How to play

Look at the tool the family brings and tap the right house (or use keys 1, 2 and 3). There are twelve families; three mistakes end the game.

The story behind it

In the poem Rígsþula, the god Rígr, identified with Heimdall, visits three houses and founds three social groups. The families in the game are made up. Read the story in Rígsþula: how Heimdall, in disguise, visited three houses and gave rise to the orders of society.
