Destination X is a road traveling competition series based on a Belgian format called Bestemming X (Destination X) where Europe is turned into a real-life gameboard as complete strangers are invited to participate in the trip of a lifetime and the ultimate geo-guessing contest. These adventurous players will traverse each country on a blacked-out "Destination X" bus with the goal of figuring out where the "X" they are each week.

Premise[]

In each episode, the players disembark the bus to visit unique and unfamiliar tourist attraction that have been gamified into experiential challenges. They will need to rely on their knowledge of pop culture, history, geography and observational skills in order to win clues to their current location and earn an all-important advantage. Contestants must tap into their own personal expertise, identify hidden clues that are disguised as artifacts and discern intentional misdirects from competitors to ultimately determine their whereabouts.

International Versions[]

As mentioned above, the original version called Bestemming X hosted by Kevin Jansens (S1, S2 episode 1 + special) then Aster Nzeyimana (S2) airs on VTM since 2023.
A Netherlands version also called Bestemming X hosted by Nasrdin Dchar airs on RTL 4 since 2024.
