Gameplay

Format

According to original South Korean rules, the guest artist and contestants eliminate mystery singers at the end of each round, with the last remaining mystery singer ended up in a duet performance by one of the guest artists. ^[3]

If the last remaining mystery singer is good, the contestants win £10,000; this is also applied to the winning bad singer selected by them.

Rounds

1. Lip Sync
   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.
2. Unlock my Life
   The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package chronicling the daily lives by one of the mystery singers.
3. Home Truths
   The guest artist and contestants "tour" one of the remaining mystery singer's homes for clues (which may include red herrings) for 60 seconds.
4. Interrogation
   The guest artist and contestants must choose one mystery singer to question with. The host is given a list of 15 questions shown on the screen and the artist can ask any of 15 questions within the 30 second time limit.
