A special episode aired on 11 June 2016 featuring 8 celebrities playing for up to €150,000 to be split evenly among four charities. The celebrities in this edition included Gérard Holtz (sports journalist), Michel Cymes (journalist), Valérie Damidot (TV presenter), Michaël Gregorio (comedian/impressionist), Amir (French representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016), Iris Mittenaere (Miss France 2016), Valérie Bègue (TV personality) and Tony Saint Laurent (actor).
The participants were divided into four pairs, each representing a different charity. In the first round, the player in each pair with the most points advanced to the semifinal while the other was eliminated. The semifinal is played the same way, the winners of each of the four pairs facing off against each other with the player in each duel with the most points moving on to the final. In the final round, the two remaining players worked together to correctly remember the lyrics to a song at each prize level to earn a higher amount of money, an incorrect guess at any level would put them back at zero. Gérard Holtz and Amir took on Papaoutai by Stromae in the final round and stopped after 4 correct guesses, earning €90,000 for the charities.
