The first season of the Canadian French-language television mystery music game show Qui sait chanter? premiered on Noovo on 13 September 2021. ^[1]

Gameplay

Format

According to original South Korean rules, the guest artist and contestant 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. ^[2]

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 a 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 $25,000 by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad.

Rounds

1. Playback (French: Relecture)
   Divided into two groups of three mystery singers, each of them have to perform a lip sync of their own. At the conclusion of performances, the contestant eliminates one mystery singer from each group.
2. Access code (French: Code d'accès)
   The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.
3. 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.
4. Interrogation (French: Interrogatoire)
   The guest artist and contestant may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
