For those of you looking for replacement rubber bands, just measure the distance between the two points where the rubber band goes when they are as close together as they'll get, then use a rubber band that is just slightly smaller. Simple!

I recently purchased a 1970's Mouse Trap Game at an estate sale which did not include instructions. According to Wikipedia cheese pieces were introduced in an update in the 1970's to make the game more challenging. Would be interested if anyone had instructions for the early version of the game.

Any size rubber band will work. If it is too big just make a little loop around either one or both spots that the rubber band attaches to. Same thing happened to me.
