The Official Taskmaster Advent Calendar 2026

24 Days. 1 locked-up Alex. Earn Alex's freedom one day at a time.

Behind each door is a task - and solving it reveals which door to open the next day. No numbers. No shortcuts. Just festive chaos all the way to Christmas day.

Expect props, puzzles, festive nonsense, and the occasional message from Little Alex Horne himself.

It's possibly the most ridiculous advent calendar you'll ever open - and definitely the most fun.

Brand new for 2026, this year's edition features entirely new tasks, puzzles, and experience - even if you played last year's, this is a whole new challenge!

How It Works / How to Play:

• Alex has been locked up. We're not saying why but your task is to free him.
• Each day, open a door to reveal a new task. Complete it to uncover the clue that tells you where to find the next door.
• Get it right, and you move one step closer to freeing Alex.
• Get it wrong… Alex won't be able to escape in time for Christmas.
• No numbers; no mercy… there's no traditional order - to progress to the next day, you'll need to solve the previous day's task correctly.
• And if you get stuck? Hints are available online to give you a nudge (or a full-blown clue)… just don't tell Greg.
• Can you free Alex in time for Christmas?

What's Inside:

• Behind each door, you'll step into a different part of the Taskmaster world as if you're a contestant on the show.
• There will be physical props, puzzle elements, exclusive online elements and secret reveals to lead (or confuse) you to the next step.
• Some tasks are simple. Some are ridiculous. All of them are designed to make this Christmas wonderfully absurd!
• So go on - read the task, panic slightly, and enjoy 24 days of festive chaos.
