Match 3 Gems with Music
Gems is a match-three game that plays over your music. Swap two neighbouring gems to line up three or more of a kind; they pop, the gems above fall into place and new ones drop in, and if that makes another line, the combo grows. Line up four and you make a line gem that clears its whole row and column; line up five and you make a colour bomb. Play a 60-second round, an endless run that stops when no move is left, or Zen, which never ends. Six gems, each with its own colour and its own shape, so they are easy to tell apart. Free, no account.

Chain the combos
Every cascade raises the multiplier. Look for four and five in a row to make special gems.
What Happens on the Board
Three or more pop
Every match
Each gem is worth 10 points, times the combo you are on. A soft note plays and climbs as the combo grows.
Cascades chain
After every match
Gems fall into the gaps, new ones drop in from the top, and any new line pops on its own and raises the combo.
Four in a row makes a line gem
Special
Match it again and it clears its whole row and its whole column.
Five in a row makes a colour bomb
Special
Swap it with any gem and every gem of that colour on the board goes. Each special you make is worth 50 extra points.
The board turns with your phone
Any screen
Seven across and ten down when you hold the phone upright, ten across and seven down on its side.
Why a Few Minutes of Matching Can Lower Stress
Casual puzzle games have been tested as short breaks. In a 2009 study at East Carolina University, Carmen Russoniello and colleagues had adults play casual games, including a match-three game, for about twenty minutes and measured heart rhythm and brain activity; the players showed signs of lower stress and better mood than a group who browsed the web for the same time. The study was small, and others have found similar effects with other short, simple games.
What these games share is a clear goal, instant feedback and nothing at stake. Zen mode leans into that: no clock, no end, a fresh shuffle when you run out of moves.
Treat it as a pleasant break, not as a cure for stress; and if one round turns into twenty, that is a sign to put the phone down.

Match 3 Gems with Music — FAQ
What are the three modes?
Timed gives you 60 seconds and reshuffles the board if you run out of moves. Endless has no clock and ends when no move is left. Zen has no clock and never ends; it simply reshuffles.
How do the special gems work?
Four in a row makes a line gem that clears its row and column when it is matched. Five in a row makes a colour bomb; swap it with any gem to clear every gem of that colour.
Is it colour-blind friendly?
Each of the six gems has its own shape as well as its own colour, so you can tell them apart without the colour.
Is there a leaderboard?
For Timed rounds, if you are signed in and have a handle. Your best score in each mode is also kept on your device.
Does it work in landscape?
Yes. The board turns from seven across to ten across when you turn the phone, and keeps your gems.
Is it free? Does it collect anything?
Free, no account needed. Your mode, sound choice and best scores stay in this browser, settings sync if you are signed in, and Timed scores are saved only for signed-in players with a handle.
