Gameplay
Format
Presented with a group of six "mystery singers" identified only by their occupation, a guest artist and contestant must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of four rounds. At the end of the game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.[2]
Rewards
The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving CA$3,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of the game, the contestant may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it if they believe that the last remaining mystery singer is a good singer. If the singer is good, the contestant wins CA$25,000; if the singer is bad, the contestant loses all of their winnings.
Rounds
Each episode presents the guest artist and contestant six people whose identities and singing voices are kept concealed until they are eliminated to perform on the "stage of truth" or remain in the end to perform the final duet.
- Lip sync (French: Relecture)
Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers mime to a recording of their own performance, while bad singers mime to a recording of someone's else. - Access code (French: Code d'accès)
The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video clue package in which one of the mystery singers discusses their life and musical qualifications. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie to deceive them. - Secret studio (French: Studio secret)
The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video recording from a studio session on each mystery singer, although the audio is distorted so they cannot clearly hear their vocals. - Interrogation (French: Interrogatoire)
The guest artist and contestant can converse and ask questions of one of the remaining mystery singers. As before, good singers must answer truthfully, while bad singers might lie.
