01
Waypoint drops
Teams receive limited information, then decide how to approach the next destination using observation, timing, and communication.
Now casting teams of two
Every choice leads somewhere.
Waypoint is a new travel-competition format in development, built around trust, navigation, improvisation, and split-second decision making across Southern California.
Series concept
A road-tested relationship format.
In Waypoint, two-person teams move through a day of changing destinations, on-the-ground tasks, hidden checkpoints, and time-sensitive choices. Success depends on communication, instinct, and the ability to stay aligned when the route stops going according to plan.
Rather than focusing on spectacle alone, the series is designed to reveal how pairs think, pivot, and trust each other under pressure. The result is part road trip, part competition, and part relationship experiment.
How it works
Built for chemistry, not just speed.
02
Real-world challenges
Every route includes practical and unexpected assignments that test memory, teamwork, flexibility, and calm under pressure.
03
Choice-driven outcomes
Not every clue points the same direction. Some decisions create shortcuts, while others reveal new detours, delays, or opportunities.
04
On-camera authenticity
The strongest teams are not performing. They are naturally funny, resilient, decisive, and genuinely compelling to watch together.
Casting criteria
Who we’re looking for.
Teams of two
Couples, close friends, siblings, family members, or coworkers with a clear dynamic and strong interpersonal chemistry.
Comfortable on camera
You do not need professional experience, but you should be expressive, present, and able to think out loud in the moment.
Open to movement
Applicants should be excited by driving, changing plans, solving small problems, and adapting quickly throughout a full day in the field.
Local availability
Priority will be given to applicants based in or able to travel to Southern California for an in-person casting experience.
Route profile
Southern California as the game board.
San Diego County
Opening instructions, chemistry interviews, and the first directional choices begin in a coastal or urban checkpoint setting.
Northbound transition
Teams navigate changing environments as the route shifts through beach towns, inland detours, and clue-based stops.
Orange County challenge window
Later segments are designed to raise stakes through timing, communication, and competing interpretations of limited information.
Final reveal destination
The final waypoint rewards teamwork, commitment, and the ability to stay aligned when every earlier choice starts to matter.
