Golden Dragon Mystery
Who's up for a taste of the Orient? No, not a Yum-Cha banquet as much as I'd like to be able to take us all out for. Rather, a nice little point and click entree from Abroy> games, a delightfully seasoned escape game without the MSG. Golden Dragon Mystery is a pleasurable break from routine, as sweet as ordering Chinese take-out on the weekend.

Decently done, only got stuck at the letter drawer, and feel no issue at having cheated on that one, as I wouldn't have gotten that. ;)
Do the bells make a sound that is useful to the puzzle solving? If so, I'd best wait until I get home for sound on my computer!
The bells all sound the same.
Me, I'm stuck.
I've used the chopsticks to get a single blue dragon. I've also got six tiles. I've opened the right-hand drawer beneath the golden dragon, but none of the other code-locked things. I've seen the clue beneath the end table-- it looks like two goats facing one another, or something like that?-- and I've observed that turning on the three lamps in the room makes the panels on the door light up.
Ah, check that.
I wasn't looking at the windows. I found a tile and another code (which I used to get a red dragon) up there.
But I'm still stuck elsewise.
@SonicLover
Have you found the plate? You'll know it when you see it - it has many clues to things
"The plate"? Does that have anything to do with the seven plates in my inventory now, or the Zodiac plate with all the years on it (which I've already used in conjunction with a clue behind a pillow to unlock one drawer)?
The zodiac plate. The words and pictures are useful as well as the numbers
Alright. I note that the "rams" I mentioned in my first comment are actually oxen, but that doesn't help me much. I also note that one of the drawer codes required me to select three Zodiac symbols, but damned if I know which ones.
Wow! i'm first!! Great game, nice puzzles, not ridiculously hard, but challenging enough! The puzzles had a logic to them, which i really liked.
This was one of my favorite escape games. It helps that I only needed one hint from the walkthrough to finish.
I don't have time to write a complete walkthrough, but let me know if you need a hint.
Okay, update.
I looked on top of the tall cabinet. I found another plate (that's eight), a yellow dragon, and a code with six letters, which I used to figure out the three Zodiac symbols for the other drawer, which held a blue dragon.
No idea on the four colored dragons or the four letters, though. I suspect I know three of the colors because of the lamps, but the fourth...?
I'm just writing my first walkthrough, as this is the first I've solved without one!
More updates on my situation.
I found the other yellow dragon (it was out in the open the whole time). I also solved the four-letter puzzle (the two oxen were a clue for it) and got the last dragon inside it.
I'm still stumped about the four colored dragons, and I've figured out that the lamps have nothing to do with it; they instead correspond to the six colored dragons I've collected. Which means I have no clues whatsoever for the colored dragons.
And it figures I'd get that solution IMMEDIATELY after posting, by acting on a hunch I'd already had.
The four colored bars over the dragon scrolls near the door are the clue for the colored dragons. I've got all nine tiles now, and used them to get the gem, which I put in the gold dragon's eye.
...Now what do I do?
Hey SonicLover,
For the four coloured dragons, look for those colours elsewhere.
I could use a gentle nudge on the letters.
I can't believe I managed to solve an escape game without a walkthrough! :-) Some minor illogicalities, I suppose, but for me this was much easier to figure out than some of the pure maths puzzles that occur in other escape games.
The letters:
Note the picture of the oxen. Compare it with the ox's picture on the zodiac plate. Note that the ox on the left is in the same orientation, whereas the one on the right is facing the other way. You've got an ox and a backwards ox. What does that add up to?
...was that too much of a nudge?
I'm out now. Once I figured out that X, the rest was easy.
(where X = "you could pull the dragon's arm after inserting the gem")
@Krisiti - for the letters:
You need to combine hints found in two places in the room.
One of the hints is the zodiac plate.
There are no four-letter animal names, though.
Where else have you seen one of the zodiac animals?
How was that animal presented?
Hope this was somewhat helpful without giving it away outright :-)
btw, I'm not sure if this is a browser bug or a design flaw...
The top of the zodiac plate was hidden by the inventory bar, which meant that I didn't actually see more than half of the "ox" symbol on the zodiac plate.
I played the game in Firefox 3.6.2 on a computer running MacOS X 10.5.
How are you supposed to look on top of the tall cabinet? I click everywhere above it and nothing, and if I click the top shelf it just zooms in on the lower two shelves with the plates.
Once again, I'm not seeing any of the spoilers on this page... Any hints on how to see hints?

