Rainsford came up with traps to thwart Zaroff because he is a master hunter and has hunted almost everything there is to hunt. He is clever, and is used to being out in the wild and surviving. He also makes a certain "pit of death" like trap for Zaroffs dogs because he saw them in a pen earlier in the book.

What is the climax of the most dangerous games?

Rainsford appearing in the bedroom. If the resolution is that Rainsford survives and Zaroff does not, the turning point must be what causes that ending. The cause of that ending is Rainsford's appearance in the room. There is no falling action seen in the novel. The climax is the turning point of the story. It mostly falls in the middle or at the end of the story. In other words it is when Rainsford changes his personality. The climax, i think is personally is when Rainsford jumps into the sea, from here on the events change in the mood of the setting and what actually happends I must say the Climax of the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" is when Zaroff decided he wanted to hunt Rainsford which was when the story had the most action. when Rainsford had to run for his life and also had to make traps. Although many people say the climax was when Rainsford came into Zaroff's bedroom and attacked/killed him
