The four hosts of Unseen standing in front of a wall of surveillance screens

A NoStrezz original format

Hidden camera challenge format

Unseen

Get close to the target. Complete the challenges. Whatever happens, stay unseen.

Four hosts are divided into two competing teams. In each episode, one team follows an unsuspecting celebrity target and attempts three increasingly daring challenges without being recognised. Throughout the episode, the target watches the footage and reacts alongside the viewers during the thrilling confrontation. Those reactions are woven into the story as the challenges unfold.

Unseen premiered on Ketnet and VRT MAX in Belgium in 2025. Following a Best Non Fiction nomination for its first season, the format returned for a second season in 2026. That same year, Unseen made its international debut with a Dutch adaptation produced by BNNVARA for NPO Zapp.

How it works

Three challenges.
One unsuspecting target.

Each challenge brings the team closer to the celebrity and raises the risk of being recognised. The scoring keeps every challenge clear, while the target’s reactions to the footage are woven throughout the episode.

  1. 01

    Take the challenge

    In each episode, one team is assigned a celebrity target and must complete three increasingly daring challenges without being recognised.

  2. 02

    Stay unseen

    Complete a challenge and earn one point. If the target spots the team, it loses two points. In each episode, the team can earn a boost that can double its points for that episode.

  3. 03

    Watch the target react

    Throughout the episode, the target watches the hidden camera footage and reacts alongside the viewers during the thrilling confrontation, giving the audience an ongoing perspective on what the target thinks and feels.
