Gameplay

Three contestants or couples attempt to outwit one another by answering questions to advance to the succeeding rounds.

In round one called Fact or Bluff, three players individually answer questions. The celebrity bluffers also referred to as gangnammmm will either help or trick the players by providing answers to the questions. The players have to decide whether their chosen bluffer's answer is a fact or a bluff. If answered correctly, the players get to keep the cash prize for that question otherwise the cash prize will be split between the opponents.

In round two "Word War", with the help of the clues given by the bluffer, the players will then race to solve each three word puzzles to advance to the final round. The first word is worth ₱5,000, the second word is ₱7,000 and the last word is ₱9,000. The player with the highest accumulated points moves on to the final round.

In its 12th season, they introduced a new segment, "Tough 10" on which the players should answer 10 questions only using Fact or Bluff. At the end, you should have at least 8 correct answers to proceed to win ₱500,000.
