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.

Wait what?
It’s a 4chan thing where someone answers to a “true story” that it’s fake and gay, just like the “this is a Bangladeshi knitting forum”
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
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:

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.
The real game is to guess wrongly. Nobody wants a stinky finger.
Anyway, the game is broken because whoever has a finger in their asshole has probably noticed and is able to guess right or wrong depending on taste.
It doesn’t work with mixed genders either. Nobody is going to poke uncle Juha when stepsister Aino is also there.
So, it’s not much of game, but just a regular gay time.

Wait…
I was following up until this point.
I thought the point of being the gollum was you get to put your finger in someone’s ass, not that you don’t get to have one in yours
That would certainly make sense, yes. I admit my information may not be 100% accurate, maybe we should get some hands-on experience
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
