A Historical Mystery:
Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help preparing for a crucial council meeting. With only 30 minutes before your bowling appointment, you must complete his tasks quickly! This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically accurate setting, and use your wit to keep the merchant on schedule. Explore his hall house and discover details of daily life, both professional and personal, in the Hanseatic region. Three key tasks await:
- Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire, remembering that some garments require medieval cleaning or drying methods.
- Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find suitable writing materials.
- Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's various floors.
