Format
Rules and gameplay
In Masked Singer Suomi, a group of well-known Finnish celebrities are selected as contestants, with their identities concealed through elaborate full-body costumes and masks that also alter their voices during performances. These participants, drawn from diverse fields such as music, entertainment, and sports, perform songs anonymously under fictional character names, aiming to showcase their singing abilities while maintaining secrecy.[6] The gameplay revolves around weekly studio-recorded episodes where all remaining contestants perform individually, typically singing popular songs in a studio setting. Clues about each contestant's identity—delivered through videos, packages, or visual hints—are presented before and after performances to aid guessing, though the primary focus is on vocal talent. In early episodes, performances may include group elements or themed rounds, but the core structure emphasizes solo showcases as the competition progresses.[6] Voting occurs immediately after the performances, combining input from the live studio audience and home viewers via phone, app, or online platforms, with the combined tally determining results. The contestant receiving the fewest votes each week is eliminated and must unmask to reveal their identity, while the others advance. In some episodes, the panel of experts may unanimously activate a special button to force an early unmasking of a suspected contestant before the full vote, adding a strategic element.[7] The competition progresses through successive elimination rounds, narrowing the field over 10 to 13 episodes per season until reaching the semifinals and a grand final featuring the top three or four performers. In the finale, contestants deliver final performances, and the winner is decided by a decisive public vote, crowned as the season's champion without needing to unmask until the end.[7] Across seasons, minor variations have been introduced, such as increasing the number of contestants from 12 in early seasons to 14 or 16 in later ones, and incorporating "clue songs"—original compositions hinting at identities—in select episodes starting from Season 6 (e.g., the Clue Songs themed week in Week 7 of Season 6). In Season 7, a new 'Poista maski' button allows the panel to unanimously force an early unmasking; a wrong guess grants the contestant immunity for that episode.[8]Costumes and clues
In Masked Singer Suomi, contestants perform in elaborate full-body costumes that represent fictional characters, animals, or objects, designed to completely conceal their identities while allowing for dynamic stage movement. The production team, led by costume designer Merja Thil for the first five seasons, collaborates closely with participants during initial meetings to incorporate artist input and ensure the disguises align with the show's secretive format. These costumes are crafted over 2–3 weeks each, involving custom tailoring, padding to alter body shapes (such as adding stomach padding for taller celebrities up to 190 cm), and rigorous testing for durability and comfort during choreography. Thil, a seasoned tailor with experience from institutions like the Finnish National Theatre, emphasizes functionality, noting the physical demands of the process as a "hate-love relationship" with the characters.[9] Clues are delivered primarily through pre-recorded video packages aired before each performance, featuring riddles, symbolic imagery, and distorted voiceovers that hint at the celebrity's career, personal life, or achievements without direct revelation. These packages, produced by the show's team, integrate visual metaphors and narrative elements tailored to the Finnish context, maintaining the international franchise's emphasis on misdirection. Voice distortion technology is applied to all audio clues and live singing to further obscure identities, ensuring guesses rely on interpretation rather than recognition. In later seasons, such as Season 6 onward, additional on-stage elements have been introduced, including performances with altered song lyrics or props that provide subtle hints during the act itself.[3][10] The post-unmasking reveal occurs immediately after elimination or in the finale, where the losing or final contestant removes their mask on stage amid host narration and panel reactions, confirming their identity to the audience. The celebrity typically shares a brief reaction, reflecting on the experience and verifying how clues tied to their life, often expressing surprise at the disguise's effectiveness—such as the annual shock from the internal heat despite warnings. This moment culminates in applause and sometimes a short unmasked performance, reinforcing the reveal's celebratory tone.[3][10] Over the seasons, costume quality has evolved from foundational designs in Season 1 (premiering in spring 2020) to increasingly intricate and thematic creations by Season 7 (airing in late 2025), with Thil handling solo efforts initially before Katja Rautajoki joined for Season 6 amid Thil's health challenges and partial retirement. Early costumes focused on basic concealment and mobility, while later iterations incorporated more advanced padding and reflect growing production expertise. Clue complexity has similarly progressed, shifting from straightforward riddles to multifaceted packages with layered symbolism, and incorporating on-stage integrations in recent years to heighten viewer engagement without compromising the core mystery.[9][11]Cast
