Allt för Sverige (literally Everything for Sweden, marketed in the United States as The Great Swedish Adventure) is a Swedish reality show based on the original Norwegian format The Great Norway Adventure, also called Alt for Norge. The first season of Allt för Sverige was shown on Sveriges Television SVT1 from 30 October 2011 to 18 December 2011. The series is about Swedish Americans who return to their Swedish roots. In the program, they give the participants more information about their families but in each episode one in the group must leave the show and therefore find out less about their ancestry.

The host of the program is Anders Lundin.

Winner: Brian Gerard

In the eighth and final episode, filmed on the island of Utö and broadcast December 18, 2011, the Kentucky preacher Brian Gerard, New York City designer Guy Clark, Colorado student Kirstin Highfield and Florida police officer Shastin Corona participated in the final. Kirstin and Shastin ended up at 3rd and 4th place respectively, leaving Brian and Guy competing for 1st place. In the end it was Brian who won by less than 10 seconds in the final. Brian got to meet the Swedish part of his family at the end of the last show.

Season two began airing on 28 October 2012 at 8:00 PM on SVT1.

Winner: Anna Brita Östman Mohr won the show and met her relatives from the High Coast valley in central Sweden.

The third season of Allt För Sverige was filmed during the month of June 2013, and was broadcast in Sweden during the autumn of 2013.

The winner of Allt för Sverige season 3 was Lori Ferguson, who met her relatives from Skåne in southern Sweden.

Season four was filmed over summer 2014.

The winner of season four was John Olson who met 120 relatives in Trollhättan, Västergötland. Katie Malik, George Strid and Courtney Schlagel came in 2nd, 3rd and 4th places, respectively.

In the Christmas special four Americans from previous seasons visit the town of Gällivare in northern Sweden in winter, but without having to compete for a single prize. Guy Clark (Season 1), Rebecca Redner (Season 3), Katie Malik (Season 4), and Nick Jones (Season 4) are able to meet with Swedish relatives as well as sample Swedish Christmas traditions. Anders Lundin hosts.
