
Rodrigo
for fullscreen, you can change the url from .php to .swf
This game isn't great. It looks pretty but makes too many bad adventure game mistakes.
By offering multiple items that could reasonably be used to complete a task but only permitting one answer you get into the situation where you know exactly what you have to do but can't do it outside of the order the designer intended.
Despite the review claiming a "solid logic" lies behind the puzzles, this logic is entirely internal to the game. The real world setting is betrayed by electing to stick items in random locations, having puzzles for their own sake, and having some puzzles (and one in particular) that require truly insane leaps of reckoning that the mundane setting wouldn't suggest.
Doesn't seem to work properly with Firefox, either.
Great game, Rodrigo. Incredibly smooth and well designed. The isometric design works particularly well. I'm really looking forward to the other two parts.
And "Farewell, mutant tree"...What a line!
Nice game Rodrigo I found it challenging and enjoyable and that doesn't happen that often. I've entered my details so I get a message when the next levels are ready :D
This is probably the best escape game I've played. Every puzzle was intuitive. It made complete sense where to use each object and the subtle hints/ riddles were written perfectly. It made me think, but I didn't have to use the walk through at all. I hope Rodrigo continues on designing games as high quality as this one! Good Job!
I really enjoyed this one, and like someone said, probably one of the best ETR games I've played. I'm looking forward to parts two and three.
Fantastic game! I can't wait to play the other levels!
i finished the game and everything, but i dont understand what your supposed to click on to end the game after you place all the coins in the wall :(
Am I the only one who found the rabbit coin? I don't know what it's good for, though.

Sorry but this game just does not cut it. Yah it looks nice, but navigation is slow and boring, the graphics are decent but leave everything looking very bland. I don't know if there's supposed to be sound or if I messed with my options, but the lack of it makes this game really annoying. The absolutely WORST part of this game, without a doubt, is how incredibly random all the puzzles are. For instance

Games that refuse to let you use logic are lame and this game gets two thumbs way way down.
Greg... it wasn't *so* illogical; using steroids made some sense. Also, it's routine to routinely try objects in your arsenal here and there.
In the walkthrough, the time should have been fixed after the paper was unglued, but I guess we know why he saved us that extra trip.
I really enjoyed this game, definitely one of the better ones! Though, why is it that every game that has writing/notes/conversation involved, there are spelling/grammar mistakes aplenty? Lolz.
A nicely designed game, but I agree that some of the puzzles could have been designed a little better. For example

I did end up resorting to walkthroughs at a couple of points but I 'd appreciate someone explaining to me

Personally I found the game frustrating: I agree that several puzzles were logical (at least if one has played games of this sort many times before--can't eat steroids, must have to plant them), but others for which I relied on walkthroughs still made little sense to me after the fact. I also found the interface boring after a time: waiting to move from one side of the room to another again and again didn't keep me invested. All that said, it's a polished, complex game and definitely in the top quartile of point-and-click titles.
But really I just wanted to post a grumpy old scholar's note regarding the review: The Matrix if not the source of following white rabbits (or of pills of different colors, for that matter) any more than Shakespeare needs to be read in the original Klingon. Charles Dodgson/Lewis Carroll may well have been amused that a multicultural, multi-genre pastiche like The Matrix receives for all sorts of credit for originality from people who aren't aware of the literary, graphic (Manga), or cinematic sources of its ideas and visuals, but I hope we can at least hang onto the timeline that places Alice in Wonderland prior to Keanu Reeves. Grumpy rant over.
I'm having problems placing the coins. Whenever I try to use one, it says that I can't use it. What am I doing wrong?
The size of the screen was small but if you zoom your screen to 150% it works quite well.
i cant find it out i did coin in the wall KING QUEEN ASSASIN GLUTTON PEASANT SICK MAN MAID BUFFON DOG SERVANT what am i doing wrong (you can send me a pic of you can!)can someone tell me
did everything the way it should, but the stupid rabit statue won't go away....
what now?
Jordan Kelly,
It worked fine for me in firefox, what version were you using?
Great game, real challenging. Only got stuck on one part, turning the apple red. But the great walk though helped a bunch. Looking forward to part II and III.
yess!!! i did it!!!
it's too dificult! but i did it
sigh...............what a tough games im expecting for much difficult games..... thank you for FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^_^
My god, I would have been so mad if I hadn't read The_Corruptor ('s) spoiler..... I beat the game, but it won't finish. Which hole do I click to finish it off?
Great job, Rodrigo! One more detail, though, along the lines of spelling: the correct roman numeral for 4 is "IV", not "IIII". (I feel like such a nerd for pointing that out :)
loved the game no idea what the clocks for but cant wait for the next chapter bring it on!!!
Thank you all. Tolkar, thanks for the tip, but I can be more nerd (nerdier?) - Traditionally, in clocks, the roman 4 is written IIII. There's a legend that a clockmaker commited that mistake when building aclock for a king, and had his head cut by it. Since then, and for a long time, every clock was built with the same mistake, in his honor.
But yes, you're right, other than old clocks (I'm not sure the tradition is still alive), the roman 4 is IV. :)
Cheers,
Rodrigo
I still don't get what


