{"product_id":"taskmaster-advent-calendar-2026-volume-2","title":"Official Taskmaster Advent Calendar 2026 - Volume 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is not a chocolate advent calendar.\u003c\/strong\u003e It says so on the back of the box, in capitals. What it is instead is a 24-day puzzle game: open a door, find a room of the Taskmaster house and a task, and complete it to work out where tomorrow's door is hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe premise is that the Taskmaster has locked Little Alex Horne up until the house is festive to his exacting standards, and you have until Christmas Day to get him out. Get a task right and you're a step closer. Get it wrong and Greg will be disappointed in you, quietly but thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is Volume 2, the 2026 edition, and it is the official Channel 4 licensed calendar with bonus content written by Alex Horne himself. Inside there are 24 daily tasks, 6 bonus tasks, 24 rooms, 2 secret rooms, one hidden Alex and — for reasons that become clear — 41 ducks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested age is 14+\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is worth saying plainly: the tasks are written for teenagers and adults, not small children, and some of them are genuinely hard. It plays solo or as a household, and if a puzzle beats you there are hints online.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvent calendars are a one-shot each year — once December starts, a calendar bought late is a calendar half wasted. \u003cstrong\u003eWe have these in stock now at 22 Burgate in Canterbury\u003c\/strong\u003e, and you're welcome to come and have a proper look at the box before you commit.
