# I Can See Your Voice (German game show) season 1

The first season of the German television mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice premiered on RTL as a two-night pilot episode on 18 and 19 August 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that immediately halted its production, this prematurely ended season had also a similar fate to the second season of the Philippine counterpart.

## Gameplay
### Format

According to original South Korean rules, the guest artist and contestant(s) 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.
If the last remaining mystery singer is good, the contestant wins €10,000; this is also applied to the winning bad singer selected by them.

### Rounds

* First impression (German: Erster Eindruck) The guest artist and contestant are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
* Lip sync (German: Das Playback) 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 recording by someone else.
* Fact or fake? (German: Fakt oder Fake?) The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.
* Cross-examination (German: Kreuzverhör) 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.
