Explore a real cave and find your way back. You'll mark the entrance with a sign, place torches on one side as you go in, mine any ore you find and block off dark holes. Then turn back and follow your torches out.
Finish line: You explored a cave, found at least one ore and made it back out by following your torches.
Bonus challenge: Draw a bigger map of the cave from memory, or bring a friend to follow your torch trail.
