Abenteuer Dielenhaus

Step into a historically accurate escape room set in 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 around 1475. Think of it as an interactive museum visit packed with fascinating historical details you won't find in any textbook!

A Thrilling Historical Mystery

Merchant Jürgen from the Knoggeburg Hanseatic family is preparing for a crucial council meeting. Time is of the essence, and business must proceed! He's tasked you with various duties in his grand hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment with friends – so you'll need to hustle!

In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated room, 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 life of the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire, but be mindful: some clothing items require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
• Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring ink preparation and suitable formulations.
• Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's different floors.
