Story-time chairs

  • In this live studio task, the contestants must listen to the Taskmaster reading a story, and attempt to take a seat when words matching defined rules are read.
  • It is essentially a game of musical chairs, with the contestant who is unable to find a seat being eliminated in each round.
  • Contestants are also eliminated if they sit down before they are meant to.
  • The rules for the words to listen out for change with each round.
