With the mission provided, all teams set out to locate the case. The teams must work together to earn clues to the Mission Impossible team-building activity as they explore the area together using a variety of approaches and learning styles (visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic). Participants will be divided into small groups, with the mission of fulfilling tasks that will lead them across the project venue. The first group finishing the tasks will win. All the groups will have the same tasks.
The Myth: The Minotaur was a monster from the Cretan cycle of Greek mythology that had the body of a man, and the head and tail of a bull and lived in the Labyrinth, in the basements of the palaces of Knossos. This minotaur decreed that every nine years seven boys and seven girls should go to Crete as food for the Minotaur as long as the monster lived. The third time the Athenians had to pay the tribute because they were displeased with Aegeus, the son of Theseus asked that he himself be sent to the island, in order to pacify the multitudes and put an end to the blood tribute, taking the place of one of the seven young men sailing from Faliro at the beginning of the month of Munich (today's March). Sailing to Crete he met the daughter of Minos, Ariadne who fell in love with him and asked him to promise that he would take her to his homeland and marry her. Then she gave him a skein of thread, the well-known "Myth of Ariadne" so that when Theseus entered the labyrinth he could untangle it so that after killing the Minotaur, he could find the exit. Indeed, the hero, after attaching one end to the entrance of the labyrinthine abode, killed the monster and, wrapping the mito, managed to get out of the Labyrinth. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Theseus, Ariadne and the other youths escaped to the harbour and boarded the ship to return to Athens.