Walkthrough:
Sofa screen:
The light can be turned on and off. It's a pretty lampshade.
The windows
There's a plate to collect here.
The middle window frame looks a little strange.
There's a number written sideways.
The sofa
Three cushions to click, a plate to collect and a strange diagram which I can't pick up.
Chest to the left
Another plate, and a square. I wonder what I put here? Maybe later.
There's also a scroll to the right of the chest. It's a yellow dragon.
Table to the right
The vase rattles - does it have anything in it? I can't get it out now.
There's a picture of two animals facing each other. I'll remember it for now.
Turn right to the tall cabinet screen. There's another pretty light that can be turned on and off.
The cabinet
There are 4 drawers, two of which I can open now, but they're empty.
There's another plate hidden here.
It's on a shelf on the right, next to a red book.
The blue patterned plate moves from side-to-side. The red plate above can be brought to the front. Now I can look at it properly.
It's the Chinese zodiac. This looks like it has many clues!
Top of the cabinet - I can see something up there, but I can't reach it.
Footstool
There's a plate under the cushion.
I can move the shoes from side to side.
I can move the footstool from side to side.
I bet I can reach the top of the cabinet now.
I found a plate, a yellow dragon, and a strange note that said "oo ee bb"
Turn right again to the dragon cabinet screen. Another light.
Top of the cabinet:
The dragon doesn't do anything yet.
The bells chime if I ring them.
The chairs are pretty, but I can't use them.
Left drawer
Three pictures of animals. I presume they have something to do with the zodiac plate.
I'll look at the names of the animals, to see if anything looks familiar.
"oo ee bb" - a clue for here.
rOOster shEEp raBBit
A blue dragon.
Middle drawer
A plate. Not really a surprise by now.
Right drawer
A four digit number.
Maybe if I try the code from the window?
Oh, it didn't work. Maybe it's a year from the zodiac plate? But which one?
There was a strange diagram on the sofa. Is that the clue?
It indicates the 5th row of the Tiger - which is 1986.
Another plate. 8 out of 9.
Right again, to the door screen. I can see the first pretty light here.
If the light is on, a panel in the door lights up.
There are pictures on the wall.
They have coloured bands at the top.
There's a table. It has some chopsticks on it, which I can pick up.
There's a box.
Another four digit code.
Maybe the window code will work here?
3803
A red dragon.
There are two drawers I haven't opened yet, on the tall cabinet screen.
Top drawer
Four dragons, which can be different colours.
I've seen four colours before, on those hanging pictures.
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green
The final plate.
Bottom locked drawer
Four letters.
The only clue left is that picture of two animals.
The animals are facing in different directions.
It looks like an Ox.
The code is ‘OXXO'.
Another red dragon.
That vase is bugging me - I'm sure it has something in it.
I can use the chopsticks to find another blue dragon.
I have 9 plates, 2 yellow dragons, 2 blue dragons and 2 red ones.
The plates go on top of the chest to form a puzzle.
Rotate the plates to create a picture of a flower.
I found a gem! I wonder where it goes?
It goes in the dragon's eye-socket, on the dragon cabinet screen. Now I can move its arm, and it shines a light briefly.
I'll try putting one of my dragon pictures there, and using the light.
Nothing. Maybe add another dragon?
I can mix two coloured dragons together, to get three new dragons: purple, orange and green.
The final puzzle
I have 3 dragons: purple, orange and green. What else has these dragons on?
The three lightshades have those colours of dragons.
I can put the dragons on the door, using the lights to guide me.
Top to bottom: Orange, Green, Purple.
This game takes some guesswork to figure out. everything you see that seems like a clue, is. It's just a matter of figuring out which clue goes to which lock.

