Abenteuer Dielenhaus

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 lets you playfully solve puzzles and learn about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475 – a unique blend of interactive museum visit and exciting historical facts.

Unravel the Mystery:

Merchant Jürgen from the Knoggeburg family needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. You've been tasked with completing various jobs in his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment! In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items within the historically accurate setting, and use your wits to keep the merchant on schedule. Explore his hall house and uncover details about daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region.

The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Dressing the Merchant: Assemble the correct attire, remembering to clean or dry some items using medieval methods.
• Crafting a Letter: Create an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find suitable writing materials.
• Distributing Goods: Use a cargo crane to move delivered goods between the house's floors.
