Plan your escape, pack a rescue kit, then explore a spooky mineshaft.
Rotting beams, rusty rails, cobwebs everywhere… and something skittering in the dark. Bring a plan.

What you’ll build
Before you go, rate the dangers of a mineshaft and plan a fix for each one. Find a mineshaft, set a torch rule so you can find your way out, and explore part of it carefully. Turn back when your rule says so, then sketch the tunnels you discovered.
Finish line: You explored the mineshaft safely, followed your turn-back rule, and mapped the tunnels you found.
Bonus challenge: Hand your tunnel sketch to a family member. Can they spot where the loot is and plan the safest way to reach it?
You’ll need

Stuck?
- Clear cobwebs with a sword or shears instead of walking into them.
- Cave spiders spawn in mineshafts, so light up areas as you go.
