Story and Mystery

Meet Jürgen, a merchant from the Hanseatic family of Knoggeburg, who is gearing up for an upcoming council meeting. With time being money and business needing to move forward, he has entrusted you with various tasks within his hall house. However, you've got a bowling date with friends in just 30 minutes, so you'll need to be quick! In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items in a historically-recreated room, and use your razor-sharp wits to keep the merchant happy on time. Explore his source-based hall house and learn more about everyday professional and private life in the Hanseatic region.

Your focus will be on the following three tasks:

• Put together the appropriate wardrobe for the merchant. Be careful, though—some items of clothing need to be cleaned or dried beforehand in the medieval way.
• Draft an important letter, for which you'll need to stir up ink and find suitable formulations.
• Distribute delivered goods across the different floors of the house using a cargo crane.
