"Wie is de Mol?" tells the story of 10 Dutch celebrities who make an adventurous journey through a country. The journey takes them through cities, along coastlines, through villages, mountains and other sceneries. During this trip, the group works together in various physical, strategic, cultural, active and sensational "assignments" to earn money for the pot. However, there is 1 saboteur in the middle, the mole, who is trying to keep money out of that pot. At the end of each episode, the 10 contestants take a test in which they can fill in who they think who the mole is. The person with the least number of good answers has to go home immediately. Along the journey the group becomes smaller and closer and ultimately, they are left with 3 people; the loser, the winner and the mole.
