PopCap Games created Bejeweled (originally called Diamond Mine) in 2001, making use of flash programming. It made the game available on a number of different platforms. The introduction of Bejeweled on the Palm operating system took the game to a new and more mobile group of players. Years later, Bejeweled has turned into Version 2, with the addition of power gems, hyper cubes and time bombs. It is still one of the most popular games played at Yahoo!! Games.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Select the Bejeweled 2 game at Yahoo!! Games (see Resources below). It can be found quickly under the puzzle-games section.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the type of game you want to play. Play for free by clicking the "Play Web Game" button. The downloadable-trial version has a limited amount of play and the full version can be purchased to allow you to play when you aren't online.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the type of game you want to play. Your choices include the classic, un-timed game, the action, the timed game and the puzzle game.

  4. Step 4

    Move on to the game by clicking the "Continue" button.

  5. Step 5

    Look for opportunities to match four gems horizontally or vertically to create power gems that explode when matched. Matching five gems will create a bomb for even more points.

  6. Step 6

    Match at least three gems on each move.

  7. Step 7

    Hit the "Hint" button to help you find a move on the game board when you are stuck looking for one. Beware that you will lose some time in the action game when you use the button for a hint.

  8. Step 8

    Continue matching the jewels until you achieve the goal of the game. The classic game creates a score and harder levels until no moves remain. The action game is like the classic game, but with a time limit. The puzzle version has the goal of clearing all of the jewels from the game board.

Tips & Warnings
