Pop 99 red balloons
- In this task, the contestants are first instructed to choose from a selection of predesignated weapons, and from a selection of predesignated locations in the Taskmaster house.

- Those who burst more or fewer than 99 balloons are either disqualified or earn a time penalty.
Original version
In this version of the task, popping more or fewer balloons leads to a disqualification.
Adaptations
In this version of the task there are exactly 99 balloons, and therefore no disqualifications for popping too many.
In this version of the task, popping more or fewer balloons incurs a time penalty, instead of leading to a disqualification.
In this version of the task, there are no time penalties or disqualifications for popping the wrong number of balloons. However, if the contestant fails to say the terminating phrase, they are automatically assigned the maximum possible completion time of 10 minutes.
