Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of "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 several 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.[lower-alpha 1]

Rewards

The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving CA$4,000 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 for a chance to win CA$25,000 by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad. If the singer is bad, the contestant's winnings is given to the bad singer instead.

Rounds

  • Lip sync round
  • 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 by someone else.[lower-alpha 2]

A pair of mystery singers perform a lip sync of their own through a showdown to one song each.[lower-alpha 3]

  • Evidence round
  • Access code (French: Code d'accès)

The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package in which one of the mystery singers discusses their life and musical qualifications.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3]

  • Rehearsal round
  • Secret studio (French: Studio secret)

The guest artist and contestant are presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.[lower-alpha 2]
