Objective
For a century, Columbia Pictures has brought drama, suspense, laughter, and love to the big screen. With stories, memories, and quotes spanning a hundred years, it's truly a celebration of fandom.
As a tribute to this fandom, Watson Design Group commissioned us to craft a digital quiz, inviting fans to dive back into the films and series they love most and reintroduce them to others they may have missed.

Solution
With the quiz, we guide users on an interactive journey through Columbia Pictures’ collection of film titles and TV shows, encouraging a path of self-discovery. Through strategic questions and personalized interactions, we aimed to understand each visitor, identifying the stories that had influenced them the most, resulting in a bespoke experience that was unique for every user and visit.
When the quiz ends, it generates a personalized, one-of-a-kind shareable asset that highlights the visitors’ favorite three titles within their favorite genre, continuing to generate traffic and excitement around the site throughout the year.

A dynamic journeythrough time
Quiz Mechanics
In order to create a uniquely individual experience, we implemented a strategic backend development to keep the journey original, dynamic, and varied for every user — no matter how many times they return. This combined with the wide range of visuals and varied questions ensured a new and entertaining experience for all.
A quiz shaped by you
Each run through the quiz presents the visitor with 8 interactive questions that gradually change based on their responses. With titles, genres, and visuals from a hundred years of film and television, we were able to tailor the experience around each answer. For example, if the quiz finds that the user leans toward horror, more options will be horror-themed. If they lean toward 80s films, more options will tap into nostalgia.
