¿Quién es la máscara? (abbreviated as La máscara) is a Uruguayan reality singing competition television series that premiered on Teledoce on May 5, 2022.

In November 2021 it was reported that Teledoce was negotiating to acquire the rights to Masked Singer, with the aim of producing it in 2022, as one of its big bets for its sixtieth anniversary.

Following the announcement of the series, it was confirmed that the permanent panel of "investigators" would consist of dancer and choreographer Emir Abdul Gani, [6] presenter and journalist Sofía Rodríguez, [7] singer and songwriter Fabián Delgado, and model and television personality Patricia Wolf. [8] In late March, Maximiliano de la Cruz was confirmed as the host of the show. [9]
In late April 2022, it was revealed that Camila Rajchman and Leticia Píriz would join the show to present behind the scenes and manage social networks respectively. [10] The show's air date was confirmed through its official Instagram account for May 5, 2022. [11] On October 27, 2022, the competition was renewed for a second series in 2023.
