Complete an objective while trying to avoid being spotted by the Taskmaster's assistant

Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, the contestants must attempt to move as many cushions as possible from one bin to another, while trying to avoid Alex identifying the colour of the cape they are wearing. They are disqualified if Alex correctly identifies the colour of their cape, if any cushion touches the ground, or if they move the bins. Alex alternately closes and opens his eyes on a schedule determined by the number of letters in the words written on the task brief, blowing a whistle each time.

Locations:

Painshill Park

Task brief

The task brief is either laid on a circular red Taskmaster-branded marker spot, or presented to the contestants by Alex, in front of The Ruined Abbey at Painshill park. The brief for the task is as follows:

Move the most cushions from one bin to the other bin without Alex correctly saying what colour cape you're wearing.

You must be wearing a cape on the outside of your clothes throughout.

You may not move the bins.

If a cushion touches the ground, the task is over.

Alex will alternately open then shut his eyes for as many seconds as there are letters in each of the words in this task.

You have six minutes.

Your time starts when Alex blows his whistle.

A duck struts in front of Alex Horne, who is stood in the ruins of an abbey.

Task notes

On the left-hand side of the abbey, there is a wheelie bin full of cushions, and a selection of five different coloured capes.
On the right-hand side of the abbey, there is a second wheelie bin.
Alex stands in the middle of the abbey, looking straight out towards the lake at all times throughout the task.
