Story and Mystery: Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg is preparing for an important council meeting. Time is of the essence, and business must proceed! He's enlisted your help to complete various tasks in his grand hall house. The catch? You have a bowling date in 30 minutes, so you'll need to work quickly!

Explore his historically-researched hall house and discover more about the everyday professional and private lives of people in the Hanseatic region. The game focuses on three key tasks:

• Assemble the merchant's appropriate attire. Be mindful: some clothing items require medieval-style cleaning or drying before use.
• Draft an important letter, requiring you to prepare ink and find suitable writing materials.
• Utilize a cargo crane to distribute delivered goods across the house's various floors.
