Hole in the Wall Vietnam (Vietnamese) (Người đi xuyên tường) is a game show that first aired on 26 December 2014. The program originated in Japan and led to 44 international versions. Two opposing teams face five challenges. The winning team facies an imposing wall in the final round. If they pass the wall, they win the game.

Gameplay
The game consists of two teams of three people. A hobby, occupation, or a location may serve as the team names. Two lifeguards — one male, and one female — sit poolside. The contestants wear silver Spandex zentai unitards and red or blue helmets, elbow pads and knee pads. Contestants must jump through the hole without breaking it and without falling into the water. At least one foot must be in the play area at all times. A replay is shown after each wall has passed. If a wall is not cleared, a diagram is shown of the best method. The game consists of five rounds: Solo Wall, Double Wall, Triple Wall, Speed Wall, and the Final Wall.
Solo Wall
After each team is announced, the team captain enters the play area. After a three-second countdown, the wall is shown. If the captain fails to "clear" the wall, either by falling into the pool or damaging the wall as it passes, the team earns zero points. Clearing the wall earns ten points. The opposing team captain then tries a different wall.
Double Wall
The two non-captains on each team then compete on a Double Wall. The team earns twenty points if both players clear the wall. If either player fails to clear, they earn zero points.
Triple Wall
The whole team competes in the Triple Wall. The team scores thirty points if all three clear the wall. If any player fails to clear, the team earns zero points.
Speed Wall
Like Round 3, all three players complete. The wall moves twice as fast as before. Each player who clears the wall earns two points, for a maximum of six points. In addition, if all three players clear the wall, they win a $5,000 bonus whether they win or lose the game. Both teams get a chance to play for the $5,000, even if the second team has been mathematically eliminated.
The team with more points wins a guaranteed $25,000 and plays the final "Blind Wall." If the game is tied, neither team wins the $25,000, but both advance to a sudden-death version of the Blind Wall.
Blind Wall
After 4 rounds, all members of the two teams face the final challenge. The winning team will earn the prize.
