HomeTasking

#HomeTasking is a series of online Taskmaster tasks posed by Alex Horne. Beginning in March 2020, the games were inspired by the 2019 coronavirus pandemic and medical advice on social distancing (which in some countries meant that people were advised or made to stay indoors for a period of weeks).

The tasks were published on Monday and Wednesday at 9am GMT/BST (though the first week included a task set on the Friday, with a brief 6-hour deadline). Responses were mostly sent via Twitter, and a selection were included in a YouTube compilation video (including ten responses which earned between 1 and 10 points).
