A Race Against Time

Merchant Jürgen Knoggeburg needs your help! He's preparing for a crucial council meeting, and time is of the essence. You've been tasked with completing various chores in his grand hall house, but you only have 30 minutes before your bowling appointment. Can you succeed before the clock runs out?

Solve Puzzles, Uncover History

• Dressing the Merchant: Assemble the correct attire, remembering to clean or dry certain garments using period-appropriate methods.
• Crafting a Letter: Prepare an important letter, requiring you to mix ink and find suitable writing materials.
• Managing Cargo: Distribute delivered goods across the house's floors using a cargo crane.
