Once they're on the blacked-out Destination X bus, the journey turns into a real-life game board, with challenges designed to offer clues as to their location, along with a few misdirects to keep them guessing.

The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game.
