If you were sent back in time, could you survive and thrive
— or would you be burnt at the stake for being a witch?
Welcome to PastMaster, the show that turns history into an interactive adventure game. Each episode, hosts Ryan and Tan are joined by a special guest comedian who is sent back in time with nothing but their modern knowledge and the shirt on their back.
Under the guidance of a benevolent robot Game Master, they navigate to a different era each episode and find out if they’ve got what it takes to reshape the past.
Will it be historically accurate? Will any of it make sense? Will they master the past?
Tune in to find out.
