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.
Use your mouse to point and click on furnishings and items in an Orientally ornate room, find codes and solve puzzles. The wisdom of Confucius is conspicuously absent, so you may experience the occasional puzzle that's not quite intuitive or logical, but for the most part the puzzles are straightforward and easily solvable. As you click, explore and solve, you'll be accompanied by some traditional Chinese music to set the mood. There is a mute button in case it breaks concentration levels.
The basic aim of the game is to locate nine puzzle tiles and six coloured dragon tiles, by finding clues, working out the codes and exploring the environs and furnishings of a lavishly decorated room, and work out a means to escape. There are no fortune cookies, sadly ('cause they're the best part of a Chinese meal, aren't they?) but you might just find out your animal symbol of the Chinese horoscope. Apparently I'm a Monkey. Yea, so I have a penchant for bananas, but I don't do the whole groom-the-body-hair-of-family-members-and-eat-mites thing. That's what flea bombs are for.
So sit back like it's the weekend, brandish your chopsticks, and enjoy the Oriental flavors of Golden Dragon Mystery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
The pyramid object turns out to be a Chinese straw hat. Click on it to reveal Yellow Dragon scroll #2, and add the scroll to the inventory.
Click on Tile #6 which is on the right.
Note the clue screwed to the wooden beam at the top.

Click on the left drawer and note that a code is needed involving animal silhouettes. The code for this has already been found.
At the very top of the shelves with the plates there was a small plaque with the letters: oo ee bb
These letters relate to animals on the Chinese horoscope.
Which animals have names that have double letters in them?
Rooster
Sheep
Rabbit
Click on the animal images until you have displayed from left to right, a rooster, a sheep and a rabbit.
Open the drawer to take Blue Dragon scroll #1.
Click on the middle drawer for Tile #7.
Click on the right-hand drawer and note that a four-digit code is needed. There have been a couple of four-digit numbers already, but which one?
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.
