Step into a historically accurate escape room within 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 circa 1475 – essentially, a digital, interactive museum visit filled with fascinating historical details you won't find in any textbook.

A Story of Mystery and Commerce

Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg is preparing for a crucial council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He's tasked you with various errands within his grand hall house. The catch? You have bowling plans in 30 minutes, so you need to hurry!

This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated environment, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his historically-researched hall house and delve into the everyday professional and private lives of people in the Hanseatic region.

The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire. However, some garments require medieval-style cleaning or drying beforehand.
• Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring you to mix ink and find suitable writing materials.
• Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's multiple floors.
