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

The first season of the American television mystery music game show I Can See Your Voice premiered on Fox on September 23, 2020.
For this season, only a pilot episode was completed before production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic; this was later resumed by Fox in August 2020 under implementing health and safety protocols, becoming one of the network's first non-scripted programs to do so.

## 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.
The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving $10,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of the game, if the contestant decides to walk away, they will keep the money had won in previous rounds; if they decide to risk for the last remaining mystery singer, they win $100,000 if a singer is good, or lose their all winnings if a singer is bad.

### Rounds

* Lip Sync Challenge Divided into two groups of three mystery singers, each of them have to perform a lip sync of their own. At the conclusion of performances, the contestant eliminates one mystery singer from each group.
* Unlock my Life The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers of their choice.
* Secret Studio The guest artist and contestant are presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers of their choice, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.
* Interrogation 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.
