The show adopts the uses the season 2 rules of the American version. The mobs of this version are called "happy answerers" (快乐答人) in season 1 and "pass keepers" (守关者) in season 2. For the new rules, the One progresses the payout ladder for every 10 Mob members eliminated in succession, given in "happy gold balls" (快乐金球), which can be used to shop in Happigo (season 1) or "gold coins" (season 2), either one of each currency equals to one Renminbi.

If the "One" answers four questions (three questions in season 1) correctly, the contestant decides on whether to leave with the accumulated winnings or risk all and continue playing; if at any point the "One" answers incorrectly, the "One" loses all of their winnings while the winnings were to split amongst any remaining Mob members. During the game, the player can use any helps:

  • Ask the answerers (询问答人) (Choose one from two (对错二选一) in Season 2): two Mob members are randomly selected: one who answered correctly and one who answered incorrectly. Each explains his or her decision to the contestant, which in turn eliminates the third choice from consideration.
  • Poll the answerers (求证答人): Appeared only on Season 1, the One selects one of the three answers to get more information about. The number of Mob members who chose that answer is revealed, and the contestant chooses one of the revealed mob members to discuss his or her response.
  • Trust the answerers (信任答人) (Trust the majority (信任大多数) in Season 2): the One is automatically committed to the answer chosen most frequently by the Mob.
  • Call for help (电话帮帮忙): Appeared on Season 2 in replacement from Poll the answerers, the One can get help by phoning a friend.
