Description: A puzzle-environment show that takes a panel of UK comedians, gives them tasks and puzzles to complete, and then shows each of their results for the first time in front of an audience and the Taskmaster-- who then judges (often capriciously) the winner of each. It's a fantastic way to study how even very intelligent people can ignore clues, get flustered by time constraints, or laterally solve a problem in a way that the developers never intended. A must for anyone interested in designing interactive experiences!
