The Vikings are taking over Europe. They have conquered your town and you are their prisoner. They are now on their way to York. You overheard them say they will invade York in 60 minutes. You have just enough time to escape and warn York of the impending attack. Hurry! or centuries the Vikings have ruled the seas of Northern Europe, pillaging and plundering and now England is next. It is the fall of 866 and the Vikings, led by Ivar the Boneless, are planning an attack on unsuspecting York. King Ivar’s army is 6000 strong with 270 ships. If York is taken, the rest of England will fall under Viking rule. Your town of Scarborough was ransacked yesterday and along with the other captured, you’ll be sold as slaves. They are now on their way to York. You must find a way to escape and get word of the impending Viking Raid to York. This is England’s last chance to repel the Vikings and for you to get your freedom back. We overheard the soldiers say that the attack would commence in 60 minutes. You must hurry!

We really enjoyed this room. It’s easier than Biker’s Revenge, but still had some challenging puzzles and the flow was better. The set design and ambiance is fantastic. We appreciate the soundtracks of the games at Encrypted, too.

I had a group of 4 and I’d say that that’s a good group size for an experienced group, I would say anything up to 7 would fit the room well especially if you have experience. We had a great time and the puzzles really promoted thinking and were very teamwork based. We loved it.
Gameplay
Some of the mechanics were new to me and really awesome to experience, we had a lot of fun on the heavy team work puzzles.
Atmosphere
At encrypted the sets are always wonderful and this room was no exception

This room was great and had some special aspects that made the game particularly interesting. Out of all of the room certain quickly the scape this would not be the first I would recommend but it is definitely a must play if you’re in the area. The staff were friendly and kind and really cared about how the customer felt in the space. I would definitely recommend going to encrypted escape for all of their rooms including this one.
