''Deathtrap Dungeon'' is the sixth entry in the ''Literature/FightingFantasy'' line of ChooseYourOwnAdventure Gamebooks, written by Ian Livingstone.
The devilish baron Sukumvit revived the city of Fang by building the deadly dungeon maze known as Deathtrap Dungeon, a place filled with terrible monsters and fiendish traps, both physical and magical in nature. However, it is said that a huge reward is waiting for the adventurer who will face the perils of the "Walk" and leave the labyrinth victorius. Armed with courage, wits and a sharp sword, you'll face the perils of this diabolical maze.
The gameplay follows the basic rule of many others in the series, and features a single possible path to victory, as expected. In 1998 it received a video game adaptation. For that, see ''VideoGame/DeathtrapDungeon''.

!!''Deathtrap Dungeon'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AchillesHeel: The Bloodbeast seemingly has a large amount of eyes, but only two of them are real. If you fight it and know of this weakness, you can Test your Luck every time you land a hit to see if you manage to strike the real eyes.
* AnnoyingArrows: Averted, from crossbow traps to amazingly accurate Troglodytes, arrows are a threat in this dungeon.
* BigBad: Technically speaking, Baron Sukumvit is the one behind Deathtrap Dungeon, though he doesn't directly oppose the protagonist in any way and, as mentioned in the description, the Dungeon's presence did wonders to Fang.
* BreadAndCircuses: The whole reason why Deathtrap Dungeon was built by Sukumvit.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: What's that? A Tyrannosaurus Rex? Oh, wait, it's just a "Pit Fiend". Allright. Also, Troglodytes in Titan are not primitive hominids but rather cave-dwelling, big nosed goblins.
* EpicFlail: One of the early threats is a couple of Orcs wielding big spiked balls on long chains. You fight them with a malus because they use their weapons to whip your sword from your grasp.
* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: Oh boy, monsters and traps at every step and in every room. [[spoiler: Except for the ghost girl who gives you a precious advice and the mysterious cone of light.]] Justified, because it was specifically designed to be nearly unwinnable by Sukumvit.
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Mirror Demon will grab you and drag you across the mirror in another dimension.
* FightingYourFriend: The Trialmaster will force you to duel Throm, the barbarian you befriended, in a DuelToTheDeath in order to proceed. It's rather cruel, though in hindsight it would have happened sooner or later.
* FinalBoss: The last mandatory boss you can fight fair and square is a massive Manticore found at the very end of the Dungeon, before the last door.
* GorgeousGorgon: Averted, the Gorgon you can encouter [[spoiler: In the cage covered with drapes]] looks like an old, snake-haired crone.
* GottaCatchThemAll: The three gemstones that open the final door. [[spoiler: Also, you pretty much need to encounter all the other heroes, alive or not, in order to reach the right path to the ending.]]
* GratuitousNinja: One of the contestants, which later ambushes you in the Dungeon. While Titan has a fantasy counterpart to Japan, it's in a whole other continent entirely.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The other barbarian hero met such an end, pinned like a butterfly to a massive wooden board.
* IndyEscape: Do you think that Sukumvit could have neglected the chance of installing a giant rolling boulder trap?
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Upon completing the trials of the Trialmaster, you're free to turn around and kill the bastard who put you through hell and forced you to kill Throm.
* KnightInShiningArmor: One of the contestants. [[spoiler: He dies deep inside the Dungeon while trying to recover the last gem, the diamond.]]
* MeaningfulName: Let's just say that ''Deathtrap'' Dungeon's name is, well, well-earned and self-explanatory in nature.
* MirrorMonster: The hideous Mirror Demon is a four-faced demoness encountered in a mirror-plated room, and is a rather worrysome enemy.
* OurManticoresAreSpinier: The last portion of the Dungeon includes a Manticore that you must kill. It opens the combat by shooting a mass of spikes at you, forcing you to rely on a shield to avoid being pin-cushioned.
* PlotCoupon: The three precious gemstones you need to unlock the gate to the exit. [[spoiler: To make things harder, while the emerald and the diamond are in a guarded room, the second gem, the sapphire, is hidden in a random hole in the wall halfway through, with no hint at all that it's there.]]
