Gameplay
Format
Presented with a group of "mystery singers",[a] the guest artist(s) must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the selection without ever hearing them perform live, over the course of four rounds. They are also assisted with clues regarding singers' backgrounds, style of performance, and observations from a celebrity panel. At the end of a game, 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.
For its third 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.[7][8]
The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets a cash prize[a] and will have to perform again at the encore concert.
