The first season of the Russian television mystery music game show Catch Me If You Can premiered on Rossiya-1 on 24 May 2024.
VGTRK was supposedly announced to revive Ya vizhu tvoy golos into renewing a second season, according to a post from Andy Goldred as part of upcoming programmes for the 2024–25 television season dated back January 2024, but subsequently opted to produce their own "breakaway" game show without the involvement of CJ ENM and/or Fremantle, which is considered to be a domestic response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Due to the former "breakaway" programme implementing its own "invasion format" (a variation of the "battle format" that resembles from Giọng ải giọng ai),Giọng ải giọng ai as well as its direct relation to the original counterpart Ya vizhu tvoy golos,Ya vizhu tvoy golos of which are both included in the existing I Can See Your Voice franchise,Catch Me If You Can recognition this season is counted as first for a unofficial adaptation and second overall for the Russian franchise.
Gameplay The game is played in two phases, featuring two opposing teams — a team of four guest artists (known as "stars") and a team of mystery singers performing in batches (known as "invaders").
Rounds Lip sync phase Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a backing track by another vocalist. After the "stage of truth" performances, they are now allowed to talk freely.
If the guest artists guessed the mystery singer right, they get points depending on batch, otherwise the mystery singers did the same points have if they guessed wrong.
Dark horse A "surprise" mystery singer dubbed the "dark horse" () is appeared on the "stage of truth"; the highest-scoring team or both of two (if the game ends in a tie) would have do the same mechanic as the lip sync solo phase. The winning team is determined on two different conclusions: If either guest artists or mystery singers guessed the "dark horse" right, they win ; if either guessed them wrong, their money is given to the opposing team instead. As for the mystery singers, that same money is distributed into 18 players, with ≈ each. If both teams guessed the "dark horse" right, that same money is split and would receive each, with ≈ per player on the mystery singers' side.
