Ultimate Escape

The 2025 Australian version of Ultimate Escape features a brand new structure, now with a series-long-arch:

Ten teams of 2 volunteers to take part in the ultimate search-and-rescue mission.

Each team faces the biggest endurance test of their lives as one of them is locked up in a secret location and one has to race against the clock to find their teammate ultimately testing their relationship and pushing them to their limits not just mentally but physically.

Those that free their partner in time, share in a cash prize. Starting only with a tracking device, a satellite phone and the clothes on their back, each rescuer has 24 hours to reach a rendezvous point to continue on their journey to find their teammate.

The original Finnish version of  Ultimate Escape has self-contained episodes:

There are only 24 Hours, 24 Clues and 24 Calls to release a celebrity from a locked container. A fearless and strong host is on a mission to conquer the most extreme conditions, face the toughest challenges and solve the hardest clues in order to save the celebrity from an unknown location. The celebrity locked in the container has access to information, clues and tips that will help the host find them. The clock is ticking. Will he make it?
