The Belgian reality game show described, featuring ten unknown Flemish individuals navigating mysterious yellow boxes and unfamiliar challenges for a €15,000 prize, is titled "De Box". This new series premiered in 2026 on the Flemish television channel VTM.

"De Box" puts contestants in a truly unique situation, as each participant begins locked inside their own enigmatic yellow container. The core premise of the show revolves around the fact that contestants are given no instructions; they must deduce the rules and objectives of each challenge themselves as their box opens to reveal new, often absurd, scenarios. This emphasis on instinct, adaptability, and quick thinking is central to the game, as contestants must figure out their purpose in various unexpected locations and situations.

The show was created by Aleksander Herresthal of Norwegian company Seefood TV and was initially presented at the MIPCOM trade show in Cannes. While other international versions of "The Box" exist, the VTM adaptation is notable for featuring unknown Flemish individuals, contrasting with some celebrity versions. The ultimate goal for the contestants is to be the last person standing after eight episodes, securing the grand prize of €15,000.
