About Somali Games Hub

Welcome to Somali Games Hub, your digital home for traditional Somali cultural games. We are dedicated to preserving, sharing, and celebrating the rich heritage of Somali games while making them accessible to players around the world.

Our Mission

Our mission is to preserve Somali culture and create free games online that bring people together. We believe that traditional games like Taraq, Tuug iyo Askari, and other Somali social games are more than just entertainment—they are living artifacts of Somali culture, bridges between generations, and tools for community building.

Through our platform, we aim to:

• Preserve traditional Somali games for future generations
• Make these games accessible to Somalis worldwide, including diaspora communities
• Provide free, high-quality gaming experiences that honor cultural traditions
• Foster community connections through shared gaming experiences
• Educate players about the cultural significance of Somali games

Our Games

We offer a variety of traditional Somali games, each with its own unique history and cultural significance:

Taraq

A strategic matchbox game that has been played in Somalia for generations. Taraq blends chance, skill, and social strategy.

Tuug iyo Askari

A Somali twist on Mafia/Werewolf — a game of deduction, teamwork, and clever thinking.

Word Games and More

We also develop word games and cultural learning games to help preserve Somali language and humor.

Cultural Preservation

Somali Games Hub serves as a digital archive and living platform for these cultural treasures. Our goal is to make these games accessible globally.

• Younger generations can learn games they never saw in Somalia
• Diaspora can reconnect to Somali culture
• Anyone worldwide can enjoy Somali traditions

Free and Accessible

All games on Somali Games Hub are 100% free. Culture should never be locked behind a paywall.

Community and Connection

Games bring people together. Our platform helps players:

• Play with friends and family
• Learn cultural history
• Connect with Somali communities around the world
• Participate in a living tradition

Looking Forward

We plan to expand with more games, better features, mobile apps, and educational tools — while always respecting Somali cultural traditions.
