A Thrilling Historical Mystery

Merchant Jürgen from the Knoggeburg Hanseatic family is preparing for a crucial council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He needs your help with various tasks in his grand hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment – so you'll need to hurry!

In this educational game, solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated environment, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his historically-sourced hall house and delve into the details of daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. Focus on these key tasks:

• Assemble the merchant's appropriate attire. Be cautious: some garments require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
• Draft an important letter, requiring ink preparation and suitable phrasing.
• Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's various floors.
