Abenteuer Dielenhaus

Step into a historically accurate escape room set within the 15th-century home of a Hanseatic merchant! "Dielenhaus Adventure - The Merchant's Quest" offers an authentic digital escape room experience. Solve engaging puzzles and learn about the daily life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around 1475. Think of it as a fun, interactive museum visit packed with fascinating historical details you won't find in any textbook!

A Story of Mystery and Commerce

Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg is preparing for a crucial council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He needs your help with various tasks in his grand hall house. The catch? You have bowling plans in 30 minutes, so you'll need to work quickly!

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 historically-researched hall house and discover details about his professional and personal life in the Hanseatic League. The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Assemble the merchant's attire: But be careful! Some garments require medieval-style cleaning or drying before they're ready.
• Draft an important letter: You'll need to prepare ink and find the right writing materials.
• Manage goods delivery: Use a cargo crane to distribute goods across the house's different floors.

Developed in collaboration with local historians, it blends fact-based fiction with playful knowledge transfer about daily life, architecture, and work in the Hanseatic region, drawing parallels to modern times.

The app is perfect for individual play at home or classroom use under teacher supervision, providing an engaging glimpse into 15th-century life. It's particularly suitable for teaching media literacy and critical analysis of historical sources. Its action-oriented and fun approach encourages discussion about life in the Middle Ages and aligns with secondary school curricula.
