Task brief

The task brief is laid on the table in the lab, next to a cupcake with an unlit candle in it. The brief for the task is as follows:

Light the candle in the caravan with the flame of this candle.

Fastest wins.

Your time starts now.

Markl appears to clarify with the contestants after the task brief has been read that the candle may not be relit.
Each contestant has a unique design rendered in icing on their cupcake: Gilmário’s has a smiley face; Inês’ has a unicorn; Jessica’s has a ladybird; Toy’s has a pig; and Tânia’s has a cow.
As the contestants attempt to carry the cupcake to the caravan, they encounter bubble machines blowing bubbles at them, and then water sprinkling from above as they try to exit the house.
The key to unlock the caravan is hung on the door that the contestants must pass through, in order to exit the house. Unlocking the caravan is unintentionally complicated further by the fact that the caravan has an old door which, even when unlocked, is difficult to open.
