Step into a historically accurate escape room set in 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 circa 1475. Think of it as a fun, interactive museum visit packed with fascinating historical details you won't find in textbooks!

A Story of Mystery and Commerce

Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg is preparing for a crucial council meeting. Time is money, and business must proceed! He's tasked you with several errands in his grand hall house. The catch? You have bowling plans in 30 minutes, so you need to hustle!

In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated environment, and use your wits to keep the merchant on schedule. Explore his hall house and learn about daily life – both professional and personal – in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Assemble the merchant's attire. Be mindful: some clothing requires medieval-style cleaning or drying.
• Draft an important letter, requiring ink preparation and appropriate phrasing.
• Distribute delivered goods across the house's floors using a cargo crane.

An Educational Game and Digital Museum

The mobile educational game, Adventure Dielenhaus, is part of the European Hansemuseum Lübeck's digital offerings. Created with local historians, it blends fact-based fiction with playful knowledge transfer about daily life, architecture, work, and modern parallels.

Playable solo at home or in a classroom setting under a teacher's guidance, the app provides an exciting glimpse into 15th-century Hanseatic life. It's particularly suited for teaching media skills and critically evaluating historical sources. The engaging and fun approach also sparks discussions about medieval life and connects with secondary school curricula.

Visitors to the European Hansemuseum Lübeck who have played the Abenteuer Hanse app will find a special treat: their Adventure Dielenhaus successes will be added to the Knoggeburg family tree database on the game's website. Scores are saved locally on the device, and no internet connection is needed to play.
