A Tale of Time and Trade

Merchant Jürgen from the Knoggeburg Hanseatic family is preparing for a crucial council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He needs your help with several tasks in his hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment – so hurry! In this educational game, solve puzzles, combine items in the historically recreated room, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his historically accurate hall house and learn about 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 ink preparation and appropriate phrasing.
• Cargo Distribution: Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's floors.
