Pinch, protect, or plunder
- In this live studio task, each contestant begins with three objects (e.g. balls or potatoes) in front of them, representing points.
- Over a number of rounds, they must then decide whether to pinch one object from another contestant, protect their own objects, or plunder all of the objects from someone.
- If they choose to protect their objects, they cannot be plundered, but other contestants may still pinch a single object from them.
- The winner is the contestant with the most objects left at the end of the task.
Original version
In this version of the task, the contestants must choose whether to pinch, protect, or plunder, and end up with the most balls. Points are awarded on a scale of 1 to 5, based on who has the most balls remaining.
Adaptations
In this version of the task, the items to be snatched, stolen, or shielded are potatoes, rather than balls. Also, the potatoes represent real episode points, instead of just in-game points.
In this version of the task, the items to be pinched, protected, or plundered are plastic salmon, and the salmon represent in-game points, rather than episode points.
