ultimate Jewel Quest. *
In Jewel Quest, explore the ancient ruins of the Mayan civilization
while discovering hidden treasures and priceless artifacts. In this
unique new take on the classic-style matching game, you must rearrange
valuable relics to turn sand tiles into gold. Game play starts by
lining up three or more jewels or artifacts to change the puzzle board
from sand to gold. Fill the board with gold to reveal a new piece of
the golden relic and advance to the next level. As you venture deeper
into the jungle, you will encounter increasingly difficult puzzles
containing secret twists, cursed items, and buried artifacts.
