Every Saw Trap Ranked From Worst To Best

56. Saw V - The Ceiling Jars

Trap: In a room rigged with time-bombs, there are four locked shelters. There are keys in various jars hanging from the ceiling, but only for three of the shelters.

Much like the Bathtub Trap, which takes place just after this one, the Ceiling Jars is a very dull and unimaginative trap where you'll feel totally disconnected from everything that's going on.

This one is particularly jarring for two main reasons. Firstly, it kills off the most interesting of the five characters in Saw V's main game far too early and secondly, it's later revealed that all five of the players in this game could've made it to the end had they worked together.

This was a good revelation, but in the case of this trap it's bewildering that the victims didn't figure this out. Those shelters were clearly big enough for more than one person.
