Dragon Hall‘s new computer game - The Golden Key - has just launched, based on the activities of real life merchants and traders who made Norwich such an important city in the late Middle Ages.

The player is a trader in the 15th century, pitting his or her wits against the cleverest traders from Dragon Hall and the Low Countries. Barter, bid and then set sail in this educational adventure to top the market and beat Robert Toppes, esteemed trader, Mayor of Norwich, and owner of the magnificent Dragon Hall. There are also logbooks to download to keep trade and shipping records in pounds, shillings and pence.

It is suitable for most ages but mainly aimed at 8-12 year olds. Supporting teachers‘ resources have also been developed.

The game has been funded by the Norwich 12 project.
