Up for a challenge? A brand new adventure reality competition 'Destination X' is coming soon to the BBC and here's how you can make your mark.

Based on the award-winning, mind-bending Belgian-born series, the joint NBC show will combine 'adventure travel and immersive gameplay' similar to The Traitors and Race Across The World.

The 'larger-than-life adventure competition series' will merge fantasy with reality and follow contestants on their mysterious road trip, with no idea of their location, as they are immersed into a real-life board game. The first contestant to reach 'Destination X' (working title) will be the winner and is set to be on screens in the UK and US by 2025.

The BBC said: "If you love solving clues, playing detective and outsmarting your competition, then we want to hear from you. This experience promises to be an epic journey, with a chance to win a life-changing prize. Are you free in October-November 2024?"

Corie Henson, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Programming, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, teased: “Destination X is one of the most unique and innovative formats we’ve seen in a long time, and it’s so big we partnered with the BBC again to shoot two shows at once.

“This show is an epic international travel adventure combined with the ultimate guessing game. Even if you’ve never been on a plane, you can play along!”

Kate Phillips, Director of Unscripted at the BBC, said: "Following the huge success of The Traitors, we're really pleased to be partnering once again with NBC on this brilliant new format. The tender process was extremely competitive, but Twofour's innovative and creative vision for the show means that we know we have the perfect producers to take us on this exciting journey. We can't wait to get on board the Destination X bus and bring this exciting new show to a BBC audience."

Universal Television Alternative Studio president Toby Gorman added: "The only thing better than adapting a hit format like Destination X is doing it alongside the very best producing partners, and that's exactly what we have in Twofour.

"We're thrilled to bring NBC their first travel competition series and can't wait for audiences to tune in for this adventure. It's going to be a fun ride."
