Out in the garden, nestled amongst white picket fences, is where you’ll find the Taskmaster Caravan - a mundane staple of the British Staycation that has nevertheless been the staging ground of some truly extraordinary goings-on. Almost as well-known as the famous faces who pass through it, the caravan is hands-down the cutest space in the house - assuming you find the faint smell of mildew “cute” - and is a firm fan favourite. There was absolutely no way we were leaving it out.

In Taskmaster VR, however, the caravan presented us with a problem that wasn’t immediately apparent during our research trips to the House - caravans are small, tightly enclosed spaces, and this one in particular is filled with a lot of stuff. Given the field of view and spacial perception available on most VR headsets, we found that we had to limit player time in this space to avoid overwhelming feelings of claustrophobia, discomfort and ennui. This means that while our tasks make use of the caravan, you won’t be required to spend long periods of gameplay in a space that goes against our core accessibility pillars. More on those in the coming weeks!
This doesn’t mean that fans of the show won’t get to explore this iconic location however! The Caravan is one of the most detailed locations we’ve built, and is full of all kinds of cool things - from family photos of Greg and Alex, to alluring stuffed animals, to the ever-popular crochet puppets you met in [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NwH2dUBHEw]our reveal trailer.

The caravan is a lovely respite from the mess and stress of the house itself, giving players the opportunity to spend time in an entirely different stressful mess. It’s colourful, inviting and we can’t wait for you to explore it - just don’t bump your head on the way in, Alex hasn’t bothered to insure it for years.
