Catch Me If You Can (game show)

Catch Me If You Can (Поймай меня, если сможешь) is a Russian television mystery music game show modelled on Ya vizhu tvoy golos, 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.

Format
Played by a team of "stars" (consisting of four celebrity panelists also assigning as guest artists), the "invader(s)" (consisting of 18 mystery singers summoned in batches) must attempt to convince guest artists by performing a lip sync of their own over the course of first three rounds. If the guest artists guessed the mystery singer right, they scored one to three points (depending on round), otherwise the "invaders" score the same points if they guessed wrong.

At the final round, the highest-scoring team has deliberated to guess whether a "surprise" mystery singer is good or bad. If a team of guest artists or "invaders" guessed the "surprise" mystery singer right, they won ₽1,000,000; if either guessed wrong, the main prize is given to opposing team instead.

Rounds
Throughout the game, all of mystery singers who have already summoned are now allowed to talk freely at the conclusion of performances.


 * Notes

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 (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.
