Sáivu

Sáivu is a game based on Sámi culture. You play through the eight Sámi seasons, completing a challenge in each one. Completing a challenge earns you a gift to offer at the offering stone when you are ready to move on to the next season.

The eight seasons

The challenges include building and furnishing a lavvo, joiking to different animals, helping a shaman make medicine, fighting supernatural beings, hunting, catching reindeer with a lasso, making duodji from skin, yarn and horn, and ice fishing through a hole in the ice.

Some challenges can benefit from playing the available helper games first. For example, a joik memory game teaches you different joiks, while stories explain how to fight the supernatural beings. The game ends with a quiz about what you have learned throughout it.