Everyone keeps talking about this lighter. I don't have it...or I don't know where to click to find it. Also, it is making me craaaaazy.
e: the lighter is already in your inventory, ne? At least, I didn't pick it up but there it was...
what do you mean with

where is the hole to end the game?? i put all the coins in the slots and someone told me theres a hole to end the game. where is it?
I have put them all in order King,Queen on top
Assian, Glutton on left and Peasant , Sick man on Righ
Maid, Buffon, Dog, Servant but that darn rabbit is still there and it says Still Stupid. What am I doing wrong?
Yea, I have the same problem- I did it all, I put the coins in the right places and now what? I can't do anything :( And why I need to set the clock on 2:15- I can't see if something is different. Help- I just need one more click and I don't nkow where!
i did the coins and the stupid rabbit wont go away should i take it and throw it?
so far all ive found is the coins called king coin maid coin dead coin dog coin and the queen coin shhhhh dont tell any one!!!!1
Finaly! It tok me a little while to do it.. But i did it..! Without walktrough.. AlmostXP... When i had to to that thing with the coins in the end.. I was stuck..
BTW!
If u have got the coins right, but the rabbit it still there? Go and check the clock again, and switch the hands of the clock.. I did it wrong too.. (The wrong hands) So just try that, and then i think you'll se the hole:)
I cant find the patch, where is it.
thanks
I've put in the correct order of coins according to a couple walkthroughs, but I can't seem to finish.
Jelleh set the clock to 2:15
Order of coins:king,queen,assasin,glutton,peasant,sickman,maid,buffoon,dog,servant
I can't figure out where the dark patch on the outside wall is. I've tried using the can of cola all over and it's not doing anything. Can anyone help me find the right spot!? PLEASE!! Thanks!!
there are 3 rooms locked now the 2 big doors and the one small door in the same room how do i open them??
hey when you said to leave and come back for the pears (seed) what do i have to do?
How do I use the corkscrew to open the bottle with the key? i'm just going from one to the other.
Nevermind didn't see the wall bottle opener.
i'm stucked with the piano. i have the code from the music box, and a tip to use only first five notes, and have the glass on the piano tips, but, after i play the sound, nothing happens.
Alright Im at the end of the whole game with only a few problems but I have the coins in the right order according to the picture and ive tried double clicking the coins but the rabit hole still wont appear what am I doing wrong?
Any news/info about the sequel?
the clock is on 2:15, I have all of the coins. Why is the rabbit still out there and why do I see no hole?
HELP!!! My Small Key Is Gone!! WHY CANT I BEAT PUZZLE (Or However You Spell That) GAME?!?
This game reminds me a lot of "Silent Hill 2".
HELP, you have all the pieces you need except for

This is a GREAT game. I can't wait for the next one.
part two is available!
OK, All the people are there in the right order... and i switched the king and queen, and the clock is at 2:15, and yet there is no rabbit hole.... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?
i re-played part one and found rabbit coin as zamphir said. i didn't use it, but when re-played again part two i found it in my inventory,


Interesting game. My question is: How were we supposed to know

Ah. Well, never mind about the clock; I see that the walkthrough just skipped some walking around there. But the first bit of my question still perplexes me. Where was the relevant clue? If it was the

is it just me, or does this game absolutely AGES to load.
No, Sloth, it's not just you, and it's apparently not just me either, thank god.. I hjaven't actually managed to load it yet, despite trying for two days.. It just freezes at different places no matter for how long I wait...
could never even get the game to load :(
the links dont seem to work... :(
the rabbit coin, along with 2 other unnecicary coins, will be used in the last part to unlock a bonus
i can not find the Bafoon coin!!! can someone pls help me??? cause my english is not so good and don't understand that word: "westmost barstool "
pls ...thx!!!!!!!!!
There is now a Trapped: Part 2. Iv'e Played it, and its a worthwhile sequel. I love this game! XDD
I know how to find the rabbit coin!!! it's not as easy as hit the wall in the hall.. You have to click like craqzy between the kitchen door and the dining room door. It's in the higher piece of wall you can see. I'm explaining it because it wasn't very clear in previous posts.
GOOD LUCK!!!
What do you do with the rabbit coin
Awesome game ever, now I am playing part two.
Wish me luck!
Oh My Gosh. I can't get onto the game because it takes me to this stupid Brazilian site advertising this plug-in that costs $15. Please please help! I've already played this game once but I haven't played the third one and I would be SO sad if I couldn't ever get on this dude's site again.
[Edit: Please be patient. We are working with Rodrigo to bring the game to you as quickly as we can. His site has been down and he is in the process of changing servers right now. We'll have the game up for you shortly, so please check back later. Thanks for your patience! -Jay]
es bueno, quiero que salga 'the laberint' o como sea en espaƱol, pero en ingles igual me sirve, estoy emocionada por el final!!!!
(It's good, I want to know how to leave "the labyrinth" (or however it is in Spanish), but I don't care that it's in English, I'm looking forward to the final episode.)
hey i'm trying to get my friend to play this game but all i get is the 404 error does anyone know where the game was moved to?
Thanks for posting regarding Rodrigo's site, Jay. I have played Trapped-Part 2 and had a blast, but now I want to play Part 1. After receiving the 404 error I had a feeling the site was experiencing problems but was glad to see you confirm it! I'll be patiently waiting...in the meantime, I'm downloading 3 games...Madame Fate, Dream Chronicles (the review said it was a Myst-like game and that did it for me!) and Forgotten Riddles-The Mayan Princess. Oh the lengths one goes to when satisfying gamer fever!!!!! LOL
Other mirror for the Trapped Part 1:
I was playing trapped the white rabbit ,
for a while .But not when i try to connect i get an error message.
any ideas?
I think the link is broken or something.
Ok, after an awful lot of server troubles, here comes the new address:
http://trapped.rabbittell.com/whiterabbit.php
I'm still working to get the old one back.
Cheers,
Rodrigo
