The Story of Heidelberg
Starting location: Hauptstraße 63
In addition to entertaining at the palace in Heidelberg, court dwarf Perkeo has another extremely important job. He is responsible for the wine stocks in the castle and guards the city's largest wine barrel: the Heidelberg Tun. Only lately, the wine glasses at dinners seem to be less and less full. Even Charles III, the Elector of Heidelberg, notices that his wine supplies are dwindling very quickly and calls Perkeo to the carpet. But the little guard is nowhere to be seen....
Perkeo sneaked out. After all, not only is he very knowledgeable about wine, but the red goodness always tastes good. Lately, the court dwarf has just let himself go a little too much. He needs to get out of town as soon as possible. Someone once told him where the secret exit is, but because of his drinking he can't remember exactly where it is... Will Perkeo manage to find the exit in time?
