SEASON MODE
This is the main game mode, and it mirrors the format of the live competition. Get ready to compete through all of the rounds in a bid to be crowned The Voice. This can be played solo or with a friend in the same room. The types of rounds are:
BLIND AUDITIONS - Compete in the fi rst round of The Voice by singing for the four coaches of the season. Just like in the show, their chairs are turned so they will be voting on the quality of your singing. This is your chance to impress them with your skills and get them to vote for you. If more than one coach votes, then the power is in your hands to choose a coach for the season.
THE BATTLES (ROUNDS 1 AND 2) - Go head to head against another contestant. Take turns singing verses and collaborate on choruses. Be sure to impress your coach as he/she will decide if you will progress to the next round. Remember, even if you don’t move to the next round with your coach there is always the chance another coach could steal you away if they like what they hear!
THE PLAYOFFS - Put in your best performance to make it into your coach’s fi nal three for the Live shots. There are no more steals so make sure you choose the right song and give it your best.
LIVE SHOWS - Each coach enters the live shows with three artists, creating the top 12. Each singer gets to sing one song and the top four, who receive the most votes, progress to the semi­fi nal.
FINAL 12 - The top 12 contestants perform songs to compete for the most votes. The top 8 advance to the quarter fi nals.
QUARTER-FINALS - The top 8 contestants from fi nal 12 perform songs to compete for the most votes. The top four advance to the semi-fi nals.
SEMI-FINALS - The top six contestants from quater-fi nals perform songs to compete for the most votes. The top two advance to the fi nals.
FINAL - Four contestant must choose a song to perform. The top singer with the most votes is the winner.

• Audition Fever: head-to-head battle where players both sing the entire song.
• The player with the highest score wins the match. At the end
of the game, the player who received the most votes over the course of the game wins.

VOICE TRAP
Challenge your opponent in Voice Trap. Sing head to head for the higher score but watch for power-up traps as you progress through each multiplier level!
• Moving up a multiplier level begins trap setting for your own pitch board.
• At level 1 (x2 Multiplier level) you will start to receive ‘bomb notes’. Sing on any of these highlighted lozenges and lose your current multiplier level.
• Moving to level 2 multiplier will cause your pitch board to fl ip so vocal runs moving upward are displayed as running down.
• Reaching level 3 will cause your lyric display to fl ip and your pitch board to reverse.
• Receiving a no score or ‘red’ for a page will mean a score and multiplier is knocked down to zero.
