I bought the TaskMaster Advent Calendar 2025 from Puzzle Post. It was supposed to arrive mid/late Nov but they contacted me to say it was in a jam with the delivery company (I was unaware) and they were sending a new one out on next day delivery. Great customer service! New one arrived in time for Dec 1st.
My 12yo son and I had such a fun time with the TaskMaster advent calendar. Beautifully made. Fun little tasks/riddles/clues to complete (each one lasting only a couple of minutes each day) in order to find the next day's door. Will be highly recommending it to friends and family, and taking a look at what else Puzzle Post make for next year.

We bought the Taskmaster advent calendar this year. What a fantastic design! So much fun completing the challenges. It was difficult only doing one window a day. Whoever came up with the design needs an award! If there’s a 2026 version we’ll be ordering. Well done on such a brilliant product.

Overall genius! Really enjoyed it and made me look forward to another task!

Experienced puzzlers left disappointed .

We have bought these for years and completed many of them. We complete other company versions too (exit for example) so we know what we are looking for.

My disappointment comes in two ways

1- we received an envelope with several clues missing this year and have had no reply from puzzle post despite emailing them proof.

2- In one of the packs we had this time one of the clues was impossible to solve for us as very experienced puzzlers - even after reading the answer their solution just didn't work.

I pre-ordered a Taskmaster advent calendar. My parcel was lost by Royal mail, Puzzle Post customer service were amazing and sent another out so I had it in time for 1st December. The advent calendar was brilliant too, we enjoyed every second of it, we'll worth the money.

We recently played ‘The Deceit’. We were missing a piece of evidence that meant we couldn’t complete the puzzle so overall disappointing…

We were given up to 5 copies of some pieces of evidence, but then 0 copy of one crucial piece! This really ruined it at the end for us.

Puzzles were pretty basic and disappointingly didn’t all link together. It was just looking at one piece of evidence at a time.

Limited storyline and character development.

Overall, there are other at home escape room companies we’d recommend first…

It was a gift and was accepted well as it had been the second one that I had bought them and they really loved the first one.

I was so excited that I was able to nab one before they sold out! My 13 year old and I are big Taskmaster fans (watching on YouTube from the U.S.) It was wonderful having something fun to do together every day through December. The puzzles were just the right level of clever but not impossible. And there were so many inside jokes and Taskmaster lore crammed in. This is clearly designed by people who know and love Taskmaster, it's not just branded that way. It's Taskmaster through and through. Inside each door was a room in the house and there were multiple times we had to go back and find rooms or items from previous days. We were really careful to put everything back together (even at the end, which seems like it might truly be the end of the calendar, it was easy to reassemble) and we're passing it on to a family friend who is a huge Taskmaster fan and doing it for January! Really good quality.

Great fun! Good quality. Games for later.

We had a lot of fun solving The Blunder but unfortunately our envelope was missing two clues. Luckily we were able to go through their customer support and find them quickly but it had us quite lost for a while.

Worked great with just two people, moved along quickly

Was given The Confession as a Christmas gift. I love puzzles and couldn’t wait to get stuck in but what a disappointment. Some of the puzzles were doable but others were obtuse and made no sense. We’re smart people but we were just stumped by this. The clues are as unhelpful as the rest of the game. Gave up after half an hour. Will pass it onto some friends and see how they get on. Maybe it was just us?

We loved this, we were slow to get going but soon got in to the swing of things. Only problem was that the Script was missing. We had to get the answer for that one. Such a shame, but otherwise great fun.

Fantastic fun, challenging and everyone in the family was able to contribute!

Took us a very long time, with a couple family arguments, but it was all for the fun of the game

I completed 'The Inheritance' with my family over Christmas - it was a great experience and the puzzles were of a good difficulty. It is definitely suitable for families, as there were puzzles solvable by all ages, although this did mean that with 8 of us we got through it very quickly! It was a good activity for an afternoon, though. The customer service is excellent - I found a small issue with a website in the puzzle, and the customer service team offered me another product for free as compensation! Overall, would definitely buy again - especially perfect for a Secret Santa present :)

We were given Traitors Crackers for Christmas Day and had the best time. Really clever well thought out game, that actually worked. We all really got into the traitor/faithful vibe and had a great time doing the challenges and particularly the round table moment. One of our party took the Claudia role, (in full fancy dress!) and apart from being very funny it was rather useful for those who were not very App savvy. Loved it…what’s next…

The game requires WhatsApp but apparently the number that the game- the insider- uses no longer is on WhatsApp

My daughter bought (4) of these for (4) couples to complete. Everyone gave status updates each day, alot of fun for us Taskmaster fans here in the US. The game was well made and innovative, hope there is one next year.

We had the Taskmaster Advent Calendar and it was brilliant. Very well made and very high quality. The puzzles were fun and inventive. It made us laugh and scratch our heads at times too.
Can't wait till next year's one ! In fact I'd like one for every day of the year :)
