## Description

While visiting China and perusing the local flea market, the psychic Dela
Reese finds a mysterious riddle box amongst the offerings of a nearby stall.
After solving its lock puzzle, she opens the artifact and is greeted by Hari,
a powerful warrior who has been imprisoned for the last 2000 years, cursed
with immortality. Now they must work together to keep an evil organization
from gaining control of the riddle box, and figure out how to safely escape
China together.

_Tiger Eye Part I: Curse of the Riddle Box_ is a hidden object game with
elements from the adventure genre based on a romantic book by Marjorie M. Liu,
who also wrote the game’s script. The player assumes the role of the main
protagonist, seeing the world through her eyes and interacting directly with
the scenery. Most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the
objects described on a task list at the bottom of the screen, on locations
related to the plot and cluttered with assorted paraphernalia. Some of the
list entries are actions that must be performed to finish the location and
move to the next scene.

Clicking on certain objects and other scene fixtures brings up an interactive
window with one of the mini-games, where a mechanism of some sort has to be
manipulated to solve them. Hints can be bought with points received after
completing puzzles and playing the occasional bonus rounds, where the goal is
to find matching pairs as fast as possible. Most mini-games have two hints and
a skip option that can be bought to complete the challenge.
