How to play

Helheim is dark and only the light of your torch shows the way. Drag a finger (or use the arrows) to walk. Reach the door before time runs out. Each ember you pick up gives more time and more light.

The story behind it

In the Prose Edda, Hermóðr rides nine nights in the dark until he reaches the bridge Gjallarbrú. The maze is made up for the game. Read the story in Hel and Helheim: the queen of the dead who lived in a house where Hunger was the plate.
