Jewel Garden Story is a match-3 game with a garden renovation theme. On a winding path of stepping stones, the player completes match-3 games across countless levels in gardens. After each success, new flowers and other items appear near the closest garden, including flower boxes, flowering bushes, potted plants, wheelbarrows and wooden benches.
The jewels in the game are different shapes made from precious stones or shells. The shapes include a white crescent moon, a golden crown, a blue two-tone blue-striped circular bead, and a green leaf. The player performs tasks by aligning three or more matching shapes on a column or row. A task might involve collecting a certain number of specific jewels or nearby items, such as pies, grass patches or gift boxes.
The player can also create useful boosters that remove non-matching jewels with a single move by matching four or more jewels at a time. For example, they can create a variety of rockets and bombs. They can buy and win boosters as well.
Jewel Garden Story provides the player with extra daily deal coins for free. They can also win cash and booster prizes via the lucky garden wheel. At the end of a match game, they can multiply their winnings with an ad view. Lastly, the game offers time attack bonus play and winnings.
