“Jewel Quest” is a puzzle game with an nice interface, which recreates a magic jewel quest journal, in which an ancient manuscript proclaims: “Align the relics you can see, across or down in groups of three. Turn all squares to solid gold, the path to riches will soon unfold”, and that’s pretty much what you have to do in the game.
The objective of “Jewel Quest” is to create matches of three-in-a-row (or more) tiles, on the boar provided, by swapping the tiles with your mouse. When you create the match, those tiles become into gold and are filled up with new jewels. Sometimes, the new jewels will create new matches triggering a chain reaction, which is great since you get more points and progress faster. You have to turn all the tiles into gold in order to finish the level.
You have to complete the board before the time is over. Otherwise, you’ll lose a life from the five with which you start playing.
