What does your dream house look like? A big cinema room? Perhaps it has a pool? Or a croquet lawn, that would be nice. What about a lab space? We’re talking a stark, wipe-clean area that has an air of veterinary surgery about it. For The Taskmaster and his overworked assistant it is an essential - after all, tasking is often a filthy undertaking.
The Lab isn’t quite like other laboratories, although its premise is somewhat similar - experiment with interesting stuff and get messy. Expect to find the apparatus you need to complete the task at hand and four plastic sheeting-lined walls,where pretty much anything goes. In contrast to last week where we headed outside to show you the luscious green garden and its luscious green lawn, this is a more functional space and one that is only as colourful as the mess you make in there!
When reimagining the Taskmaster House for VR, sometimes we had to make small changes to make it work with gameplay - this hasn’t been the case with the Lab. It's a surprisingly roomy, completely empty space perfect for helping players focus on the important parts of the task, and we’ve kept everything except the slight smell of rotten milk that still permeates the air. Of course - just because a task starts in the lab, it doesn’t always mean you have to stay in there! Taskmaster is about thinking outside the box, and unless the task specifically prevents certain actions there is nothing stopping you going outside and grabbing the wheelie bin for whatever nefarious purposes you see fit!