Host
Ilkka Uusivuori, a prominent Finnish television presenter born on August 26, 1980, has served as the sole host of Masked Singer Suomi since its premiere in spring 2020, continuing through Season 7 in autumn 2025.[1][12][13] His career includes hosting major programs such as X Factor Finland, Uutisvuoto, and the Eurovision national selections UMK, establishing him as a versatile figure in Finnish entertainment known for his engaging on-screen presence.[14][15][16] In his role, Uusivuori introduces the masked contestants, oversees their performances, announces panel and audience votes, leads the unmasking ceremonies, and conducts post-reveal interviews with the celebrities.[17][18] He also maintains the show's pace during clue presentations and guessing segments, ensuring smooth transitions in the live format.[19] Uusivuori's hosting style is characterized by humorous banter with the panelists and audience, often lightening tense reveal moments with witty commentary, as seen in his surprised reaction to unmasking his own wife in Season 2.[18][20] This approach has contributed to the show's family-friendly appeal, including during specials like the 2024 Pelastakaa Lasten Joulu charity episode, where he guided the festivities without guest hosts.[12][17] His occasional participation, such as singing in openings, further enhances the interactive and entertaining atmosphere.[20]Panelists
The panel for Masked Singer Suomi consists of a core group of entertainment personalities tasked with dissecting performance clues, proposing celebrity identities, voting to eliminate one contestant per episode, and revealing their final guesses immediately after each unmasking. Their discussions often feature lively, humorous banter that highlights their collective expertise in Finnish music, television, and pop culture, contributing to the show's engaging atmosphere.[21][22] The inaugural season in spring 2020 featured three regular panelists: comedian and host Janne Kataja, actress and comedian Jenni Kokander, and journalist Maria Veitola.[23][24] For season 2 in autumn 2020, actor and comedian Christoffer Strandberg joined as the fourth permanent member, expanding the group to analyze an increased number of clues and performances.[25][21] This quartet—Kataja, Kokander, Veitola, and Strandberg—remained intact through seasons 3 and 4. Maria Veitola served as a panelist from seasons 1 through 6.[8] Significant shifts occurred starting with season 5 in 2023, when Kokander and Strandberg departed, replaced by actress Jenni Poikelus and singer Benjamin Peltonen; Kataja and Veitola continued, maintaining continuity while infusing new energy from theater and music backgrounds.[26] For season 7 in autumn 2025, Veitola stepped away due to production decisions, leaving a trio of Kataja, Poikelus, and Peltonen as the core panel, which has been noted for its streamlined yet dynamic interplay.[27][28] Across seasons, the panel's guessing accuracy has varied, with occasional spot-on predictions enhancing surprise unmaskings and frequent near-misses fueling ongoing speculation among viewers.[22] Occasional guest panelists appear in select episodes to offer specialized insights, such as musical analysis or celebrity connections, refreshing the regular group's perspectives. In season 1's finale, Apocalyptica cellist Eicca Toppinen joined, leveraging his rock expertise to dissect vocal styles.[23] Season 7 has featured guests like radio host Ville "Viki" Eerikkilä and podcaster Juuso "Köpi" Kallio, who contributed humorous pop culture references and audience-relatable guesses in early episodes.[29]Series overview
Season 1 (Spring 2020)
The first season of Masked Singer Suomi premiered on 14 March 2020 on MTV3 and consisted of a 10-week run, concluding on 16 May 2020.[30] As the introductory season, it featured 12 masked celebrities competing in the standard format of weekly performances, panel guesses, and eliminations based on audience and panel votes, with one contestant unmasked each episode until the finale.[1] In the season finale, comedian Sami Hedberg, performing as Leijona (Lion), was revealed as the winner.[31] The runner-up was musician Ilkka Alanko as Heinäseiväs (Haystack), while singer Erika Vikman placed third as Ampiainen (Wasp); other notable reveals included violinist Linda Lampenius as Kisu (Kitty) and singer Pandora as Peacock.[32][33][34] The season drew an average of 991,000 live TV viewers per episode, with a total reach of 1.5 million including reruns and online streams, and individual episodes reaching up to 1.75 million Finns.[35] As Finland's debut adaptation of the international franchise, it became the most-watched entertainment program of spring 2020, marking a significant cultural phenomenon during the early COVID-19 pandemic.[36]Season 2 (Autumn 2020)
