Tomb Raider: Quest for Cinnabar is the second opus of Tomb Raider games on mobile phones. The game keeps the original main principle of gameplay in a side view scrolling game where guns, objects to collect and puzzles to solve are still more than present. Control Lara Croft into fifteen levels of gameplay where Lara will still have to jump, climb, use guns, action objects everywhere in order to discover the Cinnabar and return it to England.

On returning from Egypt with the fabled manuscript, Lara finds that her anonymous employer wishes her to travel immediately to Tibet. Her destination is a nameless ancient monastery, which sits high on an escarpment. Lara must secure a priceless ancient vase containing Cinnabar, a substance used in the creation of life affirming tinctures. Lara Croft is well aware that the supposedly mythical city of Shangri-La is actually rooted in Tibetan folklore, which describes a remote valley inhabited by immortals.
