# Catch Me If You Can (game show)

Catch Me If You Can (Russian: Поймай меня, если сможешь, romanized: Poymay menya, yesli smozhesh') is a Russian television mystery music game show inspired by the formats of both Ya vizhu tvoy golos and Giọng ải giọng ai, which is a breakaway counterpart and unofficial adaptation of the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on Rossiya-1 on 24 May 2024.

## Gameplay
### Format

A team of four celebrity guest artists (known as "stars") play a guessing game against the opposing team of mystery singers summoned in batches (known as "invaders"). After the lip sync performance(s), the guest artists are deliberated to predict whether the mystery singer is good or bad (for the first round), or to identify which one of them is bad (for the second and third rounds). If the guest artists guessed right, they are scored from one to three points depending on each round, otherwise the mystery singers did the same points if they guessed wrong.
For the final round, the highest-scoring team has deliberated to predict whether a "surprise" mystery singer is good or bad. If a team of guest artists or mystery singers guessed them right, they won 1,000,000 ₽; if either team guessed wrong, the main prize is given to opposing team instead.

### Rounds

Throughout the game, mystery singer(s) that have already summoned are now allowed to talk freely after the "revelation" performance(s).
* Lip sync phase The mystery singer(s) perform a lip sync of their own; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else. The first batch summons three mystery singers to perform a lip sync individually.For the second to fourth batch, a pair of mystery singers (six in total) perform a lip sync through a showdown, by donning on a specified occupation.For the fifth to seventh batch, a trio of mystery singers (nine in total) perform a lip sync, this time by impersonating a designated singer.
* Dark horse (Russian: Темная лошадка) A "surprise" mystery singer (dubbed the "dark horse"), is appeared on the "stage of truth" to interrogate on both teams of guest artists and mystery singers.

## Background

As part of CJ ENM's multiple licensing deals related to I Can See Your Voice with Fremantle dated back November 2020, Russian state-owned broadcaster VGTRK was one of them to acquire the rights for producing a local adaptation as Ya vizhu tvoy golos (Russian: Я вижу твой голос), which began airing on 14 May 2021. VGTRK was supposedly planned to renew for a second season, but it was later decided to continue the show anyway neither of those companies have involved, which is actually considered a domestic response to their invasion of Ukraine.
