A Very Loose Interpretation of Taskmaster -- the Home Edition

You’re in.

At some point soon, you will receive a sealed task. Do not open it early. Do not tamper with it. Do not attempt to outsmart the process before it has begun.

Commit to the bit.

Each task must be completed as it is first attempted. The process is part of the game.

How this works

All the information is on the task.

Roles

The assistant can read the task aloud to you if you prefer them to, or you can read it outloud to them and the camera.

Rules

Filming

Film in landscape orientation.

Make sure what you’re doing is reasonably visible and understandable. Audio should be clear enough to follow your decisions.

Footage that cannot be reasonably used may be sanctioned accordingly.

Beyond that, you are trusted to exercise judgement.

Task Windows, Deadlines & Communications

You will receive the sealed brief. You may open it and begin the task only during the designated task window. You may complete the task anytime within this window, but once the window closes, this task is no longer eligible.

Do not discuss the task with anyone else — including other players — until the task window has ended. Commitment and secrecy are part of the game.

Communications:

The Olympic spirit

This is a game of creativity and commitment based on trust. There are no prizes for technicalities. Do not redo tasks, rehearse outcomes, or optimise. Commit fully. <3

More instructions (and your first task) will follow.