The second season of Masked Singer Suomi premiered on MTV3 on 17 October 2020, following an introductory episode on 12 September 2020 that presented the 12 masked contestants.[37] The season adopted a 9-week format, building on the success of the spring debut by maintaining core elements like audience and panel voting while introducing minor adjustments to the voting process for smoother progression, such as refined tiebreaker mechanisms.[38] This back-to-back scheduling helped sustain viewer interest amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with production adhering to health protocols including limited crew and social distancing on set.[39] Featuring 12 elaborate costumes representing characters like Tohtori (Doctor), Hiirulainen (Mouse), and Pakkanen (Frost), the season emphasized diverse celebrity performers from music, comedy, and entertainment. The competition culminated in a double-episode finale on 18–19 December 2020, with a semifinal on Friday and the grand reveal on Saturday, incorporating holiday-themed elements to align with the pre-Christmas timing.[40] In the finale, Tohtori was unmasked as Nightwish bassist Marko Hietala, securing the win, while runner-up Hiirulainen revealed as comedian Jarkko Tamminen and third-place Pakkanen as actor Mikko Leppilampi.[41] These reveals generated buzz, highlighting the show's momentum from the first season's celebrity draws. The season achieved strong viewership, with episodes averaging around 800,000–950,000 live viewers, such as 951,000 for the 24 October episode, and a total reach of approximately 1.78 million unique viewers across the run—comparable to the first season's 1.75 million but solidifying its status as a top entertainment program during autumn.[42][43] Reception was positive, with the holiday finale boosting engagement through festive staging and social media speculation, though some critiques noted familiarity with the format; overall, it reinforced the series' appeal as escapist viewing amid pandemic uncertainties.[41]Season 3 (2021)
The third season of Masked Singer Suomi premiered on 28 August 2021 and concluded on 20 November 2021, marking the series' longest run at 13 episodes.[44] This expanded format featured 16 contestants, an increase from prior seasons, competing in elaborate costumes with enhanced clue packages that included visual, verbal, and thematic hints to obscure their celebrity identities.[45] A notable addition was supplementary online clues provided through sponsor interactions on Devisol.fi, allowing viewers to engage in themed games for deeper insights into the performers' backgrounds.[44] The season's narrative arc built tension through progressive eliminations, culminating in a finale that highlighted vocal prowess and surprise reveals among the top contenders. The competition's climax saw Supersankari crowned the winner, revealed as actress and singer Anna-Maija Tuokko, who performed a closing rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You."[46] Tuokko's character drew inspiration from her young daughter, emphasizing themes of empowerment and diversity with rainbow elements symbolizing her advocacy for human and animal rights. Runner-up Bilepanda was unmasked as opera singer Waltteri Torikka, whose energetic performances, including a finale cover of Scatman John's "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)," stunned the panel with their deceptive flair. Third place went to Corppi, portrayed by singer Kasmir (Thomas Kirjonen), whose steampunk-inspired persona and soulful deliveries had been fan favorites throughout the arc.[47] Viewership demonstrated steady growth, reflecting the season's appeal amid Finland's easing pandemic restrictions. The premiere episode drew 735,000 viewers, while the finale peaked at 1.12 million, underscoring the format's rising popularity on MTV3.[48][49] Production returned to full live studio audiences for the first time since the pandemic onset, enhancing the interactive voting element where spectators influenced eliminations alongside home viewers. No specific awards were bestowed for this season, though the series as a whole earned nominations at the Kultainen Venla awards for its entertainment impact.[50]Season 4 (2022)
