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.

quite easy

Nothing really too much to say about this one. Fairly simple in gameplay. Easy enough puzzles albeit some fairly similar maths type puzzles, but a playable room to kill some time

I didn’t enjoy this room. I just couldn’t get in to a flow. Nothing necessarily bad, just for me the flow wasn’t great.

quite easy

I didn't really get the flow of the room. Seemed to be a bit to do that just didn't seem fun. Puzzles worked but was a little tedious completing them.

Lots of number/Maths based puzzles. Got a little repetitive. 

Good theming throughout.

Great Viking theme and some tricky puzzles. We really enjoyed this room and there was plenty to keep us occupied.

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....