simultaneous walkthrough posts. woohoo
Once again, I'm not seeing any of the spoilers on this page... Any hints on how to see hints?
Linnea: Looks like a design flaw to me. The plate is also obscured by the inventory bar for me in Firefox and Chrome both running on Ubuntu 10.10.
In fact
I totally missed the clue that relates to the obscured picture of the OX. I figured OXXO by trial and error, after trying OXES and OXEN and TWOX (two ox, get it?).
@JIGguest
That shelf is awfully tall. . .
Maybe you can't reach without help
Try standing on something
You need to move the seat/stool thingy next to the shelves before you can click up there
@baileydonk
Make sure you have javascript turned on, and wait for the page to load completely. On my rather cruddy DSL connection, it takes about 10 seconds before spoiler tags are functional.
This game was a bit tough, but I managed to get through it without hints. The clues were well hidden.
Did anyone notice a rather obnoxious bug in the sound where it seemed like it would randomly buzz at you?
Otherwise, good so far. Got some plates and stuff, opened a few drawers, but not quite finished.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to
put my colored dragons onto the door. I have all 6 and I know that I need to combine them like the lanterns, but how? they won't go onto the door.
Thanks Chiktionary for a pre-weekday escape escape! I'd be happy to have a new one daily, really.
:)

-
Now click on any one of the coloured Dragon Scrolls and place it underneath and to the front of the golden dragon.

The aim here is to create three new scrolls, by placing primary colours on top of each other to create secondary colours.
-
Once you've placed two coloured scrolls, click on the Dragon's right front leg. It will swing down, and so will the Dragon's head, causing the gem in the eye to glow on the scrolls underneath.

Final Escape
Now for the door, for which there is no key. But there are 3 panels and there are 3 scrolls in the inventory.
Use the three new scrolls on the panels of the doors. The order seems to vary so this might take some guessing.
When you have the right order, the door will open and you can embrace your freedom.
I enjoyed that one. Quite thinky yet did not need to do math or make leaps in logic... which in a way made it a bit too easy. Even so, it was good although I was disappointed at the brief ending picture. Tesshi-e has me spoiled for longer ending scenes.
I got it now, I forgot to
put the colored dragons under the golden dragon statue to fuse them together
for some reason it won't let me turn left or right, is this a bug? I can't continue otherwise. Can someone give me any tips as what to do because all I can do is do the first bit of the game collecting the plates on the first screen. Please can someone help me?
forward from my last comment, never mind
With a combined effort of luck and luck, there was only one puzzle that beat me (the lower drawer code (four letters). So, consequently I liked the game :)
Two notes:
The
colored dragons sheets putting up the door
part seems buggy. The sheets kept disappearing from the
door
- meaning I put them up, navigated away, came back and one of them wasn't there - but still could take them down - as if it still was there. Also,
first i could only produce the orange and green ones and placed them on their respective spots on the door.
When I later was able
to produce the orange one, as I took it from under the dragon's red beam, I suddenly had all three composite color dragon sheets again - although I had alredy placed two of them on the door.
And, when I got back to the
door to lace them up, the green one was still on the door - so, technically I had two green dragons :)
2.) The bells. Were they of any use? I don't remember using them in any way, still I got out.
All in all, I liked this one thoroughly.
Thanks for posting it.
bio
I liked this game considerably more than Abroy's previous games. The puzzles made more sense (I actually did it without a walkthrough), and there was far less pixel-hunting.
My biggest complaint: there wasn't enough variety in the puzzles. There's only so many times I can put letter/number/color codes into drawers and boxes before I start to get bored.
And a couple minor complaints:
The bells and the plate you can move back and forth. They contributed nothing to the game that I could discern. I'm just of the opinion that if I can interact with something in a game, then it had better be important, or at least do something irrelevant but interesting (like maybe the bells could ring a little tune). Maybe I'm just picky.
I liked that some things--the bells, the moving plate--were there to interact even though they were not involved in solving puzzles. They acted a bit like red-herrings to provide a little extra challenge, keep me thinking. Now if Neutral had red herrings like that, it might make their games too hard, but I'd still enjoy the chance to interact with the environment to a greater degree.
It would have been nice if there was some way- any way- to tell which clue went to which drawer without resorting to trial and error. That being said, it was much better than the last Abroy game featured here.
managed to get the purple orange and green dragons but would not allow me to place them in the door panals i tried them lit and unlit and i tried to place them in all different ways just wont let me so i'm still stuck in the room x

