From rewatching the series? Almost undoubtedly the block and Tackle.

and catacombite lair

I don't recall further encounters offhand, but this is from S2 Team 5, where they had to get to the exit avoiding the bishop, making only the moves of a knight.

Good stuff!

It has to be the causeway. When I was young I used to feel so nervous for the team that had to guide the dungeoneer over it - especially in level 3!

Rewatching the series as an adult I find the S5 causeways exruciatingly boring.

However the S6 ones are great as they have the intense music which sometimes does and sometimes doesn't mean impending death. They also have the fright knight timer which stops the team from dragging their heals.

I thought the Trial by Spikes was an excellent additon in S7. It was nice and deadly, especially for a level 2 challenge! Felt like Knightmare of yore.

For some reason, when I think of Knightmare, I always think of that series 4-6(?) ruined castle courtyard with the wooden stairs ("Don't look, Pickle"). It always stuck in my mind because of the brilliant "I.. am.. HORD...Harris" scene

Block and Tackle.

But to be fair, you only know that because you've watched it. If you were the first team to encounter it, how would you know that the blocks fall from left to right? It's not like the causeways of later series that have a specific code on them. There's no way for the team to know that you just have to walk in a straight line. They don't know which blocks are safe.

The Block And Tackle should've been retained for later seasons. It was actually a far more effective quest-killer than the CoB, and at least as terrifying. They also could've made it even more difficult; say, make the left exit the only one that is accessible after a while! Imagine the panic that could ensue as the team weighs up whether to chase for the right-hand door and a safer long-term path, or plump for the easier left option, and deal with the greater danger beyond it when they come to it! Evil grin

Geeze! That scared the heck outta me the first time!

Block and Tackle.

It was very simple - just walk in a straight line to the right-hand door.

Play Your Cards Right was quite fun, too.

would be intresing for people too see and who visit this thread

My favourite room ever.

Really - it was very simple - just walk in a straight line to the right-hand door.

But with so much going on, it's easy to scare the pants off anybody

I really liked the cvernwights rooms in level 3 or maybe even medusa stare lol
