======================================================================

 Taskmaster , the hit comedy game show, is getting a VR spin-off game for 
Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 in 2024. 

Published by Scallywag Arcade, a Draw & Code studio, and made in partnership 
with Avalon (the production company behind the TV series), Taskmaster VR 
gives players the chance to test themselves against the show's many 
challenges through their virtual reality headset. 

Stepping into the shoes of a contestant, players will experience the 
creativity of the show alongside Meta's virtual reality technology and be let 
loose in the Taskmaster House with the goal to claim the golden head trophy 
and call themselves Taskmaster Champion. 

"The world of Taskmaster is perfect for VR said Niall Taylor, head of games 
at Scallywag Arcade, teasing an "immersive" experience which combines "the 
hilarity of the show with the freedom of virtual reality." 

The Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies, said: "The team have done an incredible 
job and the game is a really exciting addition to the Taskmaster world.On a 
personal note, the creation of a virtual reality Taskmaster takes me ever 
closer to my ultimate goal of working without even leaving my sofa." 

Scallywag says that Taskmaster VR will offer fans and gamers alike an 
"immersive opportunity" to engage with the show's features and its stars in a 
new way, with Davies and Alex Horne, the shows creator and the Taskmasters 
assistant, along for the fully voice acted experience. 

"Genuinely, this is extraordinary, brilliant and very fun," said Horne. 
"Also, I've always wanted to be a contestant on Taskmaster so this is great 
for me as a VR user, except that I will also have my virtual self watching my 
attempts and undermining my confidence so I may well regret the whole venture 
after I've had a go."
