The brilliant minds at Pop Cap took a 10-year old game and turned it into a Facebook phenomenon by giving players one minute to match jewels and rack up as many points as possible, then post them to a leader board on Facebook for all to see. Then, they also added Blitz to iPhone, which also posts scores to Facebook. As if that did not get your competitive juices flowing enough, scores are completely erased each week and it starts all over again. I have been playing so much that I have dreamed about Bejeweled Blitz every night!
This is a very popular PC game and it has been adapted to various channels over the past few years. When the game was first introduced, it was only available on computers. Soon, the game was available on all the major mobile devices and laptops. The game started to pick up after the addition of the mobile version, so many started playing it. Due to the great success of the game, the creators went ahead and made a game on the Facebook site. The Facebook game, Bejeweled Blitz follows the same rules and guidelines as the PC game, but you just have your friends to play against. You can keep track of your scores along with the scores of your friends.
The goal of Bejeweled Blitz is to match gems and Multipliers in order to get the highest score possible in one minute. By connecting with Facebook, players can compete with others for a high score on leader boards. The main game screen is an 8 x 8 grid of gems. Players make lines of three by swapping gems with adjacent gems. When a match is made, the matched gems disappear and more gems fall into the board from above. Special gems can be created by making matches of 4 or more.
