So just post your ideas with some of its mechanics. I am actually working on a trap I've called Spiked Crushing Wall, and I will post it soon enough

Target: one creature who moves into trap area.   Attack: +4 vs. reflex. Hit Effect: slide the target 2 squares and knock the target prone.  Make secondary attack. Miss: target remains in square prior to moving into trap area and movement is stopped. Effect: trap area becomes difficult terrain. Secondary attack: +5 vs. Fortitude Hit: 1d.6+4 damage and target is dazed. I like it as a trap because it can be anywhere, even where the characters aren't expecting a trap.

Now, each round the floor violently tips one random direction, making an attack against Ref. There are various bits of cover and terrain on the floor that each side can use. During the fight, the hit characters need to make checks to keep their feet and avoid prone (Acro and Ath), or a creative use of another skill. At the same time, they are in a skill challenge 4 succ vs 3 fail, with hard DCs. They are trying to throw the lever or jam the floor in place.  (Thievery, Athletics to throw something at the lever, or move terrain to wedge it.) Other options might include  Arcana (mage hand) or Insight to figure out what way it will tilt, gaining a bonus to defenses. Perception and Dungeoneering could give bonuses to other checks. Success means the floor stops, evening the playing field with the flying or mobile enemies, and then lowers slowly. Failure means at the end of the fight, the floor stops tilting and just drops 30 feet with large steel spikes firing up through it (50% chance of coming up through square a PC is in), doing high damage. Either way, the floor lowers to reveal a new level.

This activates the magnatrons turning the room into a giant microwave. Now when an organic creature is microwaved it explodes. (I know this because one of my friends IRL decided to microwave 5 earthworms.) The only way to survive is to destroy the magnatrons before they turn on.
