For 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 Ivarβs 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, youβll 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 Englandβs 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!

This room was very cool! We loved that there were no combination or key locks. Everything that unlocked to get you to the next step was magnetic/mechanical. The puzzles were cool and some were challenging in a unique way. We barely escaped π π«£ but such a cool experience!

Difficult room with some interesting puzzles. No locks but needs lots of outside the box thinking. We had fun!

Hi Idoeyes1! Viking Raid sure does need out-of-the-box thinking! We are happy to hear you had fun! When I played this room for the first time, it was the hardest one for me, even though it is ranked as our easiest! I am a logical thinker, so our right-brained rooms always throw me for a loop, haha. Thank you for your time, and we hope to host you again in the future!

Difficult puzzles for me but I was with a crew of people that were able to solve things.
Lighting is a bit dark but they let you use your cell phone flashlight. They ask you to turn it off when not being used as it can affect the experience otherwise.
Impressive
GMs understand context and offer great restaurant recommendations.

Another fun and successful night at Encrypted. The staff are great and the rooms are unique and challenging. Another great date night!
Non-linear and challenging.
Great use of props. Fun to solve with AND use for photos after.
We love the staff at Encrypted!

Probably better with 4, but accomplished the room with just two.

Awesome set design, props, and special effects. Truly immersive experience!
Our GM was wonderful! Weβre so appreciative.

We really enjoyed this room. Itβs easier than Bikerβs 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 Iβd say that thatβs 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.
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.
At encrypted the sets are always wonderful and this room was no exception
Not scary
I donβt think there was anything that really spooked my group
