Disguise your silhouette from the Taskmaster

Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Make Babben think you’re someone else by masking your silhouette.

Pass behind the screen from the left to the right for at least three seconds.

Only one contestant may walk at a time.

The contestant who successfully tricks Babben the most times wins.

Task notes

The contestants are lined up side-by-side on stage, in front of a backlit projection screen, which has curtains on either side.
Behind the curtain on the left-hand side, there are a variety of props and costumes for the contestants to wear, to disguise their silhouettes.
Immediately behind the screen itself, there is a low wooden bench which they must walk or crawl across to ensure that their silhouette is fully visible on the screen.
After Babben makes her guess, she covers her eyes with a masquerade-style mask on which there is a picture of her own eyes, so that the contestant can reveal themselves to the audience as they make their way back to the other side of the screen without her seeing.
