Heimland Games

The Heimland Games are a set of activities that players may take part in with their friends in the Land of Snow. Sections include ice skating, snowman building, snowball fights, and even seal sliding. To get there you must step into a Christmas cupboard or be teleported there by Thorvar after completing the 2010 Christmas event. This activity was released on 20 December.

Some people from the world of Gielinor are also here, including a drunk Sir Amik Varze, Manni the Reveller, Olaf the Bard, Brundt the Chieftain, Swensen the Navigator, Thorvald the Warrior, General Wartface, General Bentnoze, Thok, Master of Dungeoneering, and the Rewards trader.

In the Heimland Gameland, building a snowman is just one of the games. In this game, you collect the snow then build your snowman and it goes and walks around. You can also use your snow globe from the 2007 Christmas event to quickly create a lot of snow for building.

Ice skating is another activity in the Heimland Games, it's easy, just click around the rink and skate.

Another game you can play while in the Heimland Games, is snowball fight. Just gather snow and click "throw" then click a player. You can also take them outside the portal. But they may "melt" after the event is over. You can also use your snow globe from the 2007 Christmas event to rapidly restore your snowballs.

Like during the third floor of the 2010 Christmas event, you can slide around as a seal. It's fun and you can score points!

Trivia
"Brundt the Chieftain: I'm glad! Everybody has been laughing at me. When it's dark, I can see where I'm going because of my nose glowing. Then we'll see who has the best nose!"
 * If you have a pet penguin from the summoning skill, and talk to it in the land of snow, it will say "I'm much too warm here." even though it is surounded by snow and ice, its natural habitat.
 * The previous Message of the Week, "Heim crabs are for life, not just for Christmas!" was likely a hint as to the upcoming Christmas event.
 * If you talk to Manni the Reveller east of the snowman field, he'll think that you've come to challenge him to a drinking contest. If you are a free-to-play player you will simply respond with "Why would I do that?" If you are/were a member and completed The Fremennik Trials, you will respond with "Oh no, I'm not doing that again!" and Manni will call you by your Fremennik name in both P2P and F2P servers. Olaf the Bard and the other men from Rellekka who are standing near the east gate will also call you by your Fremennik name if you select the right responses.
 * On the snowman building game, there is a glitch when you stand on an incomplete snowman, some parts of you will go through it.
 * The Heimland Games are a reference to the Highland Games held in Scotland.
 * If you talk to Brundt the Chieftain, he will say "There is a great wolf living in the hills. It visits towns and villages, preying on the young, the weak, and the elderly. But, of course, this is not a story for such a merry time of year!" This could be a hint at a future quest in 2011.
 * Though you may have the Ice amulet, you will not be able to summon your snow imp.
 * While you may use the Squirrel ears to summon the little fiends, your squirrel(s) will prevent you from building snow men.
 * Also, if you talk to Brundt the Chieftain, if you say "I like your nose", a reference to Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, you are told:
