Comedy game show Taskmaster is about to begin its 17th series later this week, and I shudder to think how many people have pitched the idea of Tasks to Little Alex Horne over the years. The number must be in the thousands. I'm sure every Taskmaster fan has at least a few good ideas for tasks in their head, even if they've never tried to delegate them directly to Mr. Horn.
The good news is that if you've ever wanted to create a Taskmaster task and then grill your family and friends on how well they completed it, you'll eventually get the chance.Taskmaster VR announces creative mode that lets you become Taskmaster's assistant assistant-So in addition to completing Sir Greg Davis' tasks in Taskmaster VR, you can also invent your own.
“With access to a variety of classic Taskmaster items, players can build custom tasks, brand new scenarios, or just mess things up,” said developer Scallywag Arcade. “Once a player creates a task, he or she can challenge friends and family to complete it in local play.”
The Creative Mode trailer above shows Alex's trusty tablet in the player's hands, with all sorts of familiar items to build custom tasks, including rubber ducks, puppets, vegetables, bongo drums, and eggs. items are available for free use. You can also leave your tablet behind to open the shed door or step into your caravan. There you will find many more physical objects that you can use, such as bowling pins, beach balls, wooden stands, musical instruments, and more. I'm sure you'll find some Easter eggs from the show as well. That pot in the kitchen that says “Mike's Absolute Casserole”? I'm, um, going to be careful with that.
For those of you unfamiliar with Taskmaster, it's about five comedians who perform tasks such as “get the farthest coconut possible,'' “throw something impressively at something,'' and “At the Taskmaster Hotel.'' It's a show where you're given silly tasks like, “Provide the best service to your guests.'' . ” Looking for something related to your interests? In series seven, contestants had to physically recreate classic video games. The task is then judged by the chaotic Greg Davis, who commands him, and the winner gets to take home a gold trophy on Greg's head.
The show has been extremely popular over the years, with versions now being shown all over the world, including Sweden, Spain, Finland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. I fell in love with the show during the pandemic thanks to many episodes of the series being available on YouTube. He's now one of my favorite shows. I haven't been wearing my VR headset much lately, but this one has me ready to dust it off and step into the studio.
“The opportunity to set your own tasks is something our community is crying out for,” says Niall Taylor, Head of Games at Scallywag Arcade. “We were inspired by watching fans attend Taskmaster parties at home, and we wanted to bring that same spirit to his VR.”
