Step into a 15th-century Hanseatic merchant's house with the escape room game, "Dielenhaus Adventure - The Merchant's Quest." This digital escape room experience lets you solve engaging puzzles while learning about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475. Think of it as an interactive museum visit, packed with fascinating historical details you won't find in textbooks!

A Time-Sensitive Mystery

Merchant Jürgen from the Knoggeburg Hanseatic family needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. He's tasked you with several jobs in his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment with friends – so you'll need to hurry!

This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically accurate setting, and use your wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his hall house, learning about his professional and personal life in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire, remembering that some garments require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
• Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find suitable writing materials.
• Cargo Distribution: Use a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the different floors of the house.
