A Tale of Intrigue and Timely Tasks
Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. He's assigned you various tasks in his hall house, but you've got a bowling date in 30 minutes! This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated environment, and use your wits to ensure the merchant meets his deadline. Explore his historically-researched home and learn about daily life, both professional and personal, in the Hanseatic region. Three key tasks await:
- Assemble the Merchant's Attire: Carefully select the correct clothing, remembering that some items need medieval-style cleaning or drying before use.
- Compose a Crucial Letter: You'll need to prepare ink and find suitable writing materials.
- Manage Goods Delivery: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's various floors.
