The game show had two teams of friends separated by gender. The teams competed in different games that required mental and physical strength.

The winning team had a chance to prove the genuineness of their friendship by answering personal questions about each other in the game's final stage. According to TV SA, if a friend correctly answers the question, they will win a luxury vacation, but if they do not, they kiss the cruise trip goodbye.
