You could use the userData instance property of your next scene to store the current scene, something like:

nextScene.userData = NSMutableDictionary()
nextScene.userData?.setObject(actualScore, forKey: "actualScore" as NSCopying)

if let actualScore = self.userData?.value(forKey: "actualScore") {
    print("well done!, the score was: \(actualScore)")
