# Queendom Puzzle

Queendom Puzzle (Korean: 퀸덤 퍼즐) is a 2023 South Korean reality competition show created by Mnet. It premiered on Mnet on June 13, 2023, airing every Tuesday at 22:00 KST. The show concluded on August 15, 2023.
The show serves as a spin-off series of Queendom, however it does not share a similar format with the previous seasons, only taking the name of the series.

## Concept and format

On January 26, 2023, it was announced that the Queendom series would have a third season, but would be different from the previous two seasons.
The show will focus on forming a global project girl group by taking members from currently active girl groups as well as solo female artists and piecing them together like a puzzle. It will take on a completely new format from the pre-existing Queendom series, with individual competitions taking place rather than team competition.
Out of the initial 28 contestants, they will compete through performances to finally become a 7-member supergroup, El7z Up (Korean: 엘즈업; RR: eljeueop).

## Promotion and broadcast

On April 10, 2023, Mnet released the first teaser video on their YouTube channel. In the teaser, iconic girl group songs play in the background as well as the silhouettes of seven female celebrities are shown. Along with the confirmation that the first lineup will be revealed in May, the teaser includes the mysterious code on the bottom, "IURP WZHQWB HLJKW WR VHYHQ", which deciphers "from twenty-eight to seven".

Each song would consist of 2 teams: "PICK" and "DROP". After the contestants choose, in the Puzzle Room, Jiwon would form the 2 teams for "Charismatic", while Bora would form the 2 teams for "Snap".

* There would be 1 MVP for the winning team of each song, based on the selection of the expert panel. The selected MVPs would have the right to arrange the teams for the next round.

* The MVPs of the previous round, Nana and Hwiseo, have the right to form all 6 teams, with both of them having the right to choose the song they want to re-create first. After that, the contestants of the winning teams would be distributed, then followed by the contestants of the losing teams. After the puzzling, only members from the winning teams of the previous round ("PICK on the top" & "Athena") can raise objections on the song they are assigned to. Then, the 2 MVPs (Nana and Hwiseo) can decide whether to make the change or not.
* After each performance, 300 on-site audience would evaluate it, and the score would be revealed immediately after voting ended.
