Taskmaster Board Game - Compete With Family & Friends In Ludicrous Tasks To Be Crowned Taskmaster Champion

We did the taskmaster charity thing over Christmas (where you donated for a series of video challenges that can be played remotely) and it was amazing but it also made us realised that most of the tasks included in the board game version can be played remotely over Zoom/Teams etc too. You'll need to be a bit flexible and the Taskmaster will need to just skip the task if it's something that needs you to be in the same room together. Likewise some of the secret tasks won't work remotely but you can just discard it until you get one you can do etc. It's a format that for the most part works brilliantly remotely and many of the tasks are better as you aren't all in the same kitchen fighting for space (and bread , cereal and ketchup etc!) No mater if you are playing in the same house or doing it remotely it's a fantastic board game and easily one of the best £20 we've spend on a game - it's one of the classic games in our household, up there with Dobble, Frustration and Pass The Pigs because it's as much fun for our 11 year old daughter as it is for us. One thing to note is that your enjoyment of the game is definitely proportional to the effort you put in - if you throw yourself into the tasks and want to have fun you will, and it's very true that you get back what you put in with this game. If you want to have fun playing this you really will, and it's provided some of the biggest laughs during lockdown. A must for fans of the show then, and still a brilliant purchase even if you aren't but want a brilliant game that the whole family can enjoy either in person or remotely over the internet.

I've had this game for a couple of weeks now and played it twice with two separate groups of people. I enjoyed it both times and my kids absolutely loved it! You take it in turns to be 'The Taskmaster'. You pick a card and read the task for everyone else to attempt, then you give them points according to how well they did. The task cards are in four categories (Kitchen, Living Room, Lab and Garden - rooms from the house in the TV show) and this gives you a rough idea of the sort of thing you'll be doing. There are also secret tasks that each participant attempts to complete without anyone knowing until the end of the game. Finally, there's the final task. These cards have a QR code which you scan with your phone and the link takes you to a video of Little Alex Horne setting you the last task which is a fun way to finish! (There are also printed final tasks in case you can't scan the QR code) The game is suitable for a range of ages. It's well made, well thought out and includes fun little features like a set of little wipe-clean portrait frames for each player to draw themselves on and keep track of the scores. If you're a fan of the TV show or the book, you'll enjoy this game. If you haven't seen the TV show or the book (why not?) you will enjoy this game if you don't mind getting stuck in, having fun and attempting hilarious challenges for the entertainment of yourself and others.

We’re using it while on lockdown and it’s helped pass many fun evenings. The challenges are great and there’s a secret task round that’s a great addition, things like sticking your tongue out while writing without being noticed! The price was a bit high for what you actually get, in a material sense, if I’m being picky but highly doubt anyone will care that much given the use you can get from it.

We’re big fans of Taskmaster and bought this for our son - we haven’t played the full game yet but it is really well done. What we did do was use it for party games with some of his school friends on a dark December night and did some informal scoring around it led by the Taskmaster (my husband). It kept 4 competitive teenage boys entertained for 2 hours and the results were hilarious. From being the last to stand up before the toast pops to making a beard and eyebrows from a slice of bread, or throwing a teabag in a cup from the greatest distance to drawing a picture of a cake with their eyes shut, these simple tasks got them all competing for the little trophy. We are looking forward to playing the full game properly.

Recommend this to anyone who is up for a bit of an alternative challenge when they play board games with their family or friends! You do need to get up and be active (fumble around the kitchen, rifle through drawers to find objects that suit your purpose) so yes, it does require a bit of commitment - but it is absolutely worth it! I love the TV show and this game did not disappoint. If you're a fan of Taskmaster, you'll love this I reckon. If you've never watched Taskmaster on TV, I think you'll love it anyway (my sister played the Taskmaster for our first game and got into it straight away despite not having seen it before!)

This is such a fun game to play with family! We loved it! There's different tasks for different rooms, mostly written on little cards though there are some QR codes to receive video tasks on our phones which is a nice little extra! We laughed, got creative, and we also got competitive. Great game! Only downside was it arrived damaged 😏 The box had a huge dent in the bottom and the stickers holding the lid down looked like they'd been unsealed previously. Only a small issue though.

This was hilarious, and such a good game to play with my family. Only thing i would say is make sure you have bread, toilet rolls, paper and pens a plenty! We only did the Kitchen and Lounge rooms as it was raining outside and dark, so saved the garden room for next time! Can't wait to play this in the summer when we (FINALLY!!!!!!...maybe) out of lockdown and can have friends round!

Only played once so far. But was really good value for money and is a fun game to make people interact
