Ikea names follow a strict system — beds and wardrobes get Norwegian place names, sofas get Swedish places, and Ingvar Kamprad chose the system because his dyslexia made numbers hard. The result is a flood of vaguely Scandinavian-sounding names that overlap awkwardly with the gods, giants, and creatures of Norse mythology. Skadi or Skogsta? Hemnes or Hel? Time to find out.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll cover Ikea's naming system (place names, occupations, plant names), iconic products like Billy, Malm, Pax, and Poäng, the gods of the Aesir and Vanir, the realms of Yggdrasil, and the central figures of the Eddas — all jumbled together for maximum confusion.
Hemnes is a real municipality in Nordland county, Norway. Ikea uses it as the name for an entire range of white painted bedroom and living-room furniture, in keeping with their convention of naming bedroom furniture after Norwegian places.
Heimdall is the Norse god who guards the rainbow bridge Bifröst, which connects Asgard to Midgard. He has incredibly acute senses and will sound the Gjallarhorn at the start of Ragnarök.
Founder Ingvar Kamprad was dyslexic and found numerical product codes confusing. He developed a categorized naming system using Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish place names, plus everyday Swedish words for plants, occupations, and rivers, organized by product type.
