We’ve partnered with TV’s Taskmaster to set you silly challenges as you explore. Collect your Taskmaster score card and complete your tasks. There might be a rubber duck or two to spot on the way too. When you reach the finishing zone, celebrate your silliness with some selfie shots, and collect a little reward of all your hard work.
