STORY AND MYSTERY
Merchant Jürgen from the Hanseatic Knoggeburg family is preparing for an important council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He needs your help to complete several tasks in his hall house before your bowling appointment with friends in 30 minutes. In this educational game, solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated room, and use your wit to keep the merchant on schedule. Explore his historically-researched hall house and learn about daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Assemble the merchant's appropriate wardrobe. Remember, some garments require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
- Draft an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find the correct formulation.
- Distribute delivered goods across the house's floors using a cargo crane.
