Task notes
- The contestants are not allowed to leave whichever room they choose to enter until Alex blows his horn.
- Most spaces and rooms on the Taskmaster house grounds have additional task briefs in them, which provide clues to the location of the secret task.
- It seems likely that the original intention for this task was that someone would find it on their own, in response to Alex’s regular prompts about whether they’d done so. However, this apparently never occurred, so the show presumably had to force the contestants to look for it by creating this task, to be completed on the day of filming team tasks (which usually happens later in the production schedule).
