Emoji Bejeweled — Match-3 Puzzle Game

Getting Started

Emoji Bejeweled is a match-3 puzzle game where you swap adjacent emoji tokens to create lines of three or more identical emoji. When a match is made, those emoji disappear and new ones fall from the top to fill the gaps. The goal is to score as many points as possible before time runs out or no more moves are available.

Click or tap on one emoji, then click an adjacent emoji to swap them. The swap only works if it creates a valid match of 3 or more in a row or column. Matches of 4 or 5 emoji create special power-ups with unique effects. When new emoji fall into place and create additional matches, you earn cascade bonuses with increasing multipliers.

How to Score Big

• Cascade chains: The most valuable moves are those that trigger chain reactions. When the falling emoji after a match create new matches, each subsequent cascade multiplies your points. Look for setups where one swap creates multiple cascades.
• Work from the bottom: Making matches near the bottom of the board causes more emoji to shift, increasing the chance of unplanned cascades. Top matches only affect a small area.
• Match 4 or 5: Matching 4 in a row creates a special emoji that clears an entire row or column when matched. Matching 5 creates a super token that can clear all emoji of one type. Always prioritize these over standard 3-matches.
• Plan two moves ahead: Before making a move, check if the resulting board state sets up your next move. Good players always think at least one move ahead.
• Remix wisely: When available, use the remix feature to shuffle the board when you are stuck. But save it for when you truly have no good moves left.

The Match-3 Classic

The match-3 genre was pioneered by Bejeweled, created by PopCap Games in 2001. It became one of the most successful casual games ever made, spawning countless variations including Candy Crush Saga. The core mechanic — simple swapping with deep strategic possibilities — is what makes match-3 games endlessly replayable.

Our emoji version preserves the addictive gameplay while replacing gems with colorful emoji tokens. The visual variety of emoji makes it easy to distinguish between different types at a glance, and the familiar emoji faces add personality to every match.
