In this adventure game show, a duo of celebrities must escape from a team of three prison guards, who have one goal: to catch the fugitives within four hours. The fugitive gets a 20-minute head start and wears a transmitter that sends a GPS coordinate to the hunters, every 10 minutes. While the hunting team is provided with various tools to track the fugitive from their spy-van, the fugitive has nothing: no phone and no cash. The fugitive wins the game if he manages to stay out of the hunters’ reach for exactly four hours. However, if the hunters catch the fugitive within that time slot, it’s game over.

The dynamics and the borders of the market are definitively changing.
