The live formats
There are five live formats — Cast, Arena, Match Show, Blind Live and Challenge — and each one runs by its own rules; it is not the same show under different names.
Why five and not one
A Blind Live hides faces until the reveal. An Arena has a host who opens the stage. A Challenge gathers people before an episode even exists. They are different products behind the same door, and the difference is in the rules, not in the decoration.
The list of five is closed and lives in a single place in the code. A format that shows up for you is one of these five; no screen invents a sixth.
What each one does
- Cast — a hosted experience, with applications, green room, stage, audience and post-live continuity.
- Arena — a dynamic room: participants join the stage, interact and can be promoted by the host.
- Match Show — live conversations that end in a crossed decision and a debrief.
- Blind Live — connection begins through presence, interests and conversation; the reveal unfolds in consent-led phases.
- Challenge — someone proposes a challenge, a window opens, people sign up, the audience backs them and the proposer selects.
What holds for all of them
Entering any format requires an account: the live screens sit behind login, the audience ones included.
No format ranks people by popularity and none publishes a verdict about anyone. Where there is a selection, it belongs to the organizer and is announced to everyone at the same time.
