Uutisvisa (Helsingin Sanomat)

About Uutisvisa (Helsingin Sanomat)

Uutisvisa (news quiz) is part of HS Pelit, the games page of the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, where it sits next to Miniristikko, Sanalouhos and Sanajuuri. The paper describes it as a test of whether you are up to date: ten questions that show how well you have been reading the paper lately.

A new quiz is published every day at 10:30 Finnish time as its own page, and the recent quizzes are listed under Tuoreet Uutisvisat on the games page. Each quiz gets a playful headline built around one of its questions, such as how many McDonald's restaurants there are in Finland or which new country Hesburger is opening in.

The questions mix hard news with lighter items from culture, science, sport and everyday life. Some headlines offer a taste of the answer options, as in Heselino, Hesenoux or Hesépoulos. You work through all ten questions in one sitting.

It suits Finnish readers who want a quick check on the week's news. The recent quizzes have been free to play without a subscription, unlike some other HS games.
