Your Viking clan sits unprotected from the wrath of the Ice Giants. Only the Norse gods can save you now.
Step into a legendary age of gods and monsters, where your peaceful Viking village is being threatened by an invasion of spine-chilling Ice Giants.
With your warriors away you donโ€™t stand a chance in a fight, so in desperation you journey to the banqueting hall of the gods to throw yourself on their mercy and beg for help.
But when you enter your heart sinks โ€“ Thor, Loki and the other Norse gods are nowhere to be seen. With just one hour before the Ice Giants destroy your village, can you work together to summon the gods and gain their protection?
Take too long and the Vikings will be no more.

We were in Reading where there are so many great games, but we couldn't get into any of them.  Despite our misgivings we thought we'd give another Escape Hunt game a try - after all, it couldn't be that bad, could it?  It was.So many broken props and puzzles.  So many gaps where it was obvious something should have been there. A GM who didn't keep up with play.

Failed to get out because the GM kept missing what we had put where in the room. Utter shambles of a room (and GM).

We got off to a bad start when we arrived 15 mins before our game time but werenโ€™t shown to our room until 15 mins after our start time. Our GM appeared to turn up late then had to go and prepare our room. Once inside puzzles were illogical, tech was broken and we felt stuck continuously. Not enjoyable in the slightest and for experienced players this felt like an overpriced game with very little in the way of puzzles and lacked any flow leaving us extremely frustrated at every turn.
