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 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 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 within his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment with friends. In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items in the historically accurate setting, and use your wits to ensure the merchant meets his deadline. Explore his home and uncover details about his professional and private life in the Hanseatic region.
The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Assemble the merchant's attire: Be mindful; some garments require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
- Draft a vital letter: You'll need to prepare ink and find appropriate writing materials.
- Manage goods delivery: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute goods across the house's floors.
