Find the tiny prize
- In this task, the contestants are instructed to find a tiny prize (e.g. an almond or small rubber duck) hidden in a room in which there are multiple bowls full of some form of soft, wet food (e.g. risalamande or cake batter).
- The task is based on festive traditions around the world in which small prizes are hidden inside of food (e.g. the hiding of an almond in rice porridge, or the hiding of a prize in a King cake).
- The small prize may be hidden within the bowls as expected, or may be outside the bowls in plain sight, and clues may be provided to its location in the room.
Original version

In this version of the task, the contestants must find a tiny rubber duck which is hidden in one of many bowls full of cake batter on the table. Many of the bowls also contain hidden fava beans which, when found, incur a 10 second time penalty. There is a sign on the edge of the table facing the camera, pointing out exactly which container the rubber duck is hidden inside.
