# Peesh ili luzhesh

Peesh ili luzhesh (Bulgarian: Пееш или лъжеш; English: Are you singing or lying?) is a Bulgarian television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on Nova on 3 November 2016, and has aired for two seasons.

## Gameplay
### Format

Presented with a group of "mystery singers", a guest artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of four rounds. 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.
The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets a cash prize and will have to perform again at the encore concert.

### Rounds
#### Visual round

* First impression (Bulgarian: Първо впечатление)
    s1–2: The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.

#### Introduction round

* Introduction (Bulgarian: Представяне)
    s2: Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie.

#### Talent round

* Occupation (Bulgarian: Професия)
    s1: The guest artist must describe one of the mystery singer's other talents, except "singing" itself. It may unrelated to the stage of truth, but it depends on their identity.

#### Lip sync rounds

* Lip sync (Bulgarian: Синхронизация на устните)
** s1–2: 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.
** s1: Each mystery singer performs a lip sync on stage and studio sections through split screen.

#### Interrogation round

* 100 seconds (Bulgarian: 100 секунди)
    s1–2: The guest artist may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
