thanks Andy. wish they could lower the power in trap monsters though.
But you do not have to fight them. When you fall into the trap either go do something else not related to the game for 10 minutes, or leave the Lab using the Back icon on the lower right and do something else in the game for 10 minutes. When you go back into the Lab after 10 minutes the Escape button will be active and you can leave without having to fight and still get the points.
