The rules of the game almost completely coincide with the rules of the Russian version of "What? Where? When?": teams of six people are playing at the game table. When choosing a question with a spinning top, the moderator reads it to the experts, and they, in turn, must prepare a clear answer in one minute. Sometimes the answer to a question may contain precise wording, meaning experts must explain why they answered the way they did, and often the moderator cannot accept a short answer, which leads to disputes between him and the expert team. Defenders of the interests of experts and viewers, as well as the Keeper of Traditions, help to resolve controversial issues. Experts may not discuss the issue, but give an early answer. If it turns out to be correct, the team earns an extra minute for discussion, which they can use on any of the issues (exceptions are "blitz", "superblitz", "sector 13" and in the decisive round). The game goes up to 6 points. If a team of experts loses, they can ask for 20-second "club help" once per game. If the viewers scored 5 points, the team can take a "minute on credit" to discuss the issue, and in the future will be obliged to repay it with an early answer to one of the following questions.
