Rif's Box-o-Rama™ Instructions

The Puzzle

Rif has a problem: He needs to find four lozenge-shaped artifacts to open the door to some human ruins. In addition the lozenges still need to have power.

Rif learns that the Rats have a collection of boxes that contain pieces of lozenges. Sist, the leader of the Rats, has agreed to let Rif search through the boxes.

The receptionist of the Rat Complex escorts Rif to the room where the boxes are kept, and the puzzle begins…

How to Play

Click anywhere in the room to have Rif walk to the closest open space near where you clicked. When Rif stands next to a box, the box will highlight. Click on the highlighted box to open it. The lozenge piece in the box will displayed in the top-right corner of the screen. Each complete lozenge requires finding two pieces with the same shaped gem.

Alternately, you can move Rif using the arrow keys. Once a box is highlighted, press the Space key to open.

Only one box with a lozenge will remain open at a time. If the next box that Rif opens has the matching piece to the piece in the previous box, Rif collects the piece. Rif is awarded points for collecting matching pieces, plus he receives a bonus if matching pieces are found quickly enough. Boxes without pieces remain open and cannot be closed.

Barely-powered lozenges have a dim, red glow to the embedded gem. Rif needs to find four fully-powered logenzes with glowing green gems to complete his task.

The initial conversation between Rif and the receptionist Rat can be skipped by pressing the Escape key. You can also press the Escape key to skip dialogue -- just like in Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb.

Good luck!