The fourth season of Masked Singer Suomi aired from 3 September to 19 November 2022, spanning 12 weeks with weekly episodes on MTV3.[51][52] Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the season featured the regular panel of Janne Kataja, Jenni Kokander, Maria Veitola, and Christoffer Strandberg, who provided guesses based on performances and clues.[53] The season included 14 masked contestants, representing a diverse array of Finnish celebrities from fields such as music, sports, and entertainment, including a jazz pianist, a singer-songwriter, and a ski jumping legend.[53] This lineup emphasized the show's tradition of concealing well-known figures behind elaborate costumes, with clues designed to hint at their identities without revealing them outright. No major format refinements were introduced, maintaining the core structure of live performances, panel analysis, and audience voting to determine eliminations. Lenni-Kalle Taipale, performing as Musta-Lammas (Black Sheep), was crowned the winner in the finale, recognized for his vocal talent as a jazz musician.[53] Runner-up was Tuure Boelius as Örkki (Orc), a prominent singer, while third place went to Nelli Matula as Hodari (Hot Dog), an actress and influencer; other notable eliminations included Janne Ahonen, the ski jumper behind Banaani (Banana), and Eino Grön as Timantti (Diamond).[54] The season sustained the program's popularity, drawing consistent audiences and reinforcing its status as a leading entertainment format in Finland.[55]Season 5 (2023)
The fifth season of Masked Singer Suomi premiered on 9 September 2023 on MTV3 and spanned 12 episodes, concluding with the finale on 25 November 2023. Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the season introduced a refreshed detective panel, with actress Jenni Poikelus and singer Benjamin Peltonen joining as new permanent members alongside returning panelists Janne Kataja and Maria Veitola. This change aimed to bring fresh perspectives to the clue-solving dynamic, marking a notable shift from the previous seasons' lineup.[56][26] The season featured 14 contestants performing in elaborate costumes, each delivering vocal performances while the panel and audience deciphered cryptic clues about their identities. The competition built a storyline centered on diverse musical talents, culminating in a finale where the top three—Kolibri, Kiuas, and Maajussi—were revealed as singers Bess, Jarkko Ahola, and Hanna Pakarinen, respectively, all with prior connections to Finland's UMK and Eurovision selections. Bess, performing as Kolibri, emerged as the winner, celebrated for her powerful renditions and elusive clues that kept her identity hidden until the end. The narrative emphasized themes of surprise reveals and musical prowess, with wildcard elements adding unpredictability to eliminations.[57][58] Note: Wiki cited only for contestant count verification, but primary from news. Viewership for the season showed a decline in audience engagement compared to earlier outings, with the premiere episode drawing approximately 670,000 viewers, lower than the million-plus averages of prior seasons. Social media feedback highlighted peaks of interest in early reveals but overall declines, as many viewers described the season as lackluster and repetitive, criticizing the clue presentation and pacing. Despite this, the finale maintained solid interest among loyal fans, underscoring the show's enduring appeal in Finnish entertainment.

The sixth season of Masked Singer Suomi premiered on MTV3 on 31 August 2024 and concluded with its finale on 16 November 2024, spanning 12 weeks of competition.[61] The season featured 12 initial masks, with additional wildcards like Metsäpeikko joining mid-season in week 5, adding unpredictability to the eliminations and allowing late entrants to influence the competition dynamics.[62] This structure heightened viewer engagement by introducing fresh narratives and performances as the field narrowed from group battles to semifinals. The season introduced innovative themed episodes to enhance thematic depth and tie into cultural events, impacting gameplay through specialized performances and clue integrations. Week 7 focused on "Clue Songs," where contestants performed tracks directly linked to their personal hints, deepening the mystery-solving aspect for the panel and audience.[63] Subsequent themes included a Halloween special in week 9, emphasizing spooky aesthetics and songs that amplified costume reveals; an Eurovision-themed week 10, featuring international hits and nods to Finnish music history; and a Duets episode in week 11, pairing masks with guest artists like Erika Vikman and Kasmir for collaborative showdowns that tested vocal chemistry.[64][65][66] These themes related broadly to the show's clue mechanics by incorporating visual and musical hints that built on earlier costume designs, without altering core elimination rules. In the finale, wildcard Metsäpeikko emerged as the winner, securing the golden mask after a season that showcased diverse Finnish celebrity talent and creative staging.[62] The victory of a mid-season addition underscored the thematic impact, as it rewarded adaptability in themed challenges and surprised panelists who had favored early frontrunners. Production enhancements, including the first dedicated Halloween and Eurovision episodes, aimed to boost viewer immersion and seasonal relevance, contributing to sustained high engagement throughout the run. The season's ratings remained strong, averaging over 400,000 viewers per episode, with peaks during themed weeks that aligned with cultural holidays.

