From the Devs
Submit to the judgement of The Taskmaster in glorious virtual reality! The hit TV show comes to VR and YOU are the contestant. Step into the world of Taskmaster, endeavour to complete a menagerie of challenging and extraordinary tasks and get creative in how you solve them.
The premise of Taskmaster VR is simple - complete tasks and impress The Taskmaster. Sound easy? Well, it never, ever is. These tasks are taxing and The Taskmaster is not known for being lenient
Mastering tasks requires skill, patience, precision and grace. And if all that fails, maybe just throwing things around and hoping for the best will work out! Just get it done within the time limit and use the plethora of ordinary and not-so-ordinary items at your disposal - Taskmaster VR features more stuff, gubbins and thingamajigs than you can shake a rubber duck at.
There is no single solution to a task, and thinking outside of the box is encouraged - there are many ways to succeed and even more ways to fail. Either way, the outcome is always hilarious. You can use whatever comes to hand to do whatever you want, just don’t blame us if you make a fool of yourself in the process.
The Taskmaster House may look like a welcoming and unassuming British locale, but don’t be fooled - this humble home is a colosseum of foolhardy pursuits and a theatre of broken dreams. The lab, the kitchen, the caravan, the garden - it’s all here. It’s the quintessential British home subverted to become the ultimate playground.
The Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies, and his long suffering assistant Little Alex Horne will have more than a few things to say about your efforts in a fully voice acted performance from the deadpan duo. Succeed at your tasks and you may conjure up a compliment, fail and you can expect (completely justified) withering scorn.
Becoming the series champion is clearly the apex of human achievement - winners are rewarded with a tremendous trophy depicting The Taskmaster in a fetching shade of not-quite-gold!
Winning isn’t everything - your score reflects your individual journey, and even low scores contribute to your story, and your self expression! Completely fluffing a task will result in unique jokes and dialogue from Greg and Alex - you’ll get to see things that the overachievers of this world never will.
Your journey into the world of Taskmaster doesn’t end when you lift that shiny golden bonce - Creative Mode lets you slip into Alex and Greg’s shiny shoes and create your own tasks!
Wielding hundreds of oddball objects and an arsenal of useful tools, you can get creative and let your inner Alex shine - perfect for challenging your friends in local play.
