# Ma näen su häält

Ma näen su häält (English: I Can See Your Voice) is an Estonian television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean programme of the same title. It premiered on Kanal 2 on 27 February 2022, and has aired for four seasons.

## Gameplay
### Format

Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers", a guest artist and a group of two contestants 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.
If the last remaining mystery singer is good, the contestants win a cash prize; this is also applied to the winning bad singer selected by them.

### Rounds
#### Visual round

* First impression (Estonian: Esimene mulje)
    s1–3: The guest artist and contestants are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.

#### Lip sync round

* Moving the mouth (Estonian: Suu liigutamine)
    s1–3: 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.

#### Evidence round

* Home video (Estonian: Koduvideo)
    s1–3: The guest artist and contestants are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.

#### Interrogation round

* Cross-examination (Estonian: Ristküsitlus)
    s1–3: The guest artist and contestants may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