The season introduces unique format tweaks, such as a one-time "remove mask" button for the panelists per season—correctly guessing a contestant's identity forces an immediate unmasking, while an incorrect guess advances that performer safely. Additionally, clue videos employ a hybrid of live-action and AI-generated animation, sparking debate over production choices but enhancing the whimsical storytelling. One contestant is a returning participant from a prior season, heightening intrigue among clues.[28][68] Viewership has remained robust, with episodes consistently topping weekly charts; for instance, recent broadcasts have drawn around 974,000 linear TV viewers, supplemented by strong streaming reach on MTV Katsomo totaling over 1.5 million unique viewers across the season so far.

Week 8 (19 October)
In the eighth episode of Masked Singer Suomi's sixth season, broadcast on 19 October 2024, the seven remaining contestants took the stage for individual performances, with clues presented prior to each to aid the panel in their guesses. The episode, titled "Äimänkäet," highlighted the growing confusion among the detectives—Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Jenni Poikelus, and Benjamin Peltonen—as they struggled to match names to the masks. Host Ilkka Uusivuori guided the proceedings, and a special cameo appearance by season 4 winner Musta-Lammas (Lenni-Kalle Taipale) occurred during one performance, adding to the intrigue. The contestants delivered a mix of classic and contemporary songs, showcasing their vocal abilities while incorporating thematic clues tied to their disguises. Notable performances included Yö ja Päivä's emotional rendition of "Maasta taivaaseen" by pehmoaino, which evoked themes of contrast and harmony aligning with the mask's duality; Luuranko's haunting cover of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, praised for its depth and emotional resonance; Kakka's powerful take on "All by Myself" by Eric Carmen, emphasizing isolation in a humorous yet poignant way; and Minttu's energetic performance of "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley, featuring Musta-Lammas on electric piano for a lively, nostalgic twist. The other contestants—Metsäpeikko, Pesukarhu, and Kontiainen—also performed, advancing their narratives through movement and vocal style, though specific song details were not highlighted in contemporary reports. Following the performances and panel deliberations, the studio audience voted, with Minttu receiving the fewest votes and facing elimination. The mask's removal revealed Finnish actor and television personality Mikko Töyssy, known for roles in films such as The Unknown Soldier (2017) and appearances on shows like Putous. The reveal stunned the panel, with Jenni Poikelus exclaiming "What?! No!" as none of the detectives had suspected Töyssy during his run; guesses had leaned toward other performers and public figures. Töyssy expressed frustration at his early exit but noted the experience allowed him to explore a playful, concealing character that contrasted his usual dramatic roles. The remaining six masks—Yö ja Päivä, Luuranko, Kakka, Metsäpeikko, Pesukarhu, and Kontiainen—advanced to the Halloween-themed episode.| Mask (English Translation) | Song | Artist | Result |

Week 9 (26 October) – Halloween
The ninth episode of the sixth season of Masked Singer Suomi aired on 26 October 2024 and embraced a Halloween theme, with the studio decorated in eerie atmospheres and contestants sharing clues about their greatest fears. Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the panel of investigators—Janne Kataja, Jenni Poikelus, Benjamin Peltonen, and Maria Veitola—contributed to the guesses and discussions. The episode featured performances by the remaining six contestants, emphasizing spooky, dramatic, or thematic songs to fit the holiday spirit, while the panel praised the creativity and vocal versatility on display.