Jon Snow’s 2011 Quiz of the Year is a one-off programme for Channel 4, which looks back over the last 12 months of news in both Britain and abroad, for what has been a turbulent year of earthquakes, riots, uprisings and royal weddings!

After the success of the apps Numiko built for C4, including Comedy Blaps and Desperate Scousewives, we were commissioned by channel4.com to create an online quiz and webpage to support the TV programme, allowing users to test their own knowledge of the events of 2011.

Numiko have created a timed quiz made up of 20 multiple choice questions that cover the biggest news stories of this year. Users have a maximum of 20 seconds to answer each one, putting them on the spot and really testing just how much they were paying attention to what’s been happening in both the UK and abroad.

On completing the quiz, a final score is displayed and users get a breakdown for each question along with links to further information. Users will also be able to share their results on Twitter and Facebook.

Vicky Taylor, Commissioning Editor New Media, News and Current Affairs at Channel 4 New said, “We know from past experience that audiences enjoy interacting with current affairs programmes to test their knowledge of events. It has been such a momentous year for news, that this is just the right time to test the nation’s knowledge of what really happened in 2011”.
