Obsessively documenting the international Taskmaster franchise. Warning: This site is lousy with spoilers!

Find and complete the real task

  • In this task, the contestants are presented with an overwhelming number of task briefs, but only one of them has the instructions for the actual task they are trying to complete, while all the others have text indicating that they are not the correct one.
  • The task briefs may be written in a variety of different languages to confuse matters.
  • The actual task is something simple such as thanking the Taskmaster's assistant, or whistling, so it is possible for the contestants to successfully complete the task without knowing how.