Golden Dragon Mystery Walkthrough
General
After inputting a code you must click the drawer/box to open. There is no visual or audible indicator that you've entered the correct code until you try to open the drawer.
There is no changing cursor, but still only minor pixel hunting.
Looking Around
Couch Screen

Walkthrough:
Sofa screen:
The light can be turned on and off. It's a pretty lampshade.
The windows
There's a plate to collect here.
The middle window frame looks a little strange.
There's a number written sideways.
The sofa
Three cushions to click, a plate to collect and a strange diagram which I can't pick up.
Chest to the left
Another plate, and a square. I wonder what I put here? Maybe later.
There's also a scroll to the right of the chest. It's a yellow dragon.
Table to the right
The vase rattles - does it have anything in it? I can't get it out now.
There's a picture of two animals facing each other. I'll remember it for now.
Turn right to the tall cabinet screen. There's another pretty light that can be turned on and off.
The cabinet
There are 4 drawers, two of which I can open now, but they're empty.
There's another plate hidden here.
It's on a shelf on the right, next to a red book.
The blue patterned plate moves from side-to-side. The red plate above can be brought to the front. Now I can look at it properly.
It's the Chinese zodiac. This looks like it has many clues!
Top of the cabinet - I can see something up there, but I can't reach it.
Footstool
There's a plate under the cushion.
I can move the shoes from side to side.
I can move the footstool from side to side.
I bet I can reach the top of the cabinet now.
I found a plate, a yellow dragon, and a strange note that said "oo ee bb"
Turn right again to the dragon cabinet screen. Another light.
Top of the cabinet:
The dragon doesn't do anything yet.
The bells chime if I ring them.
The chairs are pretty, but I can't use them.
Left drawer
Three pictures of animals. I presume they have something to do with the zodiac plate.
I'll look at the names of the animals, to see if anything looks familiar.
"oo ee bb" - a clue for here.
rOOster shEEp raBBit
A blue dragon.
Middle drawer
A plate. Not really a surprise by now.
Right drawer
A four digit number.
Maybe if I try the code from the window?
Oh, it didn't work. Maybe it's a year from the zodiac plate? But which one?
There was a strange diagram on the sofa. Is that the clue?
It indicates the 5th row of the Tiger - which is 1986.
Another plate. 8 out of 9.
Right again, to the door screen. I can see the first pretty light here.
If the light is on, a panel in the door lights up.
There are pictures on the wall.
They have coloured bands at the top.
There's a table. It has some chopsticks on it, which I can pick up.
There's a box.
Another four digit code.
Maybe the window code will work here?
3803
A red dragon.
There are two drawers I haven't opened yet, on the tall cabinet screen.
Top drawer
Four dragons, which can be different colours.
I've seen four colours before, on those hanging pictures.
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green
The final plate.
Bottom locked drawer
Four letters.
The only clue left is that picture of two animals.
The animals are facing in different directions.
It looks like an Ox.
The code is ‘OXXO'.
Another red dragon.
That vase is bugging me - I'm sure it has something in it.
I can use the chopsticks to find another blue dragon.
I have 9 plates, 2 yellow dragons, 2 blue dragons and 2 red ones.
The plates go on top of the chest to form a puzzle.
Rotate the plates to create a picture of a flower.
I found a gem! I wonder where it goes?
It goes in the dragon's eye-socket, on the dragon cabinet screen. Now I can move its arm, and it shines a light briefly.
I'll try putting one of my dragon pictures there, and using the light.
Nothing. Maybe add another dragon?
I can mix two coloured dragons together, to get three new dragons: purple, orange and green.
The final puzzle
I have 3 dragons: purple, orange and green. What else has these dragons on?
The three lightshades have those colours of dragons.
I can put the dragons on the door, using the lights to guide me.
Top to bottom: Orange, Green, Purple.

