=List of traps in Saw 1= The first Saw film contains five distinct traps, four of which are designed to specifically test and/or punish its victim/s for their major sins.

“The Razor- Wire Cage”
The Trap: Paul wakes up in the middle of a net of barbed wire, with a timer set that will close the exit, trapping and leaving him to die. He must climb through the razor wire to find a small hole in the cage. The Motive: Jigsaw did this because Paul apparently cut himself for attention. The irony of this was that if Paul actually did want to die, he would just have to remain still, but to live he would have to cut himself again. Tape: "Hello, Paul. You're a perfectly healthy, sane, middle-class male. Yet, last month, you ran a straight razor across your wrists. Did you cut yourself because you truly wanted to die, or did you just want some attention? Tonight you'll show me. The irony is that if you want to die, you just have to stay where you are. But if you want to live, you'll have to cut yourself again. Find the path through the razor wire to the door. But hurry, at 3:00 that door will lock and then this room becomes your tomb. How much blood will you shed to stay alive, Paul?"

“The Combination Safe”
The Trap: Mark is trapped in a room with broken glass covering the floor. He is told that there is a slow-acting poison in his system which will kill him unless he retrieves the antidote from a safe in the middle of the room. Hundreds of combinations are written on the walls. Mark also is covered in a very flammable liquid and given only a candle in the dark room to crack the code on the safe. The Motive: Mark was put in this trap because he was committing workman’s fraud. Jigsaw found it fitting that Mark would be burned to death as revenge for the people Mark burned with his scam. Tape: "Hello Mark, if you're so sick, then why do I have so many photos of you up and about? Let's put your so called illness to the test. Right now, there is a slow acting poison in your veins. The antidote is inside the safe. The combination to the safe is written on the walls. Hurry up and program it in, but watch your step. And by the way, that is a flammable substance smeared on your body. So I would be careful with that candle if I were you, or all the people you've burned with your act just might have their revenge" .

“The Reverse Beartrap”
The Trap: Amanda is tied to a chair with a large metal device on her head which is hooked into her upper and lower jaws. It is set on a one minute timer and will instantly kill her. The key to remove this device is hidden in an unconscious mans stomach near her, forcing Amanda to kill him to save her own life. The Motive: Amanda was a heroin addict. Tape: "Hello, Amanda. You don't know me but I know you. I want to play a game. Here's what happens if you lose. The device you're wearing is hooked into your upper and lower jaws. When the timer at the back goes off, your mouth will be permanently ripped open. Think of it like a reverse bear trap. Here, I'll show you. There is only one key to open the device. It's in the stomach of your dead cellmate. Look around, Amanda; know that I'm not lying. Better hurry up. Live or die, make your choice." Success Tape: "Congratulations! You are still alive. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not you, not anymore."

“The Quadruple Shotgun Hallway”
This trap differs from the others in the movie in that it was not designed to test a character, but rather was put in place for the purpose of security. In one main hallway of Jigsaws’ warehouse hideout there are four shotguns suspended from the ceiling and connected to a trip wire at ground level. When the victim (Detective Sing) runs through in pursuit of Jigsaw, he trips the wire, firing all 4 double barrel shotguns directly down simultaneously. This lethal booby trap rips Detective Sing to pieces, removing most of his head completely.

"The Bathroom Jail”
The bathroom trap is by far the most elaborate and well thought out trap of Saw. The trap itself is the scene of the movie, with all other traps being shown through flashback sequences. The two main characters of the film, Adam Stanheight and Dr. Lawrence Gordon, awake in darkness, chained by the ankles to opposite sides of a large industrial bathroom. A dead man lay in a pool of blood in the middle of the room, out of reach, clutching a gun and a tape player. The trap itself is somewhat of a scavenger hunt, with multiple clues and objectives, rather than the simple self mutilation required by the majority of the Jigsaw traps. Both men have cassettes in their pockets which inform them that the objective of this “game” is for Lawrence to kill Adam before a set time limit or else his family will be killed and he will be left to rot in the bathroom. Both characters are given hacksaws only sharp enough to cut through flesh. Lawrence is given a bullet and told to saw off his leg to load the gun and kill Adam, while Adam is encouraged to saw off his leg and escape. While following the rest of Jigsaws’ clues, Lawrence discovers another way to kill Adam, two cigarettes and instructions to poison them in the blood. Lawrence instead tries to trick Jigsaw, recruiting Adam to pretend to die. The motionless Adam is shocked awake however by a current going through his chain, revealing his ruse and wasting Lawrence’s chance to make it out unharmed.
