How to Play & Win

How to Play

1. The Minute Countdown: Start the clock and match 3 or more gems as fast as you can.

2. Activate Boosts: Select up to three Boosts before the round starts to help you clear the board.

3. Harness Rare Gems: Equip Rare Gems to trigger unique board-wide effects and score multipliers.

4. Blitz Quest: Join Gemma on expeditions to uncover hidden treasures and earn free Coins and Diamonds.

Strategy: How to Win

• Speed Over Perfection: In Blitz, moving quickly is better than finding the "perfect" move. The faster you match, the sooner you trigger Blazing Speed for huge multipliers.

• Bottom-Row Priority: Matches at the bottom cause more gems to fall, leading to automatic cascades and more opportunities for special gems.

• Multiplier Focus: Always prioritize matching the Multiplier Gems (2x, 3x, etc.) as soon as they appear to maximize your total score.

Tips & Tricks

• The "Two-Handed" Technique: Use two fingers to scan and swap gems simultaneously on larger iPad screens.

• Save Your Coins: Don't waste coins on every round; save them for when you have a high-level Rare Gem ready to go for a record-breaking run.

• Chain Reactions: Try to create Hypercubes and Flame Gems near each other. Detonating them together can clear nearly the entire board in one move.
