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 playfully 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 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 various errands in his grand hall house. The catch? You have bowling plans in 30 minutes, so you'll need to hustle!
In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated room, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his historically-sourced hall house and gain insights into the daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire. Be mindful: 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 various floors.
Educational Game and Digital Museum:
The mobile educational game, "Adventure Dielenhaus," is part of the digital offerings from the European Hansemuseum in Lübeck. Developed in collaboration with local historians, it blends fact-based fiction with playful knowledge transfer about daily life, architecture, the world of work, and parallels to modern times.
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. The content is especially suited for teaching media literacy and critically examining historical sources. Its engaging and fun approach sparks discussions about medieval life and aligns with secondary school curricula.
A special bonus awaits visitors to the European Hansemuseum Lübeck who have played the "Abenteuer Hanse" app: your successes in "Adventure Dielenhaus" will be added to the family tree database on the "Adventure Dielenhaus" website, featuring the fictional von Knoggeburg family.
