Each year, I create a themed music quiz for my friends. For 2026, I did Viva La Noughties, which celebrates 00s rock. I handle everything, from writing the questions to designing visuals with animations and interactive features.
I used various creative programs to design the quiz, then brought everything together in PowerPoint. The look is inspired by 00s music TV shows and has a pop-punk vibe. The logo takes inspiration from the Finnish music show Jyrki. I named it "CelloTV" by mixing my nickname, "Timoncello," with "TV" to create the idea of a fictional music channel.
One round in the quiz is a parody of the Finnish TV show Tartu mikkiin. In the original show, studio guests try to guess a song from acapella karaoke clips by regular Finns. For my version, I asked my friends to record a song in advance, and the others had to guess it. The visuals also copy and poke fun at the original show.
The winning team received the Timoncello Music Quiz travelling trophy. Next year, I will reveal a new quiz theme. If you’d like to host a music quiz, maybe at your company event, let me know. I’m thinking about bringing the project to more places in the future.
