A Race Against Time
Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. He's tasked you with various chores in his grand hall house, but you've got a bowling appointment in 30 minutes! Can you complete his requests in time?
This educational game challenges you to solve puzzles, combine items within the historically recreated room, and use your wits to keep the merchant happy and on schedule. Explore his hall house, learning about daily professional and private life in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:
- Wardrobe Preparation: Assemble the merchant's attire. Remember, some garments require medieval cleaning or drying techniques!
- Letter Drafting: Compose an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find appropriate writing materials.
- Cargo Distribution: Use a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's multiple floors.
