Participants take turns trying out differnt different paths through the maze . Thereis only one correct path through the maze (outlined on the answer key). The path goes left, right,forward or diagonally. Only one participant may enter the maze at a time, trying out onesquare at a time until making an incorrect move. Once a participant makes an incorrectmove, he or the facilitator lets her/him know and she /he must move back to the beginning and can not go again until all otherparticipants take a turn. After each square the facilitator confirms that the participant hasmade a correct or incorrect move. The team cannot use external materials of any kind(e.g. coins to mark the correct path).
===Variations===
===Debrief Questions===
* How did you determine the correct path? What strategy/ies strategies did you use to remember it?
* How many mistakes (stepping on the wrong square more than once) did you make? Why did that happen? What could have been done to improve it?
* How was the support level of the group? What did it feel like to be in the maze? To make a mistake?
