The host of the show is MC Tran Thanh. In each episode, guests and a fixed home team for the season will compete to find the mysterious people.

The program is currently airing its 5th season.

Season 1-4

• The mission of the two teams is to find the mysterious person in a group. The mysterious person matches the description given by the host. Common descriptions are about the profession, hometown, or possessions of the mysterious person with an object. All people in the mysterious person group take turns using words or performing requested acts to prove they are the mysterious person. The teams are allowed to ask questions, or the program may request the mysterious person to perform some actions or performances for the teams to decide. The team that correctly guesses the mysterious person receives one point. After 5 rounds, if the guest team is equal to or higher than the home team's score, the guest team wins overall.

Season 5

• The rules for season 5 have changed, with guest pairs no longer fixed as a male-female pair but more flexible, possibly being 2 males or 2 females, or sometimes more than 2 members to compete with the home team. Unlike previous seasons, the program will reduce from 5 rounds to 4 rounds. The final round will be a gathering of 'all-stars,' increasing from 6 to 8 people, and at this time, there will be no fake mysterious person anymore. All eight people are talented, but only one person has the most 'special' ability, which is the last mysterious person. The drama is heightened when the points in round 4 are doubled, promising dramatic turnarounds at the last minute.

In season 3, the program underwent a format change and was renamed Remix New Generation.

The Harmony of Light program requires singers to collaborate with a music producer and a DJ to form a team that competes with other teams each night. The performances will be arranged according to different themes. Each team will creatively combine electronic device manipulation techniques, traditional and modern electronic musical instruments, and blend them with the main singer's vocals in a graceful manner to create new arrangements for familiar songs.

Harmony of Light is not only a launching pad for high-quality EDM products but also challenges the creativity of artists, producers, and DJs in orchestrating musical productions. That's why, to be featured in the Finals, the 3 teams with the most 'breakthrough' performances through 9 consecutive live shows each week must completely win over the judges and millions of discerning TV viewers. The challenges and themes, such as Hip-hop, Rock, Traditional Music, Folk Music, Club/Lounge, will be set by the judges. However, the most important result each night will still depend on the voting results of TV viewers.

The Amazing Race Vietnam: The Race of Wonders is a game show adapted from the format of the U.S. version, The Amazing Race. The program features pairs of contestants from all over Vietnam competing together. The show premiered from late May 2012 until now. In the first season, Dustin Nguyen was chosen as the host. The second season introduced the 'Celebrity' version with Huy Khanh selected to replace Dustin Nguyen.

The Amazing Race Vietnam: The Race of Wonders is a television game that follows pairs of contestants from all over Vietnam as they compete together. The race is divided into multiple stages, where teams must travel and complete tasks to receive clues leading them to a rest stop where they can recharge before moving on to the next stage. The first team to arrive at a regular pit stop will receive a prize, while the last team to finish a stage is usually eliminated from the race (except for non-elimination stages). The final stage of each race includes the participation of three teams, with the first team to reach the destination receiving a prize of 300 million VND.

Most of the rules and penalties of the Vietnamese version are similar to the U.S. version, especially in the first season. Since the second season, some formats have been changed: for example, there is no longer a local person standing next to the host at the mat at the end of each stage, and there are no more travel or resort rewards for the first-place team in each stage...

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is the Vietnamese version of the popular television game show originating from the UK, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The program is produced by VTV3 - Vietnam Television and has been broadcasted since January 4, 2005, every Tuesday night. The current host is journalist Phan Dang. The main objective of the game is to win by answering 15 multiple-choice questions posed by the program.

From September 7, 2010, to June 28, 2011, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire aired a version called Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Hot Seat with new gameplay. As of July 5, 2011, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire returned to the original format.

Players have to answer 15 questions with difficulty levels increasing progressively, with unlimited thinking time. Each question has a prize amount, increasing in order. There are three significant milestones at questions 5, 10, and 15 (the 'MILLIONAIRE' milestone). When surpassing these milestones, they secure the corresponding prize amounts for those questions. From question 10 onwards, each time a player answers a question correctly, the host will sign a check for the player with a value equivalent to the prize amount of that question.

Players have the option to continue playing or stop the game. If they stop, they will leave with the amount corresponding to the last correctly answered question. If they choose to continue and answer incorrectly, the game ends, and the player receives the prize corresponding to the nearest significant milestone. If a player answers incorrectly before question 5, they won't receive a prize. If they answer all 15 questions correctly, the player becomes a 'millionaire,' receiving the prize corresponding to the 15th question.

After the current player finishes their game, if time is still available, the host will continue selecting another player until the program's time limit is reached. If a player has not completed their game and the time is up, they will continue their game in the next episode.

Help options: Players have four help options that can be used anytime if they don't know the answer or are unsure. In a single question, players can use all help options, but all help options can only be used once.

• 50:50: The computer will eliminate 2 incorrect options.
• Phone-a-Friend: Players contact one of the pre-registered phone numbers with the program from the start and ask for the opinion of the person on the other end within the designated time of 30 seconds.
• Ask the Audience: Each audience member (including the player's relatives) is equipped with a survey device to choose their answer. When choosing this help option, the player will receive the results in the form of a percentage chart of audience choices for each option.
• Ask the Expert Panel: Any audience member in the studio (including the player's relatives) who believes they know the answer can raise their hand to assist the player. Three participants will be chosen for the player to ask for opinions and make decisions. The helpers do not necessarily have to give the same answer. Currently, there is a prize of 600,000 VND, evenly distributed among the audience members who answered correctly. If 3 audience members answer correctly, each receives 200,000 VND; if 2 audience members answer correctly, each receives 300,000 VND; only 1 audience member will receive 600,000 VND. This help option can be used after the player answers question 5 (2 million VND), and only starting from question 6. This help option first appeared on May 20, 2008, when the new look in green appeared.

This is one of the most intellectually engaging Game shows attracting a large audience in Vietnam up to the current time. When participating in the game, players will experience the feeling of sitting in the hot seat, answering questions related to various fields. The broader the knowledge and the calmer, with the help of the audience, relatives, from the program, and a bit of luck, players will receive checks with different high values, depending on the question milestones they answer.
