Dielenhaus Adventure - The Merchant's Quest

Step into the world of a 15th-century Hanseatic merchant with our authentic escape room experience, "Dielenhaus Adventure - The Merchant's Quest." In this digital escape room, you'll dive into the life and work of a Hanseatic merchant around the year 1475, solving intriguing puzzles and uncovering fascinating facts in a playful, interactive setting. It's like a digital museum visit, packed with exciting details you won't find in any textbook!

Story and Mystery

Meet Jürgen, a merchant from the Hanseatic family of Knoggeburg, who is gearing up for an important council meeting. Time is money, and business must go on! He's enlisted your help to complete various tasks in his hall house. The catch? You've got a bowling date with friends in just 30 minutes, so you'll need to move fast! In this educational game, you'll solve puzzles, combine items in a historically recreated room, and use your sharp wit to keep the merchant happy on time. Explore his source-based hall house and learn about everyday professional and private life in the Hanseatic region.

Your focus will be on three main tasks:

• Assemble the perfect wardrobe for the merchant. Be mindful: some clothing items need to be cleaned or dried in the medieval way first.
• Draft an important letter, which involves stirring up ink and finding the right words.
• Distribute delivered goods across different floors of the house using a cargo crane.

Educational Game and Digital Museum

The mobile educational game "Adventure Dielenhaus" is part of the digital offerings from the European Hanse Museum in Lübeck. Developed in collaboration with local historians, it combines fact-based fiction with playful knowledge transfer about everyday life, architecture, the world of work, and parallels to today. You can play the app at home alone or under a teacher's guidance in class to gain an exciting insight into 15th-century life in the Hanseatic region. The content is particularly suitable for teaching media skills and critically examining historical sources. The action-oriented and playful approach also opens up discussions about life in the Middle Ages and aligns with secondary school curricula.

Visitors to the European Hanse Museum in Lübeck who have installed and played the local educational game app "Abenteuer Hanse" are in for a special surprise: the successes from "Abenteuer Dielenhaus" will be transferred to the family tree database on the "Abenteuer Dielenhaus" website, which also addresses the fictional von Knoggeburg family.
