Where is Destination X filmed? All the mystery locations revealed so far and theories on the next stop
Destination X is the brand new BBC show that has got every talking - think: The Traitors meets Race Across the World. Hosted by Rob Byrdon, the new show sees 13 players aboard the X-bus with one key question: Where the X are they? With blacked-out windows, players must figure out their location based on limited clues. At the end of each episode, they place an X on the map. The closest players remain in the game, while the furthest player is eliminated. At the end of the series, one winner will bag a £100,000 prize. So far, two episodes of the show have aired and their locations have been revealed. Episode three will air on Wednesday 6th August, and viewers think they've already guessed the location. Here's everything you need to know. After much guessing, the location for episode one was revealed to be Paris. Lots of viewers guessed the French region of Alsace which many clues pointed to, and only one contestant, Dawn, successfully guessed Paris. After the contestants locked in their guesses, it was revealed that Deborah had put her X furthest away from their location. She was asked to step off the bus, where she immediately spotted the Eiffel Tower. At the start of the episode, the players flew from Baden-Baden, Germany to Alsace, then traveled north before ending up in Paris. Along the way, several clues were dropped - including a caricature of Kylian Mbappé (formerly of Paris Saint-Germain), a lookalike of Emily in Paris, classic French desserts, and a pun from Brydon, who said: "I fell in love" as a play on the word "Eiffel." At the end of episode two, Matterhorn, Switzerland was revealed to be Destination X. All the players successfully guessed Switzerland, but it was Dawn who had guessed the furthest away, opting for Lake Geneva. There was only a 5km difference between her and another player. After leaving Paris, the train drove through Dijon into Switzerland and then through Plage Des Pins in Yvonand. The players then headed to the Alps in the Swiss Italian border where many clues pointed to Switzerland and Matterhorn specifically. The Caution Highway Fault sign linked to CHF, which is the international code for the Swiss Franc and the +41 is the phone code for Switzerland. At the lake, the sign featured all four languages for Switzerland, and the sign spelled out the words Throne Mart - which when rearranged spelled Matterhorn. Additionally, the letters 'Terh' which Nick spotted (and didn't tell the others) are the middle letters of Matterhorn. Episode three is yet to air, but viewers are speculating that the players will be heading to Munich, Germany. In episodes one. several airports were shown on the departure board, including Charles de Gaulle Airport, Sion Airport in Switzerland, Salzburg Airport, Munich and more. Viewers believe this to be a dead giveaway, considering episodes one and two saw the contestants head to Paris and Matterhorn, which is right next to Sion. "Surely wouldn't be this obvious, right?" one viewer asked on X (formerly Twitter), as they suggested Munich for the next destination. Viewers will have to wait until the next episode for the destination to be revealed, but the it's adding up. Other potential spots include Pisa (PSA), Venice (VCE), and Trieste (TRS), which were all shown on the departure board. New episodes of Destination X air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
