A Thrilling Mystery Unfolds

Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. He's tasked you with several errands in his grand hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling date with friends – so you'll need to hustle!

In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated setting, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his historically-researched hall house and discover insights into the daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. Your main tasks include:

• Assembling the merchant's attire. Be mindful: some garments require medieval-style cleaning or drying.
• Drafting an important letter, requiring ink preparation and appropriate phrasing.
• Distributing delivered goods across the house's floors using a cargo crane.
