The building of St. Michael’s Church was constructed in 1531 and it was used as an almshouse. After the Great Northern War, it was turned into a church for the Swedish congregation. The church, which was used as a gymnasium for weightlifters, wrestlers, etc. during the Soviet era, was restored and reconsecrated in 2002. Due to its excellent acoustics, the church is a popular concert venue. It also houses the church museum of Estonian Swedes.

One tour lasts up to 1.5 hours. The size of the group is 15–25 people.
Participants can practise listening (listening to the guide) and speaking in Estonian (asking questions from the guide), as well as increase their cultural and historical awareness in Estonian.

Mafia is a well-known party game that requires at least seven people, a deck of cards, and a quiet room where everyone can sit and see each other. There are two sides in the game – the villagers and the mafia. The goal of the mafia is to kill enough people to gain a majority over the other side, and everyone else’s goal is to figure out who the mafia is and kill them. The game is led by a game master, who is not one of the participants. The course of the game is divided into two parts: night and day. The mafia, the police, and the doctors operate by night, and during the day everyone has to vote on who will be executed on suspicion of mafia involvement, as a result of debate and defence.
The game is simple and requires no special preparation or prior practice. The game of Mafia requires attention, logic, and people skills. Come to an enjoyable evening in a relaxed atmosphere to communicate in Estonian.

Will you find the gold or will the saboteurs get there before you? The player with the most gold by the end of the third round wins.
