Task briefs

The briefs for the task are as follows:

Pick a book from the Taskmaster’s treasure crate.

Balance the book on your head.

Say a synonym to the word given to you by the Taskmaster.

You have 5 seconds to say the synonym.

You may not repeat a synonym that has already been said.

If you fail to come up with a new synonym, you are out of the game.

The last contestant remaining is the winner.

Task notes

  • The contestants are standing side-by-side in a line on the stage, and there is a box in front of them, with fabric covering the top so they cannot see its contents.
  • They have to reach through a hole in the fabric to fish out a book from within at random.
  • Ultimately, their book selection has no bearing on the task, though – it seems that the act of balancing the book has simply been added in order to give them a second thing to focus on, while coming up with synonyms.
