How does the BBC's new gameshow Destination X work and what do you win?

Rob Brydon is launching an exciting new BBC gameshow that turns Europe into a giant board game.

Destination X sees 13 strangers compete to be crowned champion, as they set off on the journey of a lifetime.

The ten-part series, which debuts on the BBC on Wednesday, July 30, combines The Traitors with Race Across The World. Contestants are whisked around the continent with no clue of their location or destination as they attempt to uncover the truth amongst the hints, deception, and falsehoods they encounter.

"It's the adventure of a lifetime, with one simple question at its heart: where in the world am I? Rob Brydon masterminds the high-stakes competition where nothing is as it seems...," the synopsis reveals.

Discussing the magnitude of the big-budget programme, which was filmed over 32 days and required 190 crew members to use 7,000 hotel rooms across 30 hotels as they journeyed 11,000 km through Europe with more than 40 vehicles, Rob said it was unlike anything he'd experienced previously, reports Wales Online.

He revealed: "I love the thought of the scale of it, because I've never done anything in television with that scale. We go all over Europe to some fantastic places, so the appeal was working on a show of that scale."

"We had the chance to turn Europe into a board game, so we immediately thought that the way we bring scale to the challenges is we just get incredible locations and we take over whole castles, we run a train on a public network, we take over cable car systems, the scale just goes up and up and it's like, actually, what fun can we have with those toys?" executive producer Dan Adamson added.

How does Destination X work?

Destination X takes 13 strangers and puts them in a totally unknown location. Their senses are jumbled, and they're deprived of access to the outside world while being transported on a coach.

Deprived of any access to reality, including how far they've travelled and what country they're in, the contestants are travelling through Europe, reaching stops where they're given a series of clues and red herrings to see if they can correctly guess where they are.

Some of those stops involve the players being able to explore an unknown location somewhere, looking for clues, whilst others restrict them to just peeks through a small window, with the hints set up by producers.

At the end of each day, they individually put an 'X' on a map to indicate their guess, with the one furthest away from where they are being eliminated.

The last person remaining, the one who is closest in guessing their location, wins a prize.

What do you win?

The players are battling it out to win £100,000, with one making it to the end after 10 episodes and being the closest to guessing their location.

Included in the line-up for the show's first season are a pilot, a taxi driver, an endurance athlete, a crime writer, a retired detective sergeant and a content creator.

Talking about his role in the game, Rob added: "I wanted to dissolve the tension and I always wanted to encourage them, it's £100,000 and this would be a lovely thing for someone to win."

Destination X will air on BBC One and iPlayer, beginning on Wednesday, July 30 at 9pm, with two episodes dropping each week.
