Jim who hates to describe the show as a reality show says for him, it is a lifestyle and life coach journey.

The show will take them on a journey to places such as Cape Town, Dubai, Marrakech, Sydney, and Los Angeles amongst many others and unlike other reality shows that dwell on the ‘winner takes all’ process, the winner of ‘The Adventurer’ goes home with a cash prize of $10,000 while every other participant is guaranteed 300 thousand naira each for getting to the final stage of the show.

The show will air twice weekly via popular television stations like TVC Entertainment, Silverbird TV and AIT. With plans on having the show air on WAP-TV and Africa Magic, Jim plans to make sure that viewers on all platforms such as DSTv, Terrestrial, StarTimes or GoTV – will be able to access the show.
