Jewel Quest PackDouble Play: Jewel Quest 2 and 3 - Two Perfect Games in One Pack!


Today we'd like to offer you a pack of two great games in one. You definitely know the wonderful Jewel Quest match 3 series. If you are a match 3 fan - it's a must-have. And if you happen not to have bought the games before - here is the chance you need!



Jewel Quest PackThe story of Jewel Quest II begins when Professor Pack learns that his girl left him and decides to drown his sorrows in South Waters. Joining a staff of a cargo ship, he sets on journey to Africa. Wild Safari, Zimbabwe Ruins, Breathtaking  Victoria Falls and sparkilng treasures are to be discovered by those who will set his foot on a Southern continent together with Professor Pack.

 

At each location of the world's richest continent,  Professor is to solve puzzles by matching colored jewels. Jewels nest in the tiles of a grid. The point of the game is to make a line of three or more jewels of identical color. A key strategy of all match-3 puzzles works in Jewel Quest 2 as well: the more gems are matched simultaneously, the higher scores you get. When all tiles are gold, the level is completed. Colored gems are to be removed from the board before the timer runs out: if the level is not completed on time, one life is taken away from you. Pay attention that when the board is filled with gems, some tiles remain empty.  Empty spaces come in very handy: jewels can be moved into any empty space while solving a puzzle. If one is completely at his wit's end and makes no matches for a long time, he is given hints.


Jewel Quest PackGold coins are power-ups: when 3 of them are put into a line, the player earns Special move. Special moves come in handy when one needs to uncover a buried gem or to remove any other jewel. Other coins and power-ups are to be discovered as well as you will be cracking 180 puzzles on a quest to find gold relics.


In Jewel Quest III after happy reassembling of the family after the events of Jewel Quest Solitaire II Rupert and Emma, the heroes of all the previous games, decide to open a museum exhibiting all the amazing treasures they have collected during their travels. But the grand opening has to be postponed, as Natalie, their six-year old daughter, accidentally opens a secret section of a jewel board and gets infected with some poisonous spores. Not only she becomes blind, but her eyes gain a strange ruby glow. The loving parents immediately venture to the dangerous trip in search of cure for their daughter, because Emma is sure this was done for purpose buy her old foe, and therefore there should be a cure. The story continues to unveil with each of the 200 levels in 11 regions you are going to visit trying to fulfill your mission and will keep you engaged to the very end. Those who played previous parts already know what to expect in this aspect.


Jewel Quest PackSo, your journey starts in Central America with six locations of traditional match 3 game play - you have to turn the whole playfield into old by swapping jewels and making matches over it. As you progress in the game you will travel all over the world, discovering new types of puzzles in each region. For example, South America will offer you turn-based rules where you have to compete with Emma and Hani as opponents, not forgetting your time limit. You will also encounter locked and iced jewels to release, tasks involving gathering some jewels in a certain part of the playfeld etc, not mentioning a wide range of unique board shapes, each presenting a challenge. Due to the variety of puzzles you'll never be bored, especially taking into account that you have a possibility to choose regions and locations and to replay any ones you liked or failed. After completing each region and after some levels you are awarded a jewel. Those are needed to complete a jewel board and finish the game.


The game also features Hidden Quests that need to be discovered and Gold Quests to be unlocked, so there is always something to strive to. Moreover, if you feel you have gained enough skill playing the quest mode, you can try yourself in the Tournament, competing human players all over the world - a great chance to see what you are worth as a Jewel Quest fan!


If you go to the Museum lobby, you'll find somу useful info there, like the history of Jewel Quest, basic game rules etc.


What really distinguishes the game among others, besides the addicitve game play, is the environment you find yourself in. Both the visuals and sounds create an immersive atmosphere of jungles and other natural and climatic zones you visit. You just plunge there and forget everything.


This is one of the best match 3 packs ever - no doubt! Haven't you got it yet?
