Application Description

If you're intrigued by history, then the Dielenhaus Adventure – The Merchant's Quest is the perfect escape room experience for you! Step into the shoes of a 15th-century Hanseatic merchant’s assistant and uncover the secrets of life during this fascinating period. Set in a historically accurate house, this digital adventure combines education with excitement as you solve puzzles and learn about everyday life in the Hanseatic region.

STORY AND MYSTERY

The merchant Jürgen von Knoggeburg is preparing for a council meeting, and time is ticking! He needs your help to complete essential tasks before you meet friends for bowling in 30 minutes. Will you manage to keep him happy on time? Solve puzzles, combine historical items, and use your wit to excel in three key challenges:

• Assemble the appropriate wardrobe for the merchant, ensuring some garments are cleaned or dried in medieval fashion.
• Draft an important letter, stirring up ink and finding the right formulations.
• Distribute goods across different floors of the house using a cargo crane.
