### Season 1 (2018)

* In episode 1 – 5, the challenger will randomly pick a set of questions, with Yoo giving the questions and Jo supporting the challenger. Each challenger will receive ₩1,000,000 after answering 5 questions correctly in a row and if it cannot be done, he/she will receive a token of appreciation from the staff. Each challenger can choose to use any of the help-seeking opportunities: (If any of the help-seeking opportunities is used in a question, it will not be available for the later questions)
** An acquaintance call;
** Discuss with Jo Se-ho;
** Discuss with the members of the public;
* In episode 6 – 12, the questions are divided into objective questions and subjective questions. The challenger must choose one type of question to answer.
** Objective questions - Each challenger will receive ₩1,000,000 if he/she can answer 3 questions correctly in a row.
** Subjective questions - Each challenger will receive ₩1,000,000 if he/she answer the question correctly.
Yoo and Jo will start their quizzing trip as early as 8:30 am and must stop by 6 pm as part of the "work-life balance" policy.
The show temporarily ended for the year due to the seasonal cold weather making the interview almost impossible for the casts and participants. The show will continue in 2019 once the weather has warmed up.

### Season 2 (2019)

The show returns with an upgrade to the quiz. The question bank consists of keyword cards, and the challenger chooses one to answer the card's question. If the challenger answers correctly he/she wins ₩1,000,000, and has the option to go for a second question or just stop and take the ₩1,000,000 that was won. If the challenger gets the second question correctly, the prize money doubles to ₩2,000,000, otherwise the prize money will immediately become zero. In addition, when the program's logo was found on the back of the keyword card that was picked, if the challenger answers that question correctly, he/she wins ₩1,000,000 and the show will donate ₩1,000,000 to a charity organisation under his/her name.
The show temporarily ended for the year and resumed on March 11, 2020.

### Season 3 & 4 (2020 - present)
#### 2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea, the show will be filmed indoors instead of on the streets, and guests would be invited instead of exploring the streets to find citizens. The show returns with Dearest Quiz, a new version of quiz in which one citizen connected through online, as question giver, asks the challenger a question, and if the challenger answers it correctly, both persons would get ₩1,000,000 each. If the challenger answers wrongly, both would get tokens of appreciation chosen by spinning the wheel. Citizens can apply as question givers on the show's homepage.
