About the game

In the game, you must swap two adjacent gems to line up three or more of the same jewel type horizontally or vertically to eliminate them. Keep playing until there are no moves left or you've conquered the board. Bejeweled's gameplay can be fun for both kids and adults.

The value story

It has been discounted 57 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Zuma's Revenge! ($4.99, scores 91) and Zuma Deluxe ($4.99, scores 93) both outscore it.

What players say

Easy to play, good way to zone out before bedtime or when you've had a lot of stress. Just keep an eye on the clock or set an alarm or you'll suddenly realize you've been playing for hours.

Elegant in its simplicity, Bejeweled by Popcap Games has become the very definition of Match 3 games. One of the first games where my kids would delight in beating my high scores. My kids are off raising their own families now, so I play for the memories. Highly recommended. And yes, I own the scoreboard now!
