Over time, the missions become increasingly stranger, leading to weirder and wackier adventures. Completing tasks unlocks new areas of the town, and therefore new characters and new tasks.

Game Ratings for Thank Goodness You're Here! Video Game.
XboxEra: 8 / 10 by Jon Clarke
Overall, Thank Goodness You’re Here is an absolute gem of a game full of humanity and fun. Coal Supper really have done an excellent job capturing the heart and soul of the community of Barnsworth, and the game took me nostalgically back to TV I watched when I was young, whilst also making me laugh out loud from the start to the end. If you want something extremely silly, absurd and exceptionally well made to spend a couple of hours with, then you should definitely check it out.
Game Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Michael Leri
Thank Goodness You're Here is a wildly funny slapstick adventure.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Callum Marshall
Thank Goodness You're Here is a resounding triumph that showcases how comedy and gaming can thrive in perfect harmony. This ability to be at the heart of this interactive comedic experience enhances the belly laughs, the surreal silliness is a joy to behold, and the level design, ever-changing environment and exquisite animation all play their part as well. It's a title that captures the essence of small-town British life and then pushes the stereotypes to the nth degree to offer over-the-top characters and gags that will live long in the memory. It is an admittedly short experience, but it's one that serves as a blueprint for anyone who wants to create a game where humor is the USP.
