I guessed use the metal to pick the lock. So I was pretty close. Good job!!
Good one! I actually fell for it...
Haha! Good one! What about, that was the CLOSEST window, but there was another one a little farther and you climbed out???
Great teaser, i guessed you pick the lock with the metal.
Well, that one got me! I guessed use a metal edge to cut yourself, write a message for help on the metal (in blood), tie the red vine to the metal, throw it out the window and wait for the rescue!
(Use the red vine to retrieve it if it didn't make it out the window!)
That's the dumbest explanation I think I've ever come up with!

Im glad u like it coz its my 1st teaser.
VERY funny!!!!!!!
ha ha very funny i guessed the licorice rope
That was a good one!
good teaser, but i got it straight away...
I thought you bent the metal so it'd work as a gravel hook, tie the rope to it and escape. Great teaser though!
haha i fell for that
I thought that the CLOSEST" window was on the celing but there was another one that you could get out if you used the metal to break it open. Or the metal could break the door because the building is old and the walls and door are rotton.
Good, but it should go in Trick.
HAHAHA! Love it, thought you'd use the metal to cut yourself, take plaster fron the wall (with the metal) and write on it with blood saying to follow the licorice rope up. Guess, it was just an epic answer.
