Skylanders Trap Team, released in October 2014, marks the fourth iteration of Activision's revolutionary "toys-to-life" franchise. This action-adventure game introduces a major innovation: the ability to capture villains using Traptanium traps, allowing players to use them as playable characters. This unique mechanic strengthens the interaction between the physical and virtual worlds, a characteristic of the series. With the introduction of Trap Masters, new environments like the Skyhighlands, and extended compatibility with tablets, Trap Team has enriched the Skylanders experience while maintaining the appeal of the collection. This installment has contributed to the expansion of the Skylanders universe until 2016, offering fans 172 collectible items to integrate into their virtual adventures.
