About Gem Match

Gem Match is a bright, moreish match-three puzzle. Tap a fruity gem and then one right beside it to swap the two — line up three or more of the same fruit in a row or column and they burst in a shower of points, while fresh gems tumble down to fill the gaps. Set it up well and one clear can cascade straight into the next for a big combo. There are only so many moves, though, so it pays to look before you swap.

Gem Match is one of our free puzzles & logic games for kids — play it right here in your browser, or browse all our free online games.

How to Play

  • Tap a gem, then tap a gem right next to it to swap them.
  • Make a line of three or more matching fruits to clear them.
  • Cleared gems fall away and new ones drop in from the top.
  • A swap that doesn't make a match won't count — plan ahead before your moves run out.

Tips & Tricks

  • Hunt for the swap that sets off two matches at once rather than just one.
  • Clearing gems up top drops new ones down, which can spark combos underneath — aim high.
  • Scan the whole board before spending a move; the obvious swap isn't always the best one.
  • Rows and columns both count, so look up and down as well as across.
