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 playfully solve puzzles and learn about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475 – a unique digital museum visit with engaging facts.
A Story of Mystery and Commerce
Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. Your task is to complete various assignments in his hall house before your bowling appointment in 30 minutes. This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically accurate setting, and use your wit to ensure the merchant meets his deadline. Explore his house, learning about his professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. Three key tasks await:
- Assemble the Merchant's Attire: Carefully select and prepare (cleaning and drying, medieval-style) the correct clothing for the merchant.
- Compose a Crucial Letter: Create an important letter, requiring you to locate ink and appropriate writing materials.
- Manage Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods throughout the house's multiple floors.
