Keep a balloon in the air

  • In this task the contestants are instructed to keep a balloon in the air for the longest. They may only touch the balloon with unique objects.

Original version

In this version of the task the Taskmaster's assistant releases the balloon after a set amount of time, regardless of whether the contestant is ready.

Adaptations

In this version of the task the contestants tell the Taskmaster's assistant when to release the balloon.
In this team version of the task, the contestants have to achieve the longest balloon rally, hitting the balloon back and forth over a net to one another, using new objects for each strike. They are able to attempt the task as many times as they like within the allotted time, or until the balloon bursts.
