14. Historiapelit

Introduction

We sell self-made board games set in Finnish history. We produce our games entirely ourselves, starting from the initial idea and content design.

The philosophy behind our games is to present history in an accessible format for players of all ages. Our typical customers are grandparents and parents looking for meaningful shared activities for the whole family, though young adults enjoy our games as well. We are a family business where both parents and children actively take part in operations.

Our traditional board games are printed locally in the Helsinki metropolitan area, making them truly local products! We have created games around themes such as Finland, Helsinki, Suomenlinna, Töölö, the King’s Road, Savo, Karelia, the Ox Road of Häme, the Tuusulanjärven artist community, and Sibelius. Rather than testing historical knowledge, our games encourage players to explore history together while perhaps discovering stories from their own family’s heritage.

Sustainability is a part of our daily routine. Our history games have been awarded the Avainlippu symbol, recognizing Finnish expertise as well as responsible and transparent production.
