You will first be introduced to the story about Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz: 1449 in Mainz: Johannes Gutenberg has a groundbreaking idea: He wants to build a printing press to print fonts. An absolute world first! Yet people do not recognize the benefits of this strange invention. As a result, he doesn't have the money for the components. In addition, not all components have been fully developed yet! He is threatening to fail disgracefully. As his assistants, will you be able to achieve the sensation of the millennium together with him?
Work in a team (2-6 people per group) to solve the case Are you more than 6 people? Then we recommend that you divide yourself into several small groups, otherwise experience has shown that not all of them are well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!
