Step into a 15th-century Hanseatic merchant's house with "Dielenhaus Adventure – The Merchant's Quest," an immersive escape room experience. This digital escape room lets you solve engaging puzzles and learn about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475 – a fun, interactive museum visit packed with fascinating historical details you won't find in any textbook!
Unravel the Mystery:
Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. You've been tasked with various errands around his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment. In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items in the historically accurate setting, and use your wits to keep the merchant on schedule. Explore his house and discover insights into his professional and personal life in the Hanseatic region.
The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Assemble the Merchant's Outfit: Carefully select the appropriate clothing, remembering that some items may require medieval-style cleaning or drying.
- Draft a Crucial Letter: You'll need to prepare ink and find the right wording.
- Manage Goods Delivery: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's different floors.
