The first season of the Bulgarian television mystery music game show Peesh ili luzhesh premiered on Nova on 3 November 2016. ^[3]

Gameplay

Format

According to the original South Korean rules, the guest artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers during its game phase. At the final performance, 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. ^[b]

The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets 3,000 лв and will have to perform again at the encore concert.

Rounds

1. First impression (Bulgarian: Първо впечатление)
   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.
2. Occupation (Bulgarian: Професия)
   The guest artist must describe one of the mystery singer's other talents, except "singing" itself. It may unrelated to the stage of truth, but it depends on their identity.
3. Lip sync (Bulgarian: Синхронизация на устните)
   • 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. ^[b]
   • Each mystery singer performs a lip sync on stage and studio sections through split screen. ^[b]
4. Interrogation (Bulgarian: Разпит)
   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.
