The show was split into legs, with teams tasked to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and travel by air, boat, car, taxi, and other modes of transport.
The show was hosted by Rony Curvelo and independently produced and aired in a purchased time slot in the Brazilian television network RedeTV!.
Notably, in Leg 6, while driving to the Pit Stop, Andréa & Luciana were held up at gunpoint by three men at a stoplight in Fortaleza.
The team did not lose anything, but the criminals took the camera and all personal documents from the crew, and ran off as gunshots were fired by the police.
