You do not use the navigation controller at all, so I would say that self.navigationController- nil.
You can use unwinding. Therefore, in the root view controller, add this method:
@IBAction func unwindToRoot(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
print("successfully unwound")
}
Then, in your scene, the scoreboard from which you want to relax, you can control- step back from the button to exit "exit":

, :

"-", .
, , :

segue segue :

segue, :
performSegueWithIdentifier("UnwindToRoot", sender: self)
