Step into a historically accurate escape room set in the 15th-century home of a Hanseatic merchant! "Dielenhaus Adventure – The Merchant's Quest" offers an authentic digital escape room experience. Solve intriguing puzzles and playfully learn about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475 – a digital, interactive museum visit filled with fascinating facts you won't find in any textbook!
A Story of Mystery and Commerce:
Merchant Jürgen from the Knoggeburg Hanseatic family is preparing for an important council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He's tasked you with various duties in his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment with friends – you'll need to hurry!
In this educational game, solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated room, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his historically-researched hall house and learn about daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Assemble the merchant's attire: Be mindful; some clothing items require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
- Draft a crucial letter: You'll need to create ink and find appropriate writing materials.
- Manage goods delivery: Use a cargo crane to distribute goods across the house's floors.
