Game rounds

Normal game rounds

In a normal game round, three candidates claim to be a specific person. Each member of the four-person advice team has 45 seconds to ask all three candidates one after the other technical or personal questions. The order of the survey is reversed from round to round. After all surveys have been completed, there is a brief summary of the various answers. Then each member has to give a tip about who is really the person they are looking for. Then the puzzle is solved.

In these normal game rounds, it is common for male candidates to appear in one round and female candidates in the other. Occasionally, however, men and women can appear in a round.

Last game round

In the last round of the game, the four people who lied before appear again. One of them has a special quality, a special hobby, a special job etc. and talks about it. The other three tell a fictitious story. One of the liars sits across from each of the guessing team and after 30 seconds it has to be decided whether the other person is the right one or not. Then the puzzle is solved.
