Escape the 15th Century: A Digital Escape Room Adventure

Step into the historically accurate digital escape room, "Dielenhaus Adventure – The Merchant's Quest," and experience life as a Hanseatic merchant in 1475. This immersive game, akin to an interactive museum visit, blends engaging puzzles with fascinating historical facts you won't find in textbooks.

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 several errands within his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment. Can you succeed?

Historical Challenges

This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within a historically recreated environment, and use your wit to keep the merchant on schedule. The game focuses on three key tasks:

• 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 appropriate formulation.
• Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's multiple floors.

Educational Gameplay and Digital Museum Experience

Developed in collaboration with local historians, "Dielenhaus Adventure" is part of the European Hansemuseum Lübeck's digital offerings. It emphasizes fact-based fiction, providing playful learning about daily life, architecture, and work in the Hanseatic region, drawing parallels to modern times.

The app is suitable for individual play at home or guided classroom use, offering engaging insights into 15th-century life. It's particularly useful for teaching media literacy and critical analysis of historical sources. The fun, action-oriented approach facilitates discussions about medieval life and aligns with secondary school curricula.
