Six young Brits who have never travelled independently before and six older Brits who thought their globetrotting days were over are joining forces for a life-changing inter-generational treasure hunt as Channel 4 unveils Worlds Apart (w/t), a new reality competition where bridging the generation gap and paying attention to the world around you could win one pair a £50k fortune.
All-new Channel 4 reality competition Worlds Apart (w/t) introduces six pensioners to six Gen Z rookie travellers – some of whom have never left the UK – to compete as pairs in an extraordinary game of observation, 6,000 miles from home in Japan.
In a world where travel has become more about taking photos for social media than truly taking it all in, this five-part series challenges teammates to see the world differently, as their surroundings hold all the clues.
The pairs will solve clues that take them across Japan. Their inter-generational relationship holds the key to victory as the journey requires teamwork, adaptability, and perception. Travelling across the abundant Asian archipelago, they’ll have to use every resource at their disposal to stay in the game.
Will the youngsters manage to build a relationship with their pensioner partners as they tackle cultural challenges, decode cryptic clues and answer location-based questions together? At every stage of the journey the stakes get higher as the teams are eliminated one by one until just two pairs remain. Those two will reach the final location and compete to win a life-changing cash prize of £50,000.
