Who Wants to Be the Miraculous?

Who Wants to Be the Miraculous? (Vietnamese: Ai là Ngọc Thần, formerly Ai là Triệu Phú - VATV) is a custom-made gameshow based on Ai là Triệu Phú, a Vietnamese version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, based on the French animated series, Miraculous. The show is hosted by Nguyễn Việt Anh.

The show was originally renewed for the fourth season, through Việt Anh's Facebook post. However, no news regarding to the show since, until the revival of its third season for the Miraculous Tournament. After that, once again there are no news regarding to the development of the fourth season. On July 13, 2021, due to VATV Productions, the channel that distribute the show have underwent a scandal, it was reported that C.W.H Entertainment have terminated the contracts with the channel. The show was presumably not renewed for the fourth season, and was permanently cancelled.

Core rules
Contestant will be asked 15 general knowledge questions with increasing difficulty by the host. Contestants have no time limit to think the answer of the question. Each question is tied to a specified milestones. Each question is worth a specific amount of money; the amounts are not cumulative. If at any time the contestant gives a wrong answer, the game is over and the contestant's winnings are reduced to 0 for tier-one questions, 1,000 for tier-two questions, and 32,000 for tier-three questions. However, the contestant may choose to stop playing after being presented with a question, allowing them to keep all the money they have won to that point. When the contestant answer all 15 questions correctly, he/she will be crowned as "Miraculous" (stylized in all caps).

Fastest Finger First (December 22, 2020)
During the THPT Lê Lợi Special, which aired on December 22, 2020 as the second part of Christmas Special, the Fastest Finger First was introduced. 4 contestants representing 4 teams will play a round of Fastest Finger to determine who would play in the hot seat. Contestants have to put the four answers in the correct order within 20 seconds. The contestant who put the answers in the correct order and with the fastest time would play in the hot seat.

Clock Format
Starting on the 3rd season, each question now has a time limit. The amount of time for each question was as follows:
 * Questions 1-2: 30 seconds
 * Questions 3-7: 45 seconds
 * Questions 8-12: 60 seconds
 * Question 13: 3 minutes

The timer began to run as soon as the four answer options were revealed, and the contestant had to give a final answer before it reached 0. The timer would temporarily stop when a lifeline was used, only to restart once it had ended. If time ran out, the game ended and the contestant is forced to walk away with their winnings. However, if this happened while the Double Dip lifeline was in effect, the contestant's winnings were instead reduced to the last safety net they had reached, a similar effect to a wrong answer given.

Lifelines
Lifelines are available for the contestant to use if a question proves difficult. Multiple lifelines may be used on a single question, but each one can only be used once per game.

Current lifelines

 * 50:50 (July 26, 2020 - present): The computer will eliminate two wrong options.
 * Phone-a-Friend (December 8, 2020; February 2, 2021 - present): The contestant calls a pre-arranged friend and is given 30 seconds to discuss the question with that person.
 * Double Dip (July 26, 2020 - present): Allows a contestant to make a second guess at the answer if his/her first one was wrong. The contestant had to invoke the lifeline before making the first guess, and it was removed from play regardless of which guess was correct. In addition, the contestant could not walk away from the question after invoking the lifeline. This lifeline was given only when the contestant reached the 1st safety net.
 * Ask Three of the Audience (February 2, 2021 - present): The contestant can pick three random members of the audience, and they suggest the contestant the answer they think is correct.

Former lifelines

 * Ask the Host (July 26, 2020 - October 20, 2020): Allows the contestant to ask for the host's advice on the current question and give the best possible answer. If used and the contestant answers, both the contestant and host do not see the correct answer until the computer reveals it.
 * Plus One (July 26, 2020 - December 1, 2020; December 15, 2020 - December 29, 2020): The contestant may invite a friend onstage from the audience to assist with the current question. After the question result, the friend must return to the audience.
 * Ask Marinette (December 1, 2020 - December 29, 2020): The contestant will have 30 seconds to ask the virtual character Marinette of the French animated series, Miraculous.
