About Gem Match Quest

Gem Match Quest is a colorful match-3 puzzle on an 8×8 board of glittering gems. Swap two neighbors to line up three or more of the same color and they shatter, letting new gems fall in from above. Chain reactions build combos that multiply your points.

Matching four in a row creates a line-clearing gem, and matching five creates a rainbow gem that wipes out every gem of one color. Each level gives you a limited number of moves to reach a target score, and the targets grow as you progress.

How to Play

  1. Click or tap a gem, then click a neighboring gem to swap them.
  2. You can also drag a gem toward its neighbor.
  3. Swaps only count if they create a match of three or more. Otherwise the gems swap back.
  4. Reach the level's target score before you run out of moves to advance.

Game Objective

Clear as many levels as you can by hitting each target score within the move limit.

Tips & Strategy

  • Make matches near the bottom of the board. Falling gems are more likely to set off cascades.
  • Hold on to a rainbow gem and swap it with the most common color on the board.
  • A line gem clears the whole row or column across its match, so set it off where it hits the most gems.
  • Scan for four-in-a-row setups before you take an easy three-match.
