Task briefs

The first task brief is presented on an easel standing on a turntable on the driveway. The second task brief is presented to one of the contestants by Alex. The briefs for the task are as follows:

Each person must write down three words to describe a memorable scene.

You must be silent throughout.

And your team-mate must not see what you have written.

You have one minute.

Your time starts now.

Paint your memorable scene so that your team-mate can guess your three words.

You must not give any clues about your own three-word scene except by painting the scene.

You must not write any words.

Fastest wins.

Your time starts when the turntable turns.

The task brief rests in front of a blank canvas on an easel, with a marker in front.

Task notes

There is an easel with a blank canvas, a sheet of card, a marker pen, and a range of paintbrushes on the turntable for each contestant in the team.
Each contestant is also provided with paints and an artists’ palette on a plinth, next to the circular red Taskmaster-branded marker spot on which they stand during the task.
After the contestants have written down their three words on the piece of card, Alex collects the sheets from them.
Once the task begins, the turntable is switched on.
