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 game lets you solve engaging puzzles while playfully learning about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475. Think of it as a fun, interactive museum visit packed with fascinating historical details you won't find in textbooks!
A Thrilling Historical 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 duties in his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment with friends – so you'll need to be quick!
This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically accurate setting, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant on schedule. Explore his hall house, learning about daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire, but be mindful: some clothing needs medieval-style cleaning or drying beforehand.
- Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find appropriate formulations.
- Cargo Distribution: Use a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the different floors of the house.
