Once a team member steps on a mine, they must return back to the start position and the next person must try to navigate their way across the minefield.

There can only be one person in the minefield at any time.The team must take it in turns to cross, if unsuccessful in their attempt to cross, the team member must go to the back of the line. Once a team member steps into the minefield, the rest of the team cannot talk. A move can be in any direction but each move must be one square at a time.
