However, their windows are blacked out and they have to guess where they are travelling as they are given various clues and peeks along the way.
They are challenged to find out the answer to one simple question; where in the world are they?
On each episode, the player who places their ‘X’ in a location that is the furthest from where they are actually located gets eliminated.
The last contestant standing wins a life changing jackpot prize of £100,000, meaning alliances and rivalries are built over the course of the competition.
In the most recent episode on BBC One, the contestants were split into two groups as they travelled up a mountain via corresponding cable cars.
However, the transportation ‘broke down’ midway through the route, leaving the players confused.
The teams would then compete in a physical challenge to try and win the game, as the winning team will carry on up to the top of the mountain where a clue would be waiting.
As part of the ‘rescue’ themed task, the first clue is underneath the exterior of the cabin.
Meaning, one player from each team would have to strap themselves into a harness.
They would then be left to climb out from the bottom of the cable car, as they are left effectively stranded 2000 feet in the air as the other contestants watch from inside.
But many Destination X viewers were distracted by the logistics of the task itself as they were worried about the safety of each contributor.
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – as no safety experts appeared on camera, one fan enquired: “Do they have a safety team inside the cable car who knows about climbing and knots and stuff?”
A second asked: “Wtf how is this allowed? Complete amateurs on the ropes.”
