Rob Brydon's Mystery Bus Ride: Destination X Brings Puzzling Fun
So, if you're into reality shows that mix brain-teasing puzzles with high-stakes competition and a bit of travel mystery thrown in, Destination X might be your next obsession. And guess who’s hosting it? Rob Brydon—yes, that Rob Brydon, the charming Welsh funnyman from Gavin & Stacey and Would I Lie to You?
Now, this isn’t your typical competition show. Imagine this: a bunch of contestants are shoved onto a bus with completely blacked-out windows. No clue where they’re going, no GPS, and absolutely no view of the outside world. They’re driven across Europe, but their only mission? To figure out exactly where they are—literally. That’s the game.

At the end of each episode, every contestant must place an X on a giant map, marking where they think they might be. If your guess is way off? Well, your journey ends right there. It’s like The Traitors meets Race Across the World , but with a heavy dose of disorientation—and a £100,000 prize at stake.
Rob Brydon himself admits he’s never done a TV show of this scale before. He said what drew him in was the mix of strategy, teamwork, and sheer guesswork. It’s a format adapted from a hit Belgian series, and let’s be honest, it sounds like the kind of bonkers concept that could really take off here too.
But that’s not all—there’s a way for viewers to get in on the action. The BBC launched an interactive Destination X online game that lets fans at home play along in real time or catch up later. Each week, you can test your geography chops with mini-games, identify European landmarks, and earn clues just like the contestants. If you're accurate enough, you’ll earn virtual badges—and bragging rights, obviously.
The series kicked off with a dramatic twist: contestants were blindfolded, loaded into a helicopter for a wild ride, then transferred to the mystery bus. From that moment on, it’s a blur of cryptic clues, sneaky challenges, and nail-biting eliminations.
It might not grip you in the intense way The Traitors does, and Rob’s wardrobe may have raised some eyebrows, but Destination X offers something delightfully different. It’s a guessing game on wheels, and even if you’re just watching from the couch, the fun lies in shouting out your own predictions before the contestants do. Just don’t be surprised if you end up downloading the game and testing yourself—you might be better at it than you think.