Click on the right cushion for Tile #1.
Click on the floor chest to the left.
Take Tile #2 from the left.
Take the Yellow Dragon scroll #1 to the right and click back out.
Click on the vase to the right. It will lift and shake from side-to-side, but nothing more to do here.

Note the stool to the right of the shelves. Also note the pyramid-looking shape at the very top of the shelves. We'll come back to that later.
Click on the shelves for a close-up. Let's try the drawers first.
The second and bottom drawers yield nothing.
Clicking on the top drawer shows four dragons that need a colour code.
Clicking on the 3rd drawer shows that a four-letter word is required. The clue for this has already been discovered.
It relates to the picture of the two Ox.
The two Ox are mirror images of each other; one facing forwards, one facing backwards.
OXXO
Enter the code and click on the drawer to open it. Take Red Dragon scroll #1.
Click on the bottom shelf with the three plates. Not much happens, other than the middle plate moving to the side. But if you look to the right where the 2 red-covered books are, Tile #4 is wedged in there, so take it.
Click on the shelf above with three plates. The middle plate will turn around. Click on it again and note the Chinese horoscope animals and years. Does this layout look familiar?
It looks a little bit like the wheel diagram on the lounge.
Remember where the red line was on the wheel diagram? Perhaps it will match up with a certain animal's year?
Year of the Tiger.
1986
Click back out from the plates to go back to the broader view.
There's a small stool to the right of the shelves with some pretty Chinese shoes underneath it.
Click on the shoes, and they'll move to the left. That's about all.
Click on the stool cushion. It will raise to reveal Tile #5, so take that.
Click on the base of the stool and it will move left. Click back out.
Click on the top of the shelves where the pyramid-type object is. Now that the stool has been moved into position you can access the top of the shelves.

Open the drawer to take Blue Dragon scroll #1.

Remember the Chinese horoscope plate and the wheel clue on the lounge?
Year of the Tiger
1986
Enter the code and take Tile #8. Click back out and go right.
Door and Wall-hangings
Note the colours at the top of the wall-hangings with the dragons on them.
From top to bottom: Red, Yellow, Blue, Green
Hm, colours for a dragon. Where can we use this clue?
The top drawer of the shelves with plates.
Go back to the top drawer and click on each of the four dragons so that their colours are the same as the code. When the drawer opens take Tile #9.
Click on the table and take the blue chopsticks.
Click on the box to the right,
A four digit code is needed. Remember the window frame number?
3803
Enter the code, click on the box and take Red Dragon scroll #2. Click back out and go to the right.
Room with the Lounge
Click on the vase and use the chopsticks in the inventory on it to retrieve Blue Dragon scroll #2. Click to back out.
Now we have all 6 dragon scrolls and all 9 tiles. Click on the chest to the left of the lounge, click on the tiles in the inventory and click on the black square in the middle of the chest to place them. Click on the tiles to rotate them and solve the jigsaw.
Once solved, a small drawer will open revealing a red gem. Add the gem to your inventory and return to the Golden Dragon cupboards.
Golden Dragon cupboards
Click on the Golden Dragon and place the red gem in its eye-socket.
Now click on any one of the coloured Dragon Scrolls and place it underneath and to the front of the golden dragon.
Then click on one of the other colours and place it on top.
The aim here is to create three new scrolls, by placing primary colours on top of each other to create secondary colours.
Once you've placed two coloured scrolls, click on the Dragon's right front leg. It will swing down, and so will the Dragon's head, causing the gem in the eye to glow on the scrolls underneath.
Orange: Place a Yellow scroll and a Red scroll under the Dragon's head and click. Add to the inventory.
Purple: Place a Red scroll and a Blue scroll under the Dragon's head and click. Add to the inventory.
Green: Place a Blue Scroll and a Yellow scroll under the Dragon's head and click. Add to the inventory.
Click back out and go right.
Final Escape
Now for the door, for which there is no key. But there are 3 panels and there are 3 scrolls in the inventory.
Use the three new scrolls on the panels of the doors. The order seems to vary so this might take some guessing.
When you have the right order, the door will open and you can embrace your freedom.
