Seems pretty obvious: it’s the person under the bench who is the gollum (?). Not sure they thought this through.
The game is to try and pretend you don’t have a finger up your ass (if the gollum has their finger up your ass). Then everyone takes turns looking around and figuring out who actually has a finger up their ass, so they call the bluff of the person who is pretending to not have a finger up their ass.
If you guess correctly, you get to be the gollum whom is immune to having a finger up their ass.
They have to guess which one of them has the gollums finger up their ass, not who is fingering ass
Gollum puts his finger in the ass of the victim and tries to make them squirm. Then everyone tries to guess who the victim is by going one at a time, in order. If they guess correctly Gollum wins and goes again, if they guess wrong then the victim wins and becomes Gollum. There is strategy in who you pick if you’re Gollum, if you pick someone too early in the order they might be able to hold their composure. If your pick someone too late then people have more chances to guess the wrong person before they get to the victim.
It’s a lot like Among Us except everyone is naked and one of the crewmates has a finger in his ass.
Man flights to Finland are too expensive, got to start a local league
Try convincing people to stay completely naked with other unknown dudes in an extremely hot room
Really hope this isn’t fake and gay, and just gay
No, it’s very real. They even sell rank badges, which are apparently sold out at the moment:

Sauna Gollum is a delightful Finnish party game. The person chosen as Sauna Gollum goes under the sauna benches to poke the people sitting on them from underneath. The first one to stand up becomes the new Sauna Gollum. Great game among naked friends. Since the game is very demanding, you will start at the candidate stage and work your way to the esteemed Sauna Gollum rank through rigorous training.

Sticking his finger in your ring huh? My prescious indeed 😂
My contribution to the discussion is that the Greek phrase for “(in) my ass”, if said in a hasty/hillbilly way, sounds pretty similar to Gollum. Might even call in to question the true nationality of this game’s visionary inventor.
I would like to know the Greek phrase plox
(στον) κώλο μου / (ston) kolo mou. Ideally spoken, with an accent close to the dude in the middle:

I hate and love this post, as Gollum hates and love The Ring and himself
And I thought they had weird pranks here in Japan.
Are you sure it ISN’T a Japanese game show?
I’m kind of curious as to how the hobbit and lord of the rings were translated into Finnish now
All I can tell you is there’s a lot more fingers in assholes in the Finnish version
Perkele!
