A Race Against Time
Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. You've been tasked with completing various errands in his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment. Can you complete his requests in time?
This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated environment, and use your wits to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his hall house, gaining insights into daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. Key tasks include:
- Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire, remembering that some garments require medieval-style cleaning or drying.
- Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring ink preparation and finding the right phrasing.
- Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's multiple floors.
