Hosted by "game master" Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Destination X challenges contestants to try to figure out their mystery locations by competing in challenges designed to offer clues. However, there will also be a few "misdirects" to keep the players guessing.
"In each episode, players are immersed in extraordinary destinations where iconic landmarks, local culture and tourist attractions are transformed into experiential challenges," NBC explained.
"To uncover their location and gain an edge in the competition, contestants must rely on their knowledge, powers of observation and problem-solving abilities. But discovering the right destination is only half the challenge."
The contestants must eat, sleep, and travel together on the bus, allowing alliances and rivalries to form.
At the end of each episode, the contestant who places an X on a map farthest from his or her actual location will be eliminated from the journey.
The first person to reach Jeffrey at the final Destination X location will be crowned the winner and receive a $250,000 grand prize.
NBC announced it had ordered a second season of Destination X in early March.
