About Gem Match
Shiny jelly gems fill the board, each kind with its own color and shape. Your child swaps two neighbors to line up three or more of a kind, and they burst while new gems drop in from the top. Four or five in a row leave behind a special gem with extra power.
How to play
- Drag a gem onto its neighbor, or tap one and then the other.
- Collect the gems shown at the top.
- With a keyboard, move with arrows, press Space, then an arrow to swap.
What your child practices
- Spotting patterns
- Matching shapes and colors
- Planning a move
- Working toward a goal
