The Detectives' Adventures

Seven celebrity MCs come together to reimagine classic detective tales in a reality format that leans on well known IPs. Each episode centers on a familiar drama, but the action unfolds in real locations rather than on a studio set. The show invites the hosts to bend the original scripts into fresh scenes and pursue clues through playful tasks, improvised scenes and misdirection. The seven hosts act as both performers and investigators, trading lines, hints and jokes as they test theories against the evidence they uncover. There are no scripted endings; instead the twists emerge from group dynamics and the twists in the challenges. The blend of humor, deduction and performance aims to entertain while keeping the mystery tangible.

Released in 2021, the series is created by Tong Wu and Shi Hui. It features a seven member MC panel and a concept that adapts detective stories from classic IP into live, real world scenes. The cast includes Na Ying, Huang Zitao, Gao Ye, Ryan Cheng and Meng Ziyi as hosts.

Reception has been mixed, reflected in a modest vote average of 5.0 out of 10 from a small audience. The show balances celebrity banter with puzzle solving and reference to familiar IP drama, offering a lighter take on detection. Viewers are asked to weigh performance against the clues that surface in each episode. For fans of classic IP, the format provides new angles on familiar stories while giving the hosts chances to improvise and connect with viewers in real time.

Cultural impact aside, the program positions itself as a novelty in the reality space by turning detective tales from classic IP into on location performances. Seven celebrities play investigators in real settings, turning fan favorites into interactive experiences. The concept may inspire future formats that blend literature, performance and game play and broaden the discussion around detective fiction.
