Wear this outfit throughout one future task was a special task featured on Series 18 of Taskmaster in ...and then a detective comes in.
Setup[]
| Location | Taskmaster House |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Hot Dog Costume |
| Timing | Until their final task |
Summary[]
The task was presented inside the contestant's pigeonhole. The contestant had to decide to wear the Hot Dog Costume Alex was wearing before one future task is set. The costume wearer could double their scores of said task regardless of their standings (ex. 5 points = 10 points or 1 point = 2 points).
The wording of "You have until your time in Taskmaster is over." means that contestants could potentially opt to wear the suit during a prize task or live task in the studio.
