Description
Jüri von Kaufmann (in German “merchant”) was a medieval merchant. He came from Lübeck, but lived in Reval (Tallinn) and travelled a lot, especially in the Hanseatic cities of Estonia. He was not too rich nor poor. But Jüri was special – he was able to see the future. He left us with tasks to figure out and messages to solve them.
Your goal is to go through as many different checkpoints on the map as possible, solve riddles, increase the score by giving the correct answers and thus find the message that Jüri left you.
Each checkpoint has a different value, which you can also see on the map above each checkpoint. It doesn’t matter what order you follow – whereas in order to be able to open the message, you have to go through most of the checkpoints and give the correct answers.
If you answer 50% of the questions correctly, a message will appear on the screen during the game, where you will also find Jüri’s message! When the message arrives, write it down or save it in the memory!
There is no time limit for the game, so you can pause the game in the meantime (for example, to charge your device or stop in a café) and resume later.
Feedback to the adventure in Haapsalu
“Everything went really well, and the participants were happy with the game. Since the group also included colleagues from Latvia and Lithuania who had never been to Haapsalu before, it was a great opportunity to explore the city and see some of its highlights.
It was also great to learn that we can easily organise the games using our own devices. We will definitely keep this in mind when planning smaller team events in the future.”
