A group must work together to find their way through an invisible maze. There is just one route, and they must experiment by stepping on different squares on the activity mat until they find it. After a brief planning period where they can talk freely, the participants must work in silence and have only 20 minutes.

Every time they step on a wrong square, the trainer blows a whistle to indicate their mistake. First-time mistakes are acceptable, but if anyone in the group steps on the same square again, the group must pay a fine of 1,000 'Metalogs.' They have only 10,000 Metalogs for the entire activity so learning from their mistakes is imperative!
