Brilliant room! The theming was just magical and so much fun. First game as a two so a bit nervous but a good escape, other than a minor tech issue which was explained brilliantly and resolved by the hosts who made up for it with their clear expertise about escape rooms. Would recommend to others and would love to play other rooms here.

Most puzzles are quite straightforward. One puzzle in particular didn’t work due to the tech. We had the correct solution but tried several different ways. No intervention from host until we asked which was frustrating.

One of those rooms which sadly does not work unless you really go for it with regards to the theming. Sadly putting a few viking items on the walls does not cut it. A shame.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Viking Valhalla is a fun room that’s worth visiting whilst in York purely for the connection to York’s rich Viking history. We had fun playing it on a rainy Sunday morning before taking a trip to the Viking Centre to round off the theme. The room itself was fairly average and may not challenge an enthusiast, but may be just the perfect place to take your Puggle (Puzzle Muggle) friends in the area.

Having visited the Jorvik attraction in York we were keen to stick with the Viking theme and find a Viking themed Escape Room. Luckily we came across Viking Valhalla....