* SignificantAnagram: During the Trialmaster's test, you have to choose between two sentences which are anagrams of the creatures you'll have to face. [[spoiler: One is a Minotaur, the other a Giant Scorpion. The former is far easier to fight.]]
* SchmuckBait: Pretty much every single room or encounter you make has one. Sometimes there are wild subversions, like [[spoiler: the dagger embedded in the worm-filled hole, which is safe to recover, and the chance to insult Sukumvit, which actually helps you.]]
* SkippableBoss: The Pit Fiend is huge and fearsome, with Skill on par with the Blood Beast and no weakspot... but since it's, you know, confined to a pit, if you have the right items you can make your way across the pit with a rope and avoid the beast entirely (which is for the best).
* SoleSurvivor: Five adventurers brave the Dungeon, but only one of them will make out of it on his legs. Or not even that, if you mess up.
* TakenForGranite: One room hosts a crazy sorcerer who likes to turn people to stone. However, if you answer correctly to his riddle he'll be happy and bless you with a bonus to ''all'' your stats before letting you go.
* WackyWaysideTribe: The Troglodytes, busy dancing around a massive golden rock and ready to make you do the "Run of the Arrow" if you run afoul of them.
The devilish baron Sukumvit revived the city of Fang by building the deadly dungeon maze known as Deathtrap Dungeon, a place filled with terrible monsters and fiendish traps, both physical and magical in nature. However, it is said that a huge reward is waiting for the adventurer who will face the perils of the "Walk" and leave the labyrinth victorius. Armed with courage, wits and a sharp sword, you'll face the perils of this diabolical maze.
The gameplay follows the basic rule of many others in the series, and features a single possible path to victory, as expected. In 1998 it received a video game adaptation. For that, see ''VideoGame/DeathtrapDungeon''.
----
!!''Deathtrap Dungeon'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AchillesHeel: The Bloodbeast seemingly has a large amount of eyes, but only two of them are real. If you fight it and know of this weakness, you can Test your Luck every time you land a hit to see if you manage to strike the real eyes.
* AnnoyingArrows: Averted, from crossbow traps to amazingly accurate Troglodytes, arrows are a threat in this dungeon.
* BigBad: Technically speaking, Baron Sukumvit is the one behind Deathtrap Dungeon, though he doesn't directly oppose the protagonist in any way and, as mentioned in the description, the Dungeon's presence did wonders to Fang.
* BreadAndCircuses: The whole reason why Deathtrap Dungeon was built by Sukumvit.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: What's that? A Tyrannosaurus Rex? Oh, wait, it's just a "Pit Fiend". Allright. Also, Troglodytes in Titan are not primitive hominids but rather cave-dwelling, big nosed goblins.
* EpicFlail: One of the early threats is a couple of Orcs wielding big spiked balls on long chains. You fight them with a malus because they use their weapons to whip your sword from your grasp.
* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: Oh boy, monsters and traps at every step and in every room. [[spoiler: Except for the ghost girl who gives you a precious advice and the mysterious cone of light.]] Justified, because it was specifically designed to be nearly unwinnable by Sukumvit.
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Mirror Demon will grab you and drag you across the mirror in another dimension.
* FightingYourFriend: The Trialmaster will force you to duel Throm, the barbarian you befriended, in a DuelToTheDeath in order to proceed. It's rather cruel, though in hindsight it would have happened sooner or later.
* FinalBoss: The last mandatory boss you can fight fair and square is a massive Manticore found at the very end of the Dungeon, before the last door.
* GorgeousGorgon: Averted, the Gorgon you can encouter [[spoiler: In the cage covered with drapes]] looks like an old, snake-haired crone.
* GottaCatchThemAll: The three gemstones that open the final door. [[spoiler: Also, you pretty much need to encounter all the other heroes, alive or not, in order to reach the right path to the ending.]]
* GratuitousNinja: One of the contestants, which later ambushes you in the Dungeon. While Titan has a fantasy counterpart to Japan, it's in a whole other continent entirely.
