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.

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.
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:

This is … super gay
Nothing gay about it. It’s just a game you play with a bunch of naked sweaty men in a small room. Saunas are super hetero.
