MindLock Escape Rooms York Viking Valhalla & Cluedo Review: November 2018
Located in the heart of York city centre, opposite Clifford’s Tower, MindLock Escape Rooms, offers a unique and immersive experience. Games are designed for 2 – 6 players and offer a variety of fabulous fun themes. Your team must escape within 60 minutes. Ryan our games master on the day was amazing!!
Feel and embrace your inner Viking as you take on the Viking Valhalla room. Your strong army of Vikings have battled courageously to earn their right to be dining with the Gods in Valhalla, but upon awakening your hord are in limbo. Please the gods, like we did, and crack the critical tasks to earn your place alongside them in Valhalla where Thor and Odin await your Viking army.
Trapped within the office of a large lavish mansion house, a killer running wild, whodunit? Well that is up to you and your team of detectives to work out in the killer game Cluedo. Ask yourselves Who, What and Where – identify the killer, find the murder weapon and location of the crime before your 60 minutes countdown ends and the murderer returns to the house to finish you off too.
However, a word of warning eliminate your suspects carefully, as there are a few cheeky red herrings thrown in along the way to sabotage your investigations and dash your hopes of finding the murderer.
Viking or Detective, can’t decide, well why not take on both challenges at Mindlock York.
Thank you for reading 😊
