Question

What do I do if I asked to be kidnapped but then change my mind after I'm already locked in the trunk?

Question

Can I become unconscious in a trunk if there are multiple people in it struggling?

Community Answer

Yes. They will quickly consume the little oxygen available. Without a sufficient amount of oxygen, you'll pass out.

Question

How can a person see or feel the trunk lever if they're blindfolded and tied up from head to toe?

Community Answer

You can't. You will first need to try to untie yourself. Or you could try to open it with your mouth and roll out of the car.

Let the alcohol go into your mouth and then spit it out discreetly when the kidnapper isn't looking.

Question

How would see I what I'm doing? Wouldn't the trunk be pitch black inside?

Community Answer

Use any available light source. If you have your phone, use the screen's back light and even if there isn't any other source, the car's tail lights will give some light.

Could I punch my abductor?

Community Answer

Yes, you can punch your abductor, but if you do, you should try to run away immediately while he's distracted by the pain.

Question

What do I do if I am chained in?

Community Answer

There should be a thing on the inside that you can pull and open the trunk. If there isn't one or you can't get to it because of the chains, try and do whatever the person who has you says.
