Graphics

  • May 20, 2008 - Late Sep 2014: The game moved to the new version with a more modern blue questionnaire interface than the previous black one. This interface appeared for the first time in the Australian version of the show (when not upgraded to the Hot Seat version).

Note: From Jun 1, 2013, to late Sep 2014, because VTV3's image system has been converted to 16:9 format, the questionnaire compared to the frame is narrower (including the Hot seat version of 2010-2011 although VTV3 was still using 4:3 format).

  • Late Sep 2014 – 2020: The interface of the show this time also continues to use the blue interface but is easy to see, outstanding and twice as beautiful as before. This interface appeared for the first time in the Indian broadcast version of the program.
  • From 2021: The show uses the new interface made by Olga van den Brandt, which is also used on some versions of the show such as Netherlands, Croatia, Chile, Denmark, Israel and Turkey.

Lifelines

From 4 January 2005 to 8 April 2008, the lifelines are

  • 50:50
  • Gọi điện thoại cho người thân (Phone-a-Friend)
  • Hỏi ý kiến khán giả trong trường quay or Xin ý kiến khán giả trường quay (Ask the Audience)

From 8 April 2008, a new lifeline named Tư vấn tại chỗ (International name: Ask Three of the Audience) appeared. It's available for the contestant after the 5th question.

For the first 7 episodes of 2020 version (from May 5, 2020, to June 16, 2020), there are two new lifelines that replaced the lifeline when the show had no audience due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is still used later even the audience is back. They are:

  • Hỏi ý kiến những nhà thông thái (Ask two Experts) (After 5th question)
