Exclusive Insight with Alex Horne
To delve deeper into Taskmaster VR, we caught up with Alex Horne, the creator of the show and the Taskmaster’s assistant.
Elevator Pitch for Taskmaster
Alex Horne: “Taskmaster is a comedy show where five comedians perform seemingly mundane tasks to impress a giant comedian, who we call the Taskmaster. I create the tasks, and the comedians tackle them in isolation, often leading to hilarious or ingenious results. There’s no script, just pure improvisation and competition.”
The Logic Behind Comedians
AH: “Comedians are naturals at improvisation, making even the simplest tasks entertaining. Each series features five different comedians who bring their unique approaches to the tasks. We tell them not to try to be funny—they naturally are. It’s about authenticity and diverse problem-solving.”
Transitioning to VR
Adapting Taskmaster to VR is an exciting leap. According to Alex, VR is the perfect medium for this show. The interactive nature of VR allows players to engage hands-on with the tasks, much like the show’s contestants.
VR Gameplay Experience
In Taskmaster VR, you’ll read the tasks for the first time, start the clock, explore the house, open doors, and manipulate objects to solve puzzles. Unlike the TV show, VR tasks are quantifiable—measured by speed, height, and other tangible metrics. This approach keeps the game competitive and challenging.
Favorite VR Activities
AH: “I love escape rooms and layered multitasks. In Taskmaster VR, tasks can be complex and lengthy, involving multiple steps. For example, finding and feeding a dog in a locked garage requires problem-solving and exploration. Players can find their unique solutions—there’s no single way to solve a task.”
Alex Horne’s VR Experience
Though not an avid gamer, Alex found VR to be a valuable escape during lockdown. He enjoys games like Beat Saber and GOLF+, and appreciates the immersive experience VR offers. Taskmaster VR aims to recreate this sense of wonder and engagement.
Unique VR Advantages
Taskmaster VR offers freedom and creativity not possible in the TV show. You can explore rooms unrestricted by camera crews, weather conditions, or logistical constraints. The virtual world allows for playful interactions, like throwing virtual watermelons, without real-life consequences.
