That's messed up. It's like one of those true movies where you would like to choke the parents out. Although sometimes I would like to lock my children up.
lol that's not very nice
but... nice teaser grilllllledcheeeeesee
it reminds me of that movie where that guy was in a massive studio all his life without knowing it and somehow had to get his way out...

Interesting teaser! A bit spooky though. No matter how mad my kids made me I would neveer lock them in the cellar! The cat though...! And what a reversal to realize she was in the cellar not outside! Quite ingenious!
I knew it was going to be about a nice place. I just didn't realize she was in the cellar! Good one!
Well, I thought it was about opening to go IN the cellar... and I don't understand how anyone could logically get that but meh, good one.
I suppose it was clever as teasers go, but I don't like that it referred to child abuse.
Umm...a pretty weird teaser dont u think...ok not weird unussal! But why did her parents not want here to see a living room or a garden???
How sad... Good teaser though, just not too cheerful!
Poor little Girl!
MORBID !!!
I agree with everyone else. Your teaser was cleverly written but I don't like the topic.
Well there are teasers that refer to murder. thanks for the comments guys
I'm just not demented enough to get that teaser I guess!
yeah i wouldve never gotten it if i tried... how depressing!
I actually didn't think very hard but this teaser was cool!
Well at least she's liberated now
I guess you mean't they told her not to open the door, because there was things that "they did not want her to see". I am sure the outside world is something she is mean't to see.
Great teaser! I hope that nobody does that...
well tintiniscool, things like this do happen, and sadly it isn't uncommon either. I agree with everyone as well. I don't think it is nice to entertain my brain with child abuse stories. There's enough of that going on in the media. Interesting point though, to see things from other perspectives
Quite sad though i odn't think it should be in the situation section but the mystery section who agrees?
thats horrible
I agree with the 22 other people,but I got it wrong,and look at my username!!!!!
tHE PARENTS ARE MEAN
I've got 1 question....
Was she born in the cellar?
Was she born in the cellar?
I was way wrong..
I thought they were hiding her gifts, like for a birthday or christmas, down there.

too many possible answers. i agree. thats too mean. great teaser, just change the subject next time.
Good teaser but a little ambiguous
Clever! I should have gotten it after the hint.
Poor girl!
good question sora.
well, this just makes me realize that things like this actually do happen... anyone who would do that to a child is a creep!
i love this teaser!!!!!!!!! favsss.
nice teaser, i cant beleive people didnt like it. i mean, the whole point of these things is to use logic, i guess they forgot to use it and just looked at the story. oh well, i liked it!
I agree with kiddo but it was sad!
I'm the opposite. I thought it was a cool topic, but there were too many other answers. Why couldn't it be a good, old fashioned monster, or secret torture chamber? I didn't read the hint, and thought it might be Christmas presents! Cute idea, though.
Nice twist!
That's sad and sick! A great teaser!!
I saw this in a book before. My eyes were tearing up the first time I read it and it still sort of is....
oops!!! got this one wrong!!!
oh well there is next time..
although u could ahve more detail like what it looked liked around her.. coz i really thought she was outside the cellar!!
and i was very wrong i thought that they were hiding things there like gifts and mysterious things and all of that stuff...

yikes.
THOSE PARENTS ARE CRUEL!!! at least she's out now
WHO IN THIER RIGHT MIND WOULD LOCK THEIR CHILD UP IN A CELLAR
This is extremely clever, but also extremely disturbing. I'm not sure whether to high-five the creator or punch them in the face.
Did I miss something here that made this teaser have ANY sense? There are so many answers to this!
OK, I have to admit, I did get it right on the first try, but she might as well seen a clown doing jumping jacks
The teaser has no logic.
Dishhead... The movie is called The Truman Show. If you were wondering. that movie made me cry so hard. I also laughed but still...
