An interactive adventure into the benefits system
BENEFITS QUEST is a hybrid of video gaming and interactive theatre which challenges its audiences to take on one of the world’s most dangerous and treacherous environments – HIS MAJESTY’S BENEFITS SYSTEM.
This anarchic comedy satire will ask its players to guide their chosen hero through a range of obstacles, choosing difficulty levels ranging from UNEMPLOYED GRADUATE, to SINGLE MOTHER, to ASYLUM SEEKER.
Struggling to survive, we’ll have to manage our health, money and stress alongside our heroes’ differing needs of childcare, invisible disabilities, and navigating life in an asylum hotel.
Go forth, Brave Hero. It’s time to take on… A BENEFITS QUEST!
