The Needle Pit was a trap seen in Saw II.
Description
This trap involved a pit in the middle of a nursery, filled with over 120,000 filthy, used syringes. A locked door in the room contained an antidote, but was set on a four minute timer. If the timer expired, the door would remain locked forever. This trap was meant for Xavier, a drug dealer, who would have to jump into the pit of needles to find the key to the door. The key was attached to a glow stick, and was hidden among the syringes, however, instead of going in himself, he picked up Amanda and threw her in to find the key for him. Although she discovered the key in time, Xavier fumbled with it and was unable to unlock the door before time ran out. This trap, unlike many of Jigsaw's other traps, would not kill the victim if they had failed the task, but was meant to be more of a punishment (although the victim would still die from the effects of the nerve agent unless an antidote was found).
This trap was nominate on Scream Awards 2006 for Most Memorable Mutilation. (Stabbed by syringes)
Original Idea: The creators and writers of Saw II had originally intended for Amanda to land up to her neck in the needles as if it were a pool, but realized that it would be impossible for her to sink into such a pool. Also, getting enough needles would have taken too long, as it took the production team a long time to get as many needles as they had.

Hello, Xavier. I want to play a game. The game I want to play is very similar to the one that you've been playing as a drug dealer. The game of offering hope to the desperate, for a price. I think we can agree that your situation is desperate. So I offer you hope. The price that you pay is that you must crawl into the same pit of squalor you force your customers into. By entering this room, a timer has been started. When the timer expires, the door in front of you will be locked forever. Only in finding the key before the timer runs out can you unlock and retrieve the antidote inside. I will give you just one hint as to where that key is: it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Let the game begin.

Trivia
- The concept was later reused, on a smaller scale, in the Saw video games. The Player would have to dig through a toilet full of used needles in order to find items such as keys, nails, fuses or couplers.
- It is entirely possible that Dr. Lawrence Gordon provided the used syringes for The Needle Pit.
