How to play

Drag your finger (or mouse) over the knots in the hair to untangle them. When the last knot is gone, Harald gets his crown. There is no timer and no failing: it is a relaxing game.

The story behind it

According to Snorri Sturluson’s Heimskringla, Harald swore not to cut or comb his hair until he ruled Norway; after Hafrsfjord, Rögnvald combed it and he got his nickname. Historians treat the scene with caution, and the game simplifies it. Read the story in Harald Fairhair: the king who swore not to cut his hair until he united Norway.