[64] The performances highlighted the contestants' adaptability to the Halloween motif, with elaborate costumes enhanced by fog, lighting effects, and props like fake cobwebs and pumpkins. The six masks were Kakka, Kontiainen, Luuranko, Metsäpeikko, Pesukarhu, and Yö ja Päivä, each delivering renditions that tied into their clues and the festive theme, blending humor, energy, and emotion across genres. Following the performances, audience votes determined the elimination, leading to the unmasking of Kontiainen. The mole-themed mask was revealed to house journalist, documentary filmmaker, and photographer Meeri Koutaniemi, surprising the panel, particularly Maria Veitola, a personal friend who failed to recognize her voice or clues such as sleeping 18 hours straight and photography references. The panel's guesses had included other public figures, but none anticipated Koutaniemi. She confirmed the sleep clue was accurate and described the experience as challenging yet enjoyable, noting her limited singing background. Koutaniemi's elimination left five contestants advancing to the Eurovision-themed episode. The episode drew praise for its atmospheric production and the unexpected reveal, heightening suspense for the season's endgame.[285][286][287]Week 10 (2 November) – Eurovision
The tenth episode of Masked Singer Suomi's sixth season, themed "Eurovision," aired on 2 November 2024 on MTV3. The episode opened with a special guest performance by the mask Euroviisu, who sang "Eläköön elämä," Finland's 1985 Eurovision entry originally performed by Sonja Lumme. The reveal immediately followed, unmasking Euroviisu as musician and Eurovision commentator Mikko Silvennoinen, who then joined the detective panel for the remainder of the show. This guest segment set a celebratory tone, tying into the theme by highlighting Finnish Eurovision history.[288] The five remaining contestants—Kakka, Luuranko, Metsäpeikko, Pesukarhu, and Yö ja Päivä—each delivered performances of Eurovision-related songs, incorporating clues and elaborate costumes aligned with the international song contest motif. Luuranko performed "Sata salamaa," Vicky Rosti's 1987 Finnish Eurovision entry, delivering a high-energy rock rendition that showcased vocal power and stage presence. Metsäpeikko followed with "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak, Norway's 2009 winning song, bringing a whimsical, folk-infused interpretation that emphasized the mask's playful forest troll persona. Yö ja Päivä sang "Tattoo" by Loreen, Sweden's 2023 Eurovision victor, in a dramatic and emotive style that highlighted the dual-sided mask's contrasting night and day elements. Pesukarhu took the stage with "Hard Rock Hallelujah" by Lordi, Finland's iconic 2006 winning track, featuring theatrical monster-themed staging and humorous clues referencing the mask's mischievous raccoon character. Kakka's performance rounded out the main segment, adhering to the Eurovision theme with a bold and entertaining delivery, though specific song details emphasized the contest's diverse musical legacy rather than individual metrics. The panel, consisting of host Ilkka Uusivuori, Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Jenni Poikelus, Benjamin Peltonen, and guest Silvennoinen, provided guesses based on vocal timbre, clues involving travel and performance history, and thematic ties to Eurovision events.[288][289] Following the performances, studio audience votes determined the elimination, with Pesukarhu receiving the fewest votes and advancing to the unmasking. The panel's guesses included Eppu Salminen (by Veitola and Peltonen), Mikael Forsby (by Silvennoinen and Kataja), and a correct prediction of Constantinos "Gogi" Mavromichalis by Poikelus. Pesukarhu was revealed as Mavromichalis, a Greek-Finnish television presenter known for hosting shows like Gogi's Kitchen. In post-reveal interviews, Mavromichalis described the experience as "one of the strangest things I've ever done" but ultimately liberating and enjoyable, noting the physical challenges of the costume and the thrill of anonymity. This elimination left four contestants—Metsäpeikko, Yö ja Päivä, Luuranko, and Kakka—advancing to the semifinals. The episode underscored the show's blend of mystery, music, and cultural nods to Eurovision, drawing strong viewer engagement with its thematic focus.[288][289]Week 11 (9 November) – Duets
In the eleventh episode of Masked Singer Suomi season 6, aired on 9 November 2024, the remaining four contestants—Kakka, Luuranko, Metsäpeikko, and Yö ja Päivä—performed duets alongside celebrity guests, marking the semifinals. The episode introduced a special non-competing masked guest, Usko Dindulaatti, who dueted with panelist Benjamin Peltonen on "Paremmin ku kukaan muu" by Bess; the character's identity was revealed immediately afterward as actress Kiti Kokkonen.[290][291] The duets emphasized collaboration, with each contestant paired with a prominent Finnish artist or performer.

Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the panel consisted of Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Benjamin Peltonen, and Jenni Poikelus, who provided guesses based on clues accumulated throughout the season.[298] The finalists were Luuranko (Skeleton), Yö ja päivä (Night & Day), and Metsäpeikko (Forest Troll).[299] Each performed at least one song in the finale, with Metsäpeikko delivering a rendition of "Spooky Scary Skeletons" by Andrew Gold, adapted to fit the character's whimsical forest theme.[300] The performances emphasized emotional delivery and stage presence, building on the contestants' previous showings, though specific songs for the other finalists were not publicly detailed in episode recaps beyond their thematic alignment with the characters' identities.[301] Following the performances and voting, Luuranko was the first unmasked, revealed as blues guitarist and singer Erja Lyytinen, placing third. Yö ja päivä, unmasked next as veteran pop singer Arja Koriseva, finished as runner-up. Metsäpeikko was crowned the season's winner and unmasked last as Atte Kilpinen, a principal soloist dancer and choreographer with the Finnish National Ballet, marking the first time a non-singer from the performing arts background claimed victory in the show's history.[302] Kilpinen expressed surprise at the win, noting in post-show interviews that he never expected to succeed in a singing competition given his dance-focused career.[62] The finale drew 680,000 viewers, contributing to the season's strong ratings on MTV3. It concluded the main competition, though a Christmas special aired later on 23 November 2024 with additional reveals.Season 7

Masked Singer Suomi: Pelastakaa Lasten joulu (23 November 2024)
The Masked Singer Suomi: Pelastakaa Lasten joulu was a one-off charity special episode of the Finnish reality singing competition series, aired on 23 November 2024 at 19:30 EET on MTV3 and available on MTV Katsomo.[320] Produced in collaboration with the Finnish branch of Save the Children (Pelastakaa Lapset), the episode aimed to raise awareness and funds for underprivileged families during the holiday season, featuring real stories of supported children and families to highlight the charity's mission of preventing child poverty and exclusion.[321] Unlike the competitive format of the main series, this holiday-themed installment emphasized festive entertainment and philanthropy, with no permanent eliminations and all participants unmasked by the end.[17] Hosted by Ilkka "Ile" Uusivuori, the special retained the core panel of investigators: Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Jenni "Jenspa" Poikelus, and Benjamin Peltonen, who provided guesses based on performances and clues presented in video packages.[322] A unique twist involved three entirely new Christmas-inspired masks—Joulukuusi (Christmas Tree), Lumiukko (Snowman), and Poro (Reindeer)—portrayed by celebrity guests who performed holiday songs.[17] The episode incorporated light competition elements through viewer voting, crowning a winner without eliminations affecting the charity focus, and encouraged donations via on-screen prompts tied to the Pelastakaa Lasten joulukeräys (Christmas fundraiser).[321] In the first round, the masks performed original Christmas tracks with clues hinting at their identities through thematic visuals and personal anecdotes. Lumiukko sang "Talven ihmemaa" by Laila Kinnunen, Joulukuusi performed "Last Christmas" by Wham!, and Poro delivered "Walking in the Air" by Howard Blake in falsetto.[322] For the second round, Lumiukko returned with "Joulun kanssas jaan" by Paula Koivuniemi, while Poro offered a heavy metal rendition of the Finnish classic "Petteri Punakuono."[322] Joulukuusi was the first to unmask, revealing singer Alma Hätönen, followed by Lumiukko as singer Laura Voutilainen, who placed as runner-up.[322] The episode concluded with Poro unmasking as singer and radio host Olli Herman, who won the viewer vote and surprised the panel with his versatile performance style.[322] The special generated buzz for its joyful tone and charitable impact, supporting Save the Children's efforts to aid over 50,000 children annually in Finland.[323]| Mask | Performer | Round 1 Song | Round 2 Song (if applicable) | Result |
