 A Fun & Addictive Game Jun 18, 2005
By Katie
"book worm"
I recently started playing several computer games, and this one was recommended to me by a friend - she said it could be addicting, and I must say that she was right!
I have been playing Jewel Quest on and off for several months now, and it seems as if the levels will never end. I think this is a good thing, because once you solve a game, you usually don't play it again. Because of the sheer # of levels, this game can provide many, many hours of enjoyment (or frustration....)
One of the great features of this game is that you are never made to start all over again - You keep working on the same board until you conquer it. After you've attempted the same board several times without beating it, you are given the option to just skip that particular level, and move on. I personally never choose that option, but I like to know that the option is available if I get too frustrated with the difficulty of a particular section.
The goal of Jewel Quest is to match various items - you must match at least 3 of the same item in a row or colum. By doing this, you turn the "sand" tiles to "gold", and you must get the entire grid gold within a specific period of time. It may sound easy, but as you move along the levels, it actually gets quite difficult.
Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys matching games where there is increasing levels of difficulty. My thought is that it's probably more appropriate for adults as opposed to children.

So addicting Oct 12, 2005
By R. Howell
"boriskhan"
As others have made note, this is an addictive game. You line up three or more icons to change the tile color. Sounds simple until you get into the icons that have to be unfrozen, multiple tile changes, and black idol 'bombs' that can set up delays for you. The complexity of various level/boards is a challenge and you simply don't get the same game twice. Very fun and quite addictive and occassionally frustrating. Anyway you look at it, it's not a bad investment because you'll beat it, forget about it, and then try it again a few months later and get hooked again.

Fun for all Apr 27, 2005
By Tracer
Fun game. Can be habit forming, if you do not succed the first time it lets you try again and again after so many tries it moves you to the next level, onlike some games that says you done for. some of the games do get boring after you have played them a half dozen times before moving to the next level. But over all I enjoy it.

 Addictive and entertaining Sep 01, 2006
By Alex E
I first played this game on a trial basis through a game site and realized that I had to get the full version. I am glad that I did. There are a lot of different boards to play and each board becomes a bit more difficult. The good thing about this game is that if you're unable to beat the board, it eventually allows you to "give up one life" and move on to the next board. It has 5 levels of play and as I am still on the first level I assume it gets increasingly difficult in time. It's a great variation on Bejeweled but recommend it more for adults than kids younger than 10. It's very addictive and find myself playing for hours if I don't tear myself away from it. This is a great gift!

Highly Addictive Fun Feb 03, 2007
By KC
"critter caretaker"
As the title states this game is fantastic for those that love strategy games. It has all the elements of tetris, but with some major differences being the size of the grids and the jewels are ever changing and the number of challenge levels is staggering and they throw new things at you all the time. It is a beat the clock kind of game and it does have epic movie kind of background music, I get lost in it every time I play.
