The goal of Bejeweled 3 is to swap pairs of gems in order to create lines of matched gems.

Bejeweled 3

Bejeweled 3 has several game modes to suit any Bejeweler's taste in gameplay.

Classic

Classic is the primary Bejeweled 3 game mode. Swap gems to make matches and create special gems. Since Classic is an untimed, turn-based mode, you can take your time to set up good moves. The game ends when there are no possible moves on the board.

Zen

Zen is the relaxation, no-pressure mode. There is no end to the game. New matches always drop in so you can play as long as you like.

Zen mode features a number of soothing audio-visual effects that can be tailored to a player's preference. To activate or de-activate them, click on the Zen Options button above the Hint button on the left side of the screen. The Zen Options are:

• Breath Modulation: Audio and visual feedback help you modulate your breathing rate, slowing it down and relaxing you, increasing calm and reducing blood pressure. Click "Enable" to turn the Breath Modulation sounds on or off. The "Visual Indicator" button adds a pulsing wave that moves up and down the screen in time with the sounds. The "Speed" slider allows you to adjust the Breath Modulation's speed to your preference.
• Ambient Sounds: Supplement the game music and sound effects with environmental audio tracks for greater relaxation and focus. Click "Enable" to turn the Ambient Sounds on or off. There are seven Ambient Sound choices: Coastal, Crickets, Forest, Ocean Surf, Rain Leaves, Waterfall and Random. The "Volume" slider allows you to adjust the Ambient Sound volume to your preference.
• Mantras: Various positive textual affirmations are displayed onscreen as you play, helping to focus your thoughts on beneficial areas for meditation. Click "Enable" to turn the Mantras on or off. Click "Subliminal" to make the mantras appear subliminally as you play. There are six categories of Mantras: General, Positive Thinking, Prosperity, Quit Bad Habits, Self Confidence and Weight Loss. The "Speed" slider allows you to adjust to your preference how quickly the mantras are displayed.
• Binaural Beats: Using headphones, different frequencies are played into each ear, creating the perception of frequencies outside normal hearing range which help your brain enter different states. Click "Enable" to turn the Binaural Beats on and off. There are eleven Binaural Beats: Alpha Pattern, Beta Pattern, Chakra Circle, Chill Cycle, Delta Pattern, Euphoria, Lucid Dream, Meditation, Mood Lifter, Pain Suppressor and Sleepy Time. The "Volume" slider allows you to adjust the Binaural Beats' volume to your preference.

Lightning

Lightning is a fast-paced mode for power Bejewelers who crave excitement. Unlike the Classic and Zen modes, Lightning is a timed mode; the game ends when you run out of time. You can never run out of moves; as in Zen mode, matches will always drop in from above.

Lightning mode has all the special gems of Classic and Zen modes. However, Lightning mode has some additional gameplay features tailored to the Lightning experience.

• Timer Bar: Each Lightning mode game starts with one minute on the clock. The Timer Bar above the game board shows how much time you have remaining in your game.
• Time Gems: As you play, special Time Gems marked with "+5" or "+10" drop into the board. Each Time Gem you match adds seconds to the Time Extension tank under the score display on the upper left corner of the screen. When the Timer Bar reaches zero, the stored time is added back to the Timer Bar and you can keep playing and earning more Time Gems. Each time the Time Extender tank empties, unmatched Time Gems turn into Special Gems.
• Score Multiplier: The Score Multiplier is displayed right below the score in the upper left corner of the screen. It begins at x1, and each time you empty the Time Extension tank it increases by one. All moves made are multiplied by the Score Multiplier, so the longer you survive, the higher you push the Multiplier and the bigger your overall score.
• Speed Bonus: If you make matches quickly enough in succession, you will earn a Speed Bonus, which is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the screen above your score. The Speed Bonus starts at 200 points and is added to the point total for each match. As you continue to make fast matches, the Speed Bonus increases to a maximum value of 1000 additional points per match. If you falter for too long, the Speed Bonus resets to zero.
• Blazing Speed: Once you have filled your Speed Bonus to +1000, you unlock the Ignition Meter. Keep making fast matches to fill it and activate Blazing Speed. While Blazing Speed is active the board pulses orange and every matched gem acts as a Flame Gem, exploding on the match. This is an excellent way to clear large areas of the board and pick up hard-to-get Time Extender gems.
• Last Hurrah: When a game is over, you receive the Last Hurrah. During the Last Hurrah, all Special Gems are detonated and added to your final score. Any unmatched Time Extenders remaining on the board also add to your final score.

Lightning Mode point values are five times those of other Bejeweled 3 modes; that is, a basic match scores 50 points in Classic and Zen, but 250 points in Lightning.

Quest

Quest is a multi-staged mode providing a number of different Bejeweled challenges of increasing difficulty.

Lost Relics of Bejeweled are darkened by time. Illuminate each one in turn by completing the mini-quests associated with the Relic's gems.

There are five Relics in total. Each one features eight mini-quests of varying types. You must complete at least four mini-quests per Relic in order to proceed to the next Relic. The Relics and their mini-quests are:

Relic 1
