huh? He could still kill you just by hitting you with it, just like the man with the axe. You could have said door C because the man with the axe might not use it. Or Door a Because the man with the gun might not use it. silly
I liked this one. The chainsaw one could work if you toggled the words a lil bit. But i really liked this idea for a teaser. Good job
This is one of the worst teasers ever.
1. He can turn it on when you get to him
2. If he doesn't turn it on he can whack you with it
3. If you're using that kind of logic, then you might as well say A because who said the gun was loaded.

what i said about the #3, i just read it again and saw that it says its loaded.
Silly. he could still kill you with the chainsaw by hitting you, just as much as the man with the axe could.
opps, already posted.
Sorry, first teaser.
Yeah, who says that any of those men are going to kill you?
I would wait until they fall asleep. Or take the axe guy's axe.
Geez you guys are being so harsh! This is your first teaser? Well I think this is a good try for your first time. Keep at 'em
Its ok but even if it is off it is still sharp
Its ok but even if the axe is off it is still sharp
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that HE said it was on.
Tehe....good one!
lol good one!!!
He could turn it on in an instant, could he not?
If you're stuck in an old house, couldn't you use the chainsaw or axe to get through the walls? They are old after all.
everyone here is so critical.
*its a good thinking
*she said the gun was loaded
*when it wasnt turned on maybe she meant tht there is no way to plug it in if its an old house how do u know if there elictrical system
*chain saws my injure some1 but ive been jabbed throught the side with and un-working one and it cant hurt u much so the only prob is if he knocked u out or concusioned u
*How do u know if it was like an eight yr old tht made the teaser chances r she not but rememer tht any1 can come on this site its not like u have to be 18 to join.

I'm a BOY!
The answer wasn't that clear cut but i guessed it.
not good, but whatever. great attempt.
My friend told me this,and I put it on the site.
Even though I got this
"Door B. Who said the chainsaw was on?"
Who said the chainsaw was off?
Door A. The guy is blind
Door B. The guy has no hands
Door C. The guy has an axe (r) BODY SPRAY container
or
Punch a hole through the wall (old house)
OR
Door A. He has a loaded FAKE gun
Door B. He has a rubber chainsaw
Door C. He has a plastic axe
Or
Door A. The guy with the gun is dead
Door B. The guy with the chainsaw is dead
Door C. The guy with the axe is dead

Well, it didn't say whether or not the men with the deadly, violent, life-threatening weapons were actually skilled in using them..
and it didn't say whether or not any of those men were friendly, and just so happened to be holding those weapons....
and it didn't say whether or not those men were even alive themselves...
and it didn't say whether or not they in restraint behind the doors...
Oh the joy of loopholes.

It was ok....... now my brothers are repeating that teaser over and over again!
How about you just walk out any of the doors since it never says any of those three guys are sociopathic murderers, and therefore probably won't kill you?
Freaky teaser.
Awesome! I didn't even come close to getting it, though...
My answer was that you didn't say they were trying to get you. But it was a good one anyway.
Horrible. there are many alternate answers. What if all of those people were friendly? What if it was a nerf gun, a styrophome chainsaw, and the other guy was dead? What if they were all just dummies?
Who said the chainsaw was off?
i said go out the window. sigh
or you could have a bomb strapped to your waste so they would let you pass.
or you could have been a master martial artist and just beat them up, or you had a full body bullet prrof suit and could take the shots of the gun, or ask them to move, pay them to let you pass, lots of stuff you could do.
haha i agree with xeepuzzlemaster.
i agree with preppy girl, if its an old house theres probabally not going to be electricity, also do u all have to be so mean, i thought it was a great teaser and hes was just talking about the main obvious functions of each of the weapons, you guys dont need to take it so literally. jeez
I didnt think like that but he could still stab you with it!
Well, I thought that the guys might not kill me. What if the person holding an axe was actually my dad? Although, you could still die if the dude with the chainsaw stabs you with it...
my answer was "any"
nod=body said they will kill me...
nice one though...
nod=body said they will kill me...
nice one though...
Great teaser. I have to agree, this teaser is debatable. That doesn't mean it's not good. It's fantastic. Please ignore the negative comments and be glad you have a teaser (which I think is great). Come on commenters, this is his first teaser. *Adds to favorites*
Thanks.
My thought was open them all up. Maybe they will be ruthless enough to go after eachother.
great teaser
since u just said he had no tv, computer, food, or water, i thought he had everything else. so i thought he had a much more stronger weapon than they did
Ugh, this is like a bad joke, it makes me groan. Good teaser.
Also, alternant answer:
A, who said the safty was off?

Wouldn't the other guys go out of the house? Why would they want to stay in a creepy old house?
Call the police
You didn't say there isn't a telephone!
You didn't say there isn't a telephone!
It never said that there was no telephone. You could call someone. Or you could go barging into the wall and hope that it breaks down!
Psh. an off chainsaw can kill too.
I wouldve broekn down the walls or got them all fighting each otehr.

Heheh, not as bad as some people are saying, but the answer was kind of anticlimactic; I was expecting a trickier answer...
As to the chainsaw, it could've been gas-powered. If someone can pistol-whip you, I'm sure they can chainsaw-whip you, too...
I guessed "open all the doors and RUN!"

My answer was you could go out anyway you want.. as far as the reader knows those three men could be friendly.
I think it is a brilliant teaser. Give the boy some credit - and some of these negative comments aren't just negative, they're ridiculous.
"You could be a master of martial arts" - well, are you? I'm sure the majority of the people reading this teaser aren't.
Another point that people don't seem to be getting is, if you do really want to take things so literally, surely you would want to maximise your chances of getting out alive? "The guy with the chainsaw could hit you with it" - well, of course he can, so can the guy with the gun or the guy with the axe, on top of the fact they can kill you with their primary functions. If you are in that room, actually think about which you're going to go through. You've been given the facts, and the biggest loophole is that the guy with the chainsaw hasn't got it on. You're not going to go through Door A because he might be blind, because how many people are going to choose a gun as their primary weapon if they're blind. You're not going to choose Door C, because, if he's got no hands, he would use something a lot more accomodating to his disability. In reality, this kid is going to survive a lot longer than any of these petty commenters.

Pffft, I guessed the chainsaw wasnt charged...
If I were the man, I'd climb out the window
I absolutely loooved this one!
I'm adding it to favorites!

You people make funny comments.
haha computer xD
I think I'd still be scared to walk through that door...he could still use the chainsaw to attack even if it's not on o.o

this is good 4 a first teaser. but preview a few more 2 get the hang of it.
I got that you go to another room, because you were stuck in the HOUSE not the specific room. Then find a door there. However, someone could be at those doors too.
Nice teaser, I myself am having a hard time getting my teasers on here. But good job!

who said they were real? who said it was off? who said they were going to kill you? who said they were alive? who said the walls were breakable? who said there was a telephone?
i thought it was any of them, they aren't going to use it.
Don't believe what you've seen in horror movies. Chainsaws make terrible weapons. They're noisy, unwieldy, have to be revved up and run on gas, none of which are ideal for a melee weapon. On top of that, there's the problem of kickback: if the saw's teeth come into contact with something they can't cut instantly, the chainsaw will jerk back, possibly into the person wielding it.
A chainsaw is meant to cut wood, not people. That's how it should be used.
