Gameplay
Summarize
Perspective
Format
Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers" that identified only by their alias, two opposing guest artists must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the selection without ever hearing them perform live, over the course of three rounds. They are also both assisted with clues regarding singers' backgrounds, style of performance, and observations from a celebrity panel. At the end of a game, the last remaining mystery singers are revealed as either good or bad by means of duets between them and one of the guest artists.[6][7]
Under the "battle format", two opposing guest artists eliminate one singer each during the proper game phase, and then remain one singer each to join the final performance. At the end of a game, the following conditions for winning mystery singers chosen by opposing guest artists, depending on the outcome of final performances, if:
- One opposing guest artist has revealed as a good singer and the other one has a bad singer, or
- Both two opposing guest artists have revealed as good or bad singers.
The guest artists and winning mystery singers are rewarded on following conditions:
- If the last remaining mystery singer is good, the guest artist wins Đ50,000,000; in case of a tie, the same prize money is split, receiving Đ25,000,000 each. Both winning mystery singers, regardless of being good or bad, get Đ10,000,000 each.
- For the fifth season, the eliminated good singer gets a consolation prize of Đ2,000,000.
Rounds
Visual round
- s1–5: The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.
Lip sync round
- s1–5: Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a backing track by another vocalist.
Interrogation round
- s1, 3–5: The guest artist may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
Talent round
- s2: The guest artist must describe one of the mystery singer's other talents, except "singing" itself. This may not be related to the "stage of truth", but depends on their identity.
