The third season of the Bulgarian television mystery music game show Peesh ili luzhesh premiered on Nova on 28 September 2025. ^{[8] [9]}

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. ^[c]

For this season, the Golden Switch (Bulgarian: Златен шалтер) can be used by panelists during the proper game phase to apply one randomly-selected mystery singer as an additional hint; the guest artist(s) could still eliminate that, even if they are revealed as good or bad. ^{[11] [12]}

The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets 5,000 лв (2558,60 €) 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.
2. Introduction (Bulgarian: Представяне)
   Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie.
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.
4. Look at my voice (Bulgarian: Виж гласът ми)
   A muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.
5. 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.
