Seven celebrities, each an expert in a subject, are span around on a mechanical wheel, and the one who it lands on helps the contestant with the question. The contestant who answers the last question of the night advances to the final.

Celebrity guests on the first episode were Adriana Abenia, Adriana Torrebejano, Antonio Resines, Boris Izaguirre, Lorena Castell, and Pepe Reina.
